What characters in the outsiders are different in the book than in the movie?

Answer 1

In the book "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, the character of Cherry Valance is portrayed as a more complex and conflicted individual compared to the movie adaptation. Additionally, the character of Johnny Cade is depicted as more introspective and sensitive in the book, whereas the movie focuses more on his physical appearance and actions. Lastly, the relationship dynamics between the characters, particularly Ponyboy and Dally, are more nuanced and layered in the book than in the movie adaptation.

Answer 2

im reading this book too,but i just started the movie today. i watched like half of it,but still i havent find the diff/similarities..try to think about the setting, behaviors of the cahracters and stuff like that.

Answer 3

Many people who have read the book and watched the movie entitle The Outsiders liked the book better. The movie does not show all of the emotions that the characters have, but it does have feature popular actors from the 1980s.

Answer 4

The book was different from the movie because the movie had deleted scenarios from the book. However, in the full version, they did a pretty good job of being faithful to the book. Another difference was the character's apperance. In the book it said that Dallas Winston had blonde hair. in the movie, Dally appeared to have dark brown hair. In the book, it also didn't describe that Johnny was of a different race (darker in skin tone). One last difference was that the movie has much less detail then the book. In the book it described how Ponyboy felt about everything. In the movie everything just went fast and it didnt really talk about the way Ponyboy felt.

Answer 5

The movie had a couple differences than the book. Some of the characters did not appear in the movie as much as they did in the book. In the Movie the Socs were from the South instead of the West. Ponyboy doesn't smoke as much in the movie as they said so in the book. In the movie, Dallys and Sodapop's hair were brown instead of blonde. During the movies, they sat on chairs and walked home. In the book, they sat on blankets and drove home in a car. In the book, Ponyboy and Johnny sleep in the lot looking at the stars. In the movie, they slept in the woods looking at the stars. When Ponyboy comes home around 2:00am, Darry slaps him across the face. In the movie, Darry pushes Ponyboy and he falls over a chair. When Dally takes them out to eat, Johnny and Ponyboy gobble their food down. In the movie, Johnny drops his burger. In the movie, When Johnny and Darry are in the hospital, Ponyboy doesn't feel very well
