There is always a difference between a book and the remake in a movie, just with the outsiders it has many similarities and differences. One similarity would be in both the movie and the book they would meet Cherry Valentine in the theatre. Another similarity is when johnny kills Cherry Valentine’s boyfriend, Bob, which plays a huge part in the story. Next the church caught on fire which, Dally, Ponyboy, and Johnny all saved kids. Second to last Johnny dies a few days later because of the fire and it sends a few people crazy. Lastly Darry also gets shot up by the police because he robbed a store, and pulled out his gun on purpose, he wanted to die because of his best friend Johnny, he didn't know what to do without him. The few similarities from the book to the movie, the big similarities.
Finally for the differences, there is always a difference no matter what, everybody makes mistakes. When Ponyboy goes to the theatre to get some popcorn with Cherry, in the book there is no fight but in the movie, there are 2 boys fighting over popcorn. Next, in the beginning of the book a few Soc’s beat Ponyboy up but in the book, they never spoke of it, at all. And the fight with Ponyboy and Dally, instead of him slapping Ponyboy in the book, Dally pushes Ponyboy and Ponyboy runs out. Another difference would be that in the book, the whole thing is in 1st person or Ponyboy’s POV, and in the movie it's in 3rd person. Second to last, in the book when Darry, Ponyboy, and Johnny went to Dairy Queen, there wasn't a girl that asked for 00.15$ but in the movie she begs for money and Darry screams at her and she runs off. Lastly they never mentioned Sodapop’s girlfriend in the movie but in the book there was a whole part about her and about Sodapop’s feelings. In the movie, it skipped lots of things, and I didn't like it, because it skipped all of the emotions and that made me dislike the movie a little. But overall I would think the book is way better than the movie because you get all of the detail and everything included.
In the movie Ponyboy wasn't as sensitive as he was in the book. And for Darry he wasn't mean in the movie at all he didn't jerk Ponyboy around until he slapped him. Steve is still rowdy and everything in the movie. Sodapop is positive as always. And Bob would also be a drunk addict. Dally was positive and still protected and loved Johnny. And a lot of characters changed in the movie.
