comparison book to movie the “Outsiders”

Similarities and differences from the book to the movie

Both book and movie have similarities and differences.  some similarities from both the book and movie the “Outsiders” were. When the greasers went to the to the movies and they started bothering Sherri and Marcia. When ponyboy introduces himself to Sherri. Talking about Sherrie a similarity that I found in both the movie and the book was that Sherrie was fake. She told ponyboy that she didn't want to talk to him in school.when ponyboy in the movie said nothing “gold can stay” the poem was also in the book in chapter 5 pg 77 that also happens in the book.  However both book and movie have differences as well. Some differences that I found in the movie and in the book “ The outsiders” was that in the book it started out differently than from the movie. In the book it started out when the socs cut darrys hair.  the movie started out when the greasers when to drive in (the movies) when in the book we had to wait like 3 chapters. In the book Darry was introduced better in the movie they showed Darry mean to his brother right away. In the book The Socs are from the west part of town and the Greasers are from the east. In the movie the Socs are from the South side and the Greasers are from the North. Overall both book and movie have similarities and differences.


The author made a great job in the movie describing some of the scenes in the book to the movie. For example when the outsiders went to the movies the scene were really similar and they said similar things. Overall I think that both the actors and directors did a great job in the movie.
