B6 Paragraph -- Dallas

Write a paragraph contrasting (pointing out differences) between Dallas in the book and Dallas in the movie.

Book              Both            Movie 
 blonde                                 dark brown
(almost white)
blue eyes                              brown eyes
elfish face                             not elfish
pointed chin                         not pointed chin
sharp animal teeth               regular teeth
lynx-like ears                        regular, rounded ears
                         doesn't like kids
not good-looking                   cute, handsome
                         personality about the same
                          been in the cooler

   Dallas Winston's looks are very different in the movie than they are in the book.  In the movie Dallas' hair is dark brown, but in the book it is described as so blonde it is almost white.  Another difference is that in the movie he is somewhat handsome, while in the book he is not good-looking at all.   While his eyes in the movie are brown, the book says his eyes are an icy blue.  

We can see that Dallas Winston in the movie looks very different from Dallas Winston in the book The Outsiders.
