It’s like the term “greaser,” which is used to class all us boys on the East Side.” This quote is said by Ponyboy, while he’s walking home from the movie theater.

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him.

    I want my friend to read the book, because I think it gives more detail than the movie does. The movie doesn’t show most of the important parts that the book explains. The movie skipped the part when Ponyboy got jumped by the Socs, when Johnny’s mom came and visited him in the hospital, it never told us about Mickey Mouse (Soda’s horse), and it skipped the rodeo. Some of the similarities the movie and the book share are: The greasers get treated the same way, the language is the same, Pony runs off, and Johnny and Dally die in the end. There are more similarities, but those are only a few.…
