__﻿That was Then This is Now.__
The scene I like from the movie and novel was when Bryon and Mark hustle the Texans. In the movie, Charlies bar has 2 rooms. One with the bar and the other with the 2 pool tables. In the novel Charlies bar is smaller and has only 1 pool table in the same room as his bar. In the novel Charlie doesn't approve of the guys taking drinks without paying. Also because they are under-age. Charlie shares a beer with Bryon in the movie, and doesn't say anything if Marks takes beer while they are playing pool. As the boys leave the bar in the movie, the Texans are waiting in the alley to teach them a lesson. So they corner them. The only weapon they have is a gun.Charlie makes shots at the Texans while Mark and Bryon run for him. As the Texans are shooting back, Charlie gets hit and goes down beside Bryon. After Charlies death, Mark realized the comment he made was the reason the Texans shot back so he seems to take Chralie's death the hardest. In the book, the Texans corner Mark and Bryon with brass knuckles and a gun. The boys took off twards Charlie. When this happened, the Texans fired the gun at them. Charlie shoots back but gets hit by a bullet and lands ontop of Bryon. Shortly after Charlie's death, Bryon takes it the hardest. I liked this scene, because I found it suspenseful.

The scene I dislike from the movie and novel is the fight at the dance. In the movie a random guy goes after Bryon, but he does'nt want to fight because he is with Cathy, so he backs down. Mark decided to stand up to the guy and ends up getting hit over the head with a bottle. He is concious after the hit. He seemed to act as if nothing even happened to him. In the novel Curly Shepard goes after Mark when he tells him to fight fair. So Curly knocks Mark out with a bottle. Bryon ends up having to take him to the hospital for stitches. The doctor told Mark to take it easy until he is feeling himself again. I didn't like this scene, because it is too different than the novel. Everything seemed to be changed up and it wasn't as good as the novel.
