 * Banned Book: The Outsiders**



** Movie Poster Rationale **
 * I made the movie pg-13 because I wanted to convey the message that the book should not be banned. However, I believe that you must be a more mature viewer, and that parents should consider before letting their kids watch it.
 * I made the poster black and white for the most part because I wanted the viewer to see that this is more of a sad story, and that a bulk of the book has a negative tone.
 * I did make a few things on the poster colored. The book, “Gone With the Wind”, and old church are colored because that is what brightened Pony Boy and Johnny’s moods. The church provided shelter and the book provided entertainment to help them pass time.
 * I put two pictures together on the top left corner, these are to show the dark, worn down side of town that the greasers lived on compared to the brighter, higher class side of town that the socs lived on.
 * I found a picture with a group of guys standing together to resemble the group of greasers that were like family to Pony Boy throughout the novel. Although the figures are dark(much like the greasers were viewed) they stand close together to show how they all stood up for one another.
 * I decided to put, “A group of kids trying to make it through the obstacles life gives them”, in text on my poster just to make that statement. I wanted to convey to the viewer that although some of the events and context in the novel is frowned upon, the story is simply about a group of kids that try to get each other through the tough times.
