The Outsiders compare and contrast essay

There’s a lot of comparing and contrasting to the Outsiders book and to the movie. In the book there was a lot more detail, about everyone and everything that happened and what was going to happen. In general, the book was way more descriptive and more detailed than the movie. For example: in the movie, they left out some scences that were in the book and also they added scence’s. Also sometimes there were different actions that would happen in the movie that wasn’t in the book. For example: when Ponyboy went to sleep form staring at the stars in the book he had a nice dream, but the movie, he had a nightmare. Also there was a different dialogue from the book than in the movie. In the book, Ponyboy always or most of the time speaks to himself in his mind, but in the movie, he mostly talks out loud to everyone or someone but maybe because it’s hard to do that in a movie.

I have to say that I liked the book a little better than the movie. The book really gave you a detailed description and detailed visual of what the story and the characters and everything else looked like. In the movie they just cut out to many scences and bits and added their own, which made the movie really confusing.
