The outsiders- Book to movie comparison and differences

There were many differences and similarities in the movie and the book ‘The outsiders’.

A difference between the two was how, in the book after Ponyboy accidentally falls asleep in the lot Darry gets mad and slaps him. Although in the movie Darry only harshly pushes Ponyboy to the ground. Also when Johnny and Ponyboy try to find the church to hid in, in the book Ponyboy asks for directions, but in the movie he does not and Johnny just walk straight to the church. As well in the movie and the book Dally offers to take Johnny and Ponyboy out to eat after they were in the church for five days. When they are eating in the book no one seems to disturb them or talk to them, although in the movie a little girl and boy go up to Dally and ask him if he has any change. One thing that did quite stand out is that in the book Ponyboy says how Sodapop has this rusty blonde colored long hair, but in the movie Sodapop had blackish brown dark hair. Another thing is when Ponyboy is talking to Randy and Randy says how his friends will think he's soft if he were to talk to nicely of Bob. Although while in the movie he says they will think he is off his rocker if he would even say something like that to him. Lastly when Two-bit and Ponyboy see Johnny pass out the nurse rushes them out the door and tells them they have to leave. Although in the movie they decide that they should leave and the nurse doesn't say anything about them having to leave immediately.

Within the book and movie there are five particular similarities I have found. The first one was, how in both the book and movie Darry tells Ponyboy he looks like he is really sick and shouldn't fight in the rumble that night. Second is when both Johnny and Ponyboy are at the church in hiding all they have to eat is bologna sandwiches. Also when there is a fire set to the church Ponyboy and Johnny save the kids from the church. Also after Johnny kills Bobby Cherry becomes a spy for the greasers. Sadly the last similarity is how when both Dally and Johnny die in the book and movie they both mention to say Ponyboy or speak to Ponyboy.

Throughout the movie I do not believe that the actors or directors deliver the messages that were taught in the book. The actors did not do so good at showing their emotions well enough for someone to receive it fully. Also during the important and sad moment of some of the scenes in the movie they were not showed fully by showing the true emotion of the actor/character.
Overall this is how I felt about the movie and how it was portrayed, and what differences and similarities were shown in both the book and movie.
