S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders

 

On contrary, citing outsiders as an example, the reader here is made to understand that the story only takes place in the Southwest. However, the movie brings forth the reality of the story by locating the exact place that the movie is being staged. This film affirms that the whole story took place in the Tulsa of Oklahoma that was in the year 1966. With this, it should be noted that both the reality and broadness of the story is vividly addressed in the location. The film actors made it wise to drive their audience to Oklahoma so that they can bring forth a connection between the story and the surrounding. Of course, it is obvious that a film's location will always mean a lot to the believability of the audience, and that is why, the film was created from a different environment from the one in the novel. Mind location can at times bring very little interferences with the believability of the audience however; the visual location will always constitute a larger percent of the believability of the film.
             Another difference also is the character wise. It is noted in the movie that Ponyboy is narrating a story in both the film and the novel. However, the film, glosses on several characters. Here, Poyboy brings forth a character that ensures the audience misses the most of the available characters. The notion of characterization is not vivid in the film as it is in the novel itself. For instance, it is notable that several characters are incorporated in both the film and the novel. For request, Darry and Soda who forms a mirror character in the movie. However, Dally is as well incorporated in the film and that his death losses a lot of the expected impact. Further, the readers are the only audience who understands that the gun that Dally had was unloaded. In the same way, the readers are the ones who understand that the unloading of the Dally's gun symbolized a certain phenomenon. This phenomenon is lost in the film since the actual symbolism of the Dally's gun being unloaded is hidden.
