389 Words2 Pages

The Outsiders “Stay gold.” These 2 words were first spoken in one of America’s most famous stories, The Outsiders. However, the phrase was used both in the book, as well as Coppola’s movie remake. In today's world, movies are notorious for changing things from the original book. The Outsiders is no exception from this stereotype. Francis Ford Coppola changed and cut scenes from the book to emphasize the traits of characters and to condense time. The character Dallas Winston is very different from the book in the movie. One example is in the beginning of the movie when Dally yells at two kids after they get in his way. He then chases them out of the park, yelling along the way. Also, when Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally are at Dairy Queen

    "The Colored balcony ran along three walls of the courtroom like a second-story veranda, and from it (a person) could see everything" (P.166) The film in no way lives up to the detailed best-selling novel Harper Lee wrote.
