I enjoyed the novel more because it gave more in depth, where as in the movie it missed some important parts that I wished to look out for. If I were to rate, I would rate the novel 9 out of 10 and the movie 7 out of 10. However, I did like the movie in terms of the illustrations. It gave a better visual sense to imagine how each and very character looks like and to as what happened for a better understanding. The best part was the church as shown in both. It was well organised and each detail was given. As in the novel, it was specifically narrated, where on the other hand the movie wasn’t narrated, but it was

    Did you know that in the movie the Outsiders when Ralph Macchio (Johnny) auditioned to play the part of Johnny he rubbed dirt on his face just so he could get the part of Johnny.

    I hear the familiar yell of my mother from downstairs as I scramble to fix the bookshelf I had just toppled over. I was twelve at the time, yet my curiosity and boyish desire to explore led me to my failed attempt to reach the fabled attic. It was about ten feet tall to reach the cord that would open the attic, so I devised a scheme to use the bookcase as a stepstool.

    Each had their pros and cons, such as with the book you could imagine the people's faces and voices and facial expressions, whereas you could not in the movie. However, the film did portray the elements better all in all. For example, the movie made the confusion in the forest much more clear than in the story. While one could imagine the people chasing after one another and getting lost, it was much easier to actually see them getting lost and the actor's expressions of confusion and anger to show them being lost. Also, the film seemed to extend certain arguments.…
