Journal #7
One remediation is The Outsiders. The Outsiders was originally a book by S.E. Hinton but was turned into a movie in 1983. Although the movie isn’t exactly the book it does a great job of incorporating almost the entire book in the movie. A few differences that are noticeable in the movie are; it skips Ponyboy getting jumped, tell that it’s Ponyboy’s essay and shows Cherry and Marcia fight with their boyfriends. I’m not sure why the director chose to not include the scene where Ponyboy is jumped because this serves as a way to introduce all the characters in the novel and to tell their background. I think that it tells that the movie is actually his essay as a way to by-pass the introduction that Hinton uses but I think the introduction Hinton uses is much more of a hook. Although there are a few changes this remediation was far better than most normally turn out.
