The Outsiders takes place in the late 1960s, if this story was playing out in modern (non- pandemic times), how would the story change? What are some things that would have to be
adjusted? Explain in 4 or more sentences.

Explanation:

Some things that would change would be certain scenes such as the the drive in scene, there wouldn't be as many people there, as well as sitting close together. Some other things that would be adjusted would be smoking in buildings or hospitals smoking isn't as socially acceptable as it was in the 60s. Some other minor details include the gas station scene when soda pop was filling up gas, that isn't a custom anymore. Lastly the obvious one they would all be wearing masks which I believe would have changed the course of the movie due to the fact smoking is a part of the characters appearance.
