    Which is better: book or movie? The age-old debate. But which is better? S.E Hinton's, 'The Outsiders' book is far superior to Francis F. Coppola's motion-picture film portrayal of the book in 1983. You might remember it from the popular quote, "Stay Gold". Today it is mostly read in middle school classrooms. The Outsiders was published by S.E Hinton in 1967 when she was a teenager. The main focus throughout the story is the feud between two gangs: The Socials (Socs) and the Greasers. "We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder too". The whole book is written in Ponyboy Curtis's point of view. So, we are hearing the story through a Greaser's perspective. It is often difficult to make a connection with a character over the big screen. You miss out on scenes that did not make it into the movie, some that were are not emphasized like they should have been, and some characters were portrayed wrongly.

  • The Outsiders Movie Vs Book

    980 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the biggest similarities was that the movie followed very close to the book’s script. Sometimes it was so close that the dialogue in the book was repeated word for word by the movie characters. The sentence “Things are rough all over” was a quote said by Cherry Valance and was important in both the book and movie. Another quote that was monumental was “Nothing gold can stay” written by Robert Frost and said by Pony when he and Johnny were at the church. This poem explained that nothing good can last. Johnny told Ponyboy to “Stay gold” before he died. (Coppola, The Outsiders). Both the movie and book are saying that if one stays innocent, then their life will be a lot safer and easier. An example of this is that if Johnny hadn’t killed the Soc, he wouldn’t have had to run away. This way, they wouldn’t have started the fire in the church and Johnny would still be

    The movie and the book are different in many ways but at the same time they have a lot of things in common, the movie doesn't have as much details as the book does but it is a very good movie. In the movie you can very easily see and understand what's going on being you are watching the whole thing with your eyes. The movie also shows you how the students have to fight each and everyday just so that they protect themselves in the streets, the streets is all they know because well they were born and raised in the streets so they learned all about it & are about it. In the movie you can clearly see the struggle they go through, and how the streets are & when they're in school. School is supposed to be a safe place for all kids.

    The movie and the story had some of the same characters but some weren't exactly the same. The movie introduced many different characters and changed some of the others. For example, the movie had the plant lady and had the mentor of Anderton as the founders of Precrime while in the book, Anderton was the only founder of Precrime. Also, Witwer wasn't blond he had black hair and Kapler wasn't named Kapler he was named Crow. In the story they had the red head Fleming who did not exist

    For example, Mama goes to the bank in the movie and is given a hard time about paying her mortgage, but this did not happen in the book. Another major difference is that the school bus scene, where the Logan kids played a trick on the white kids, was not shown in the movie, even though it was an important part of the story. There are some character changes as well. Lillian Jean, Jeremy, R.W, and Melvin are Simms’ in the book, but in the movie they are Kaleb Wallace’s children. However, the main plot difference is how the movie starts in the middle, summarizing everything from the first part of the book very briefly. Additionally, many scenes are switched around and placed out of order. Altogether, the plot and character changes contribute to my unfavorable impression of the

  • The Outsiders Movie Vs Book

    I strongly think that the book “The Outsiders” written by S.C. Hinton, is better than the movie. When you start the movie there is no explanation to what is going on or who anyone is. In the movie if you didn't read the book you wouldn't know that there is the big conflict between the greasers or Socs. I think the book explains and introduces each character very well. In the movie they left out huge details on the story background and important parts in the movie, like when Randy tells Ponyboy about how Bob acts naughty and gets into trouble because nobody will tell him no. The book gives more detail and I feel like the book is more interesting than the movie because when you go watch the movie you don't know really what's going on. My understanding

  • Compare And Contrast Outsiders Book And Movie

    808 Words  | 2 Pages

    Whenever a great book is released, a movie is sure to follow. Some movies don’t capture the full image of the book, and the Outsiders movie, while close, is very different than the book. The book the Outsiders was released in 1967 by S.E. Hinton who was only seventeen. The book gained multiple rewards later on. The movie was made almost twenty years later in 1983. The movie shows fans a visual representation of the book, The Outsiders. The Outsiders book is different from the movie because the book shows Ponyboy’s thoughts, the movie doesn’t show much of what happens to Ponyboy after Dally’s death, and doesn’t show movie-watchers much of Johnny’s backstory.

    In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
