Write a paragraph or two using details to include the items you listed showing their likeness and differences. Tell me why you liked this particular part of the novel/movie so much.

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.

My favorite scene from "That Was Then, This Is Now" would have to be the scene at the school dance when my got hit in the head wiht a beer bottle. This scene was my favorite because it was very funny and filled with some action. There was a good bit of difference in this scene between the movie and the book. I thought that the movie was a good bit funnier, but the book was in better explanation of why and what had exactly happened. In the book, Angela sent a boy after Ponyboy Curtis which was Mark's friend. Angela had recently dumped Bryon for Ponyboy Curtis, but Ponyboy didnt like her, so she sent a stanger after him. When he found Mark and Ponyboy he tried to get in a fight with him, so Mark tried to break it up and ended up getting hit in the head with a beer bottle. Bryon and Cathy were inside when this had happened. Then Bryon toke Mark to the hospital to get fixed up. In the movie, Angela didn't send the boy after Ponyboy, she sent him directly at Mark. It didn't really give any reason to why she did in the movie. Bryon and Cathy were already outside when the fight had taken place. Mark had gotten hit, then Bryon punched the kid in the face for it. It didn't say Bryon had punched the kid in the book, it said the kid had run off. Mark was very goofy after he got hit, but Bryon toke him straight home instead of the hospital. My least favorite scene is the scene where Charlie gets shot. They are similar by the way that in the book and the movie, Charlie gets shot in the head and that the Texans called them into the alley. The differences about this scene is that in the movie the shooting took place under a bridge instead of an alley and the book said it was a sawed-off shotgun when in the movie it was just a regular shotgun. I didn't like this scene because they changed it a lot from the book to the movie.

Favorite - 98 and least - 97. CP
