My final is about the difference between the book and the movie “The Outsiders.” This next paragraph is about the description difference between the book and movie.

How the choice of form is related to the content Holden’s tour guide relates significantly to the novel. It reflects the constant conflict between the child world and the world of adulthood. It’s also directed towards children, whom Holden enjoys interacting with much more than adults. I tried to use the same descriptive language Holden would when he talks to kids, for example, “the museum with the Indians” to describe the Museum of Natural History.

In a similar way bryan from The Breakfast Club experiences suicidal thoughts, due to the pressure of his parents and the ability to keep up with life.
Everyone everywhere struggles with conflicts on a daily basis. Some of these conflicts may be external conflicts as well as internal conflicts. Just like our lives, literature that is composed has a combination of these internal and external conflicts. These conflicts are as follows: individual versus individual, individual versus self, individual versus technology, individual versus society, and individual versus nature.
