Pick another scene that you didn't like in the novel/movie and tell me why you didn't using details from their similarities and differences.

The scene in the novel I liked was when Charlie was killed by the Texans. Byron and Mark went in to Charlies bar and asked him if there were any people who they could hustle some money off of in a game of pool. Charlie says "yes, but be careful". Byron and Mark didn't think much about that, they walk over to the pool table and there were two Texans playing pool they ask if they want to play some pool for money. The Texans say yes, so they play some pool and Byron and Mark get twentyfive dollars off of the Texans. Charlie comes up and says, closing time get out. Mark and Bryon leave Charlies bar and walk be the alley when they hear two familiar voices say come here where going to teach you a lesson on why not to hustle pool, it was the Texans. Byron and Mark walk into the alley because one of the texans had a gun, the other Texan had a pair of brass knuckles. Before the Texans could do anything to them Charlie appeared with a sawed off shotgun, he says come on boys. Byron and Mark walk by the Texans with a smirk on their faces, but when they were close to Charlie they heard a loud booom. Charlie grabbed Mark and Byron but Mark slipped out of his reach and picked up the shotgun Charlie had dropped and fired off some shots. Charlie was laying on Byron and Byron says ok charlie you can get off of me now but there was no reply. Mark and Byron looked and there was a bullet hole in between his eyes. I like this part in the novel because it was unexpected and out of no where, I hate some movies where some one is trying to do something and they always get it or do it but it was different in the novel.

- 1 Texan had a gun || - no brass knuckles in movie - Charlie does not have a sawed off shotgun in the movie - Charlie doesn't fall on Bryon in the movie - Mark and Byron did not smirk at the Texans as they walk away - no hole in between Charlies eyes where bullet entered ||
 * Similarities || Differences ||
 * - there where 2 texans

I did not like the scene in the novel where Mark and Byron where at the school dance, but in the movie the place of events was way different. In the book they go to the dance, Angela Shepard wants to go out with Ponyboy curtis, but Ponyboy doesn't want to go out with her. Angela pays a kid to hit Ponyboy in the head with a beer bottle the kid misses and hits Mark. Some one calls Mark an ambulance and a cop take the kid who hit Mark to jail. There was no ambulance in the movie and there was no cop in the movie.

Favorite - 98 and least - 97. CP
