All American Boys
All American Boys is a story about a teenage boy named Rashad that was beaten by a police officer because Rashad had accidently tripped on a white lady. The police officer assumed that Rashad had done this on purpose because Rashad was black. While Rashad did try to explain that it was an accident the police officer wouldn’t listen to him. The officer took Rashad outside and started to beat him while he was handcuffed. This novel not only talks about racism but also about police brutality and other issues. This book is manly for young adults and is a very interesting topic to talk about with a person that is very passionate about fixing many issues in society. I don’t want to spoil the book so if you want to know the rest of the story you must read it for yourself.

My Book to Movie Comparison
The Outsiders
The Outsiders novel and movie are both very interesting versions of the story. These two versions have many differences. One of these differences is that near the
beginning of the book Dally has smacked Ponyboy really hard, in the movie Dally pushed Ponyboy to a table. Another difference is that in the book when Darry died Pony fell on the floor and got sick, in the movie they didn’t show that part or Ponyboy never got sick in the movie. The next difference is that when Johnny, Darry, and Ponyboy were in the hospital and Soda and Dally came, in the book Pony gave Soda a hug and hesitated to give Dally one, in the movie Pony gave Dally and Soda a hug without hesitation. The final reason that they are different is because when Johnny died and Dally ran off, in the book Dally stole from a store, in the movie Dally broke a book and pulled a gun on the cashier. This is why the book and the movie are different.
There are also many similarities between the movie and book. One similarity that both versions have is when Dally started to annoy Cherry and Johnny tells Dally to stop. Another similarity that they both have is when Johnny tells Dally he will turn himself into the police when he returns. The next next similarity was when Johnny and Ponyboy were in the church and Pony started saying the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay. This is why the novel and the movie are similar.
The actors did a good job giving the message from the book in the movie. In some of the scenes they had bad acting but overall they did an okay job with giving us the message on some of the very important scenes. Another reason they did a good job was when certain characters died they showed the person's emotions and their actions. The next reason they did a good job was when an important scene was going on, the actors did a good job showing the characters feelings and how they were in the book. This is why the actors did a good job giving us the message of the book.

We Real Cool
In my second text We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks it connected to The Outsiders because both text talk about similar things like leaving school, death and many other topics. One topic that relates to The Outsiders was the quote “We die soon”, this topic is difficult to understand because to die means many things. But “We die soon” probably means that they were jumped one day and killed. This connects to The Outsiders because one the one part in the book when Ponyboy almost died because a Soc drowned him so Johnny had to kill him. Another quote that makes these similar is “We strike straight”, this quote is saying that their in a gang so they won’t be scared to attack a person or possibly kill them. This connects to The Outsiders because the Greasers are like a gang and they are not afraid to get in a fight and hurt the other person. These quotes prove that We Real Cool and The Outsiders are similar. In my opinion I think that these are good reasons and there were many more quotes like “We left school” and “We lurk late”. These quotes also connect to The Outsiders and also talk about things that were important in The Outsiders.
