Interesting Comparison From the Book to The Movie (The Outsiders)

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.

All Grown Up

Where I would be in 10 years would be a cook. (I have back up jobs which are a building manager or a lawyer because they make lots of money.) When I'm all grown up I'll have a nice house with three of my dream cars, a Flex which is a car that can hold like 12 people I've been in one on the way to church carrying all the members. Another car would be a drop top Mercedes, I want a drop top because I like the wind blowing in my face on the expressway and it looks really awesome, I've been in a drop top car only once in my whole entire life. Lastly the car that I would want would be a 3 wheeled motorcycle because I don't know how to ride a bike so the 3 wheels would help. But, I'd love for my nice house to be fully furnished and have a big beautiful garden. A long time from now I see my self cooking for people in my own restaurant and living a normal life. Later on in life I would be living with my girlfriend because at 23 I would be too young for a wife even though...

Life Experiences

       All of the life experiences I've ever had taught me a lot. Including my 2 nephews being born. One  of my most joyful days happened on September 21st, 2013. I became an uncle! His name was Joshua and he was my sister's baby, but to get the baby out.... She needed a c-section which is where the doctors cut her open. At this time I was walking to school and it was nice and sunny outside with the wind whistling through the air, *Ding* it was a text from my mom... and it was a picture of my little nephew. My mouth opened up wide, I couldn't believe that I was an uncle, it felt like joy and excitement both punched me at the same time. During school I couldn't stop talking about how excited I was to become an uncle. But then something brought me back in time thinking about...... *Rewind 5 Months*      It was a cold cold day, I had grabbed my bag and went to school, but I forgot to grab something important and I ran out the door so my dad c...

All American Boys Book Talk!

I just finished this book called All American Boys, It’s a novel created by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. This book talks about something that happens in Chicago a lot and it’s a problem, this is a very relatable book and I can relate because it’s happened to me before but in a different way. All American Boys is about this boy named Rashad and this boy name Quinn and something really horrible happens to Rashad before a party and the person who did the horrible thing to Rashad is actually Quinn’s admirer and something between the two happens because Quinn can’t stop thinking or talking about Rashad because what the person did was very wrong of him. My favorite part of this book is when everyone cares about Rashad and everyone goes out of their way to support Rashad in this incident. And when Rashad finds out a lot about his dad that he never said before to anyone. Rashad is a nice boy, he would never do anything wrong, he is innocent and he never means to hurt anyone, h...
