In The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, a significant difference between the book and film version during Dallys last moments is when Dally robs a bookstore and calls the greasers. In the book, the book shows Ponyboys perspective, him being driven by a man whereas the film shows the crime Dally commits, in which he robs a bookstore. An example of this is when the author writes, And I suddenly remembered Dally. . . . Dally pounding on the wall . . . Dallas is gone, I said. He ran out like the devil was after him. Hes gonna blow up. He couldnt take it (Hinton, 152).
This shows the perspective of Ponyboy describing to the greasers what had just happened. His arrival and address of the events that had transpired show that the book is focused on Ponyboys perspective and life rather than what Dally had been doing. In the movie, however, Dally appears to be reading a book in a bookstore. The owner then asks if Dally wants to buy that book. Dally rips the book apart and the owner demands he pay it back. Dally lays his feint heater on the mans head, demanding all the money. The owner then does so but pulls out his gun. Dally escapes fast enough before the police are alerted and attempt to chase him. Dally then hides near a phone booth and then proceeds to call the greasers about what happened. In the book, Darry accepts Dallys call.
The author writes, The phone rang, and after a moments hesitation, Darry turned from me to it. He said Hello and then listened. He hung up quickly. It was Dally. He phoned from a booth. Hes just robbed a grocery store and the cops are after him. We gotta hide him. Hell be at the lot in a minute (Hinton, 153). The book shows Darry accepting Dallys call from the house, and describing what happened on the phone to the greasers. This shows that the Ponyboys perspective is centered on the book. In conclusion, the movie portrays Dallys final moments through his perspective, whereas in the book Ponyboy and the gangs perspectives are conveyed.
The book portrays Ponyboys perspective because the author chose to focus on Ponyboys experiences and perspectives throughout the book and how the events that transpired caused a change in him. In the movie, however, the director decided to show Dallys final moments, wherein he robs a store. This change of scene influences the audiences understanding of what happened because the movie showing Dally robbing a store zooms in more and explains more on how Dally was severely affected by Johnnys death, which caused him to run away and rob a store because he couldnt take Johnnys death.
