The Outsiders Movie

The movie and the book are similar in many ways but they are also different in most parts. One way its different is that when Dally got shot, he didn't hold up the gun at the police. He tried to outrun them and they shot him. I also noticed that Dally went into a store and he held up a gun at the store person and not the police the way it says in the book. The movie is similar to the book though because in both the book and movie Johnny and Ponyboy save the kids from the church. It's also similar because Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold before he died. I noticed that the book and movie seemed to be a lot more alike than different in some ways.

Twisted

The theme of twisted is that once you do something people will always judge you from your past. In twisted the main character Tyler vandalized his school by spray painting in the walls and got arrested. Some people ignored him and kept their distance ever since the incident. In the book is says "People had ignored me when I was Nerd Boy, but that changed after I was arrested. A third of my fellow students kept their distance, like I might be wearing a bomb strapped to my wais. Another third looked down their noses at me because I had to work with the (gasp) custodial staff. The third third was all thumbs-up and "Yo, Tyler!" Because spray-painting a couple thousand dollars worth of damage to the school and getting my very own probation officer made me their hero." This shows how people looks at Tyler differently after doing one simple thing. Others looked up to him while others didn't. Throughout the book people still see him differently and treat him differently even accuse him for things since he was arrested.
