In the book “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton uses idioms in more of a serious way than in the video we watched for homework. For example in the video one idiom is who spilt the beans  as a joke. Literally it means who spilled the beans, figuratively it means who told the secret. In the Outsiders one idiom is “sweating something fierce” (Hinton 25). Literally the idiom means you are sweating out a monster, figurally it means you are sweating a lot. Ponyboy is running from another gang and sweating a lot.  All in all both the video and the book “The Outsiders” use idioms in two different ways.

In The Outsiders and the idioms in the  “Confessions of an idiom” video are different because the in The Outsiders the idioms are very hard to find because of how it fits the time period, while the idioms video it is very obvious they are using idioms. For example,In the idioms video “Confessions of an idiom” they make it very obvious that their using idioms when the skeleton says “I have a bone to pick with you”(Koh and Helms). This quote makes it obvious that their using a quote because the skeleton took of his arm. Making it obvious what he is trying to say. For instance, in The Outsiders their quotes are more hidden after that when Ponyboy describes “Johnny was scared of his own shadow after that” (S. E. Hinton 5). The reason why this is hidden in the text so well because Johnny was jumped by the gang called the socs. After that attack Johnny was never the same he was extremely nervous and seemed to be scared of everything, which is why this quote fits in so perfectly.All in all, the idioms in The Outsider and “Confessions of an Idiom”  are differently used and approached.

In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton she uses a serious tone to relate back to the time period.  "Confessions of an idiom" uses a funny and silly tone to show how idioms are used.
In The Ousiders, Ponyboywas talking about his dad and he said "his eyes are dark brown-lively, dancing, recklessly laughing eyes that can be gentle and sympathetic one moment and blazing with anger the next"(Hinton 8). This is an idiom because his eyes aren't actually dancing or laughing that is just how they look. In "confessions of an idiom" when the elephant is showing a can that says"spill the beans"(Koh and elms).  This is an idiom because spill the beans is another way of saying talk or tell the truth.
All in all  idioms can be used in different ways to set a time period.

In The outsiders, Hinton uses a serious tone and idioms to show what the time period is. Also in “Confessions of an Idiom” uses a silly tone to show a the literal meaning of idioms. In  The outsiders ponyboy is at the movies with the girls being nice after dally was  making mean remarks and left. Ponyboy was talking when ”He had me scared to death”(Hinton 23). If this was literally the girl would have died because dally scared her,but Hinton was just showing that the girl was really scared of dally. Today people don't usually use the saying (maybe in the country). This shows the setting is in the 1960’s.  In “Confessions of an Idiom” uses idioms like ”I got my eye on you’’(koh and elms. The skeleton literally took his eye and put it on the elephant, meaning it was literal. People use the saying today but in a figurative way.All in all, The outsiders and “Confessions of an Idiom” both use idioms but in different ways.

In Confessions of an Idiom by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms, they use idioms to create a comedic effect and in “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, she uses idioms to make the character’s words more realistic. In Confessions of an Idiom, the main character, the skeleton in the closet gets angry at the elephant in the room and says “ ‘I’ve got a bone to pick with you’ “ (Koh and Helms). By saying this, this adds comedic effect because a skeleton is made of bones, and doesn’t relate to his character because his emotions greatly vary throughout the piece. But, in the Outsiders, when Two Bit sees the girls Johnny and Ponyboy are with, he says, “ ‘Where’d you two ever get to be picked up by a couple of greasy hoods like Pony and Johnny’ “ (Hinton 28). By saying this, Two Bit’s language sounds more like what someone would say back in the 1960s because they used many idioms and slang. So, the authors of Confessions of an Idiom and “The Outsiders” use idioms in different ways.

In the novel The Outsiders and in the video "Confessions of an Idiom" both uses idioms but in different ways. In The Outsiders the author uses idioms in a figurative way and to move the story along. When Ponyboy is describing his brother Soda he says "His eyes are dark brown - lively, dancing, recklessly laughing eyes..."(Hinton 8). When talking of his brothers eyes he is trying to describe how alive and happy he looks from just his eyes. He doesn't mean that his eyes are actually dancing and laughing. ON the other hand, in "Confessions of an Idiom" they uses idioms literally. When the Skeleton in the Closet is confessing he says " I stabbed a guy in the back!" Unlike in The Outsiders we see an actually man has been stabbed in the back. The same is with all idioms used in the video they use their literal meaning. Therefore, The Outsiders uses the figurative meaning of its idioms and "Confessions of an Idiom" uses the literal meaning.

In The Outsiders, Hinton uses serious tones that relate back to the time period that the book was published in. And “Confessions of an idiom”, the author uses funnily/silly tones to show idioms in a literal way. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy is different from the gang when he says “Nobody in our gang digs movies and books the way I do” (Hinton 2). If she was talking about this literally, Ponyboy would actually be digging a movie out of the ground. But Hinton was actually meaning is that nobody likes movies and books the way Ponyboy does. In modern time, people don’t use words like “dig” because people would think of what you were saying differently. Differently, “Confessions of an idiom” uses idioms like “I got my eye on you” (Koh and Helms) in a literal way. The skeleton actually had his eye on the elephant, but people say that today because they are watching a person carefully. In conclusion, The Outsiders and “Confessions of an idiom” both use idioms but in different ways.

Literally this means that nobody in the gang digs books and movies out of the ground like Ponyboy. What the author is actually trying is that nobody in the gang enjoys or likes movies and books the way Ponyboy does. Now a days, people don't say that they "dig" things often because our time period is different from the time period in the book.

The idioms in the novel flow with the story more and the idioms in the video are just random idioms put out there. In the video the skeleton states “Ok, let me bounce this off you, I’ve had my eye on you” (Koh and Helms). In the video the skeleton is talking to the elephant is saying all of these idioms, but they have very little words in between them so the idioms are not flowing together. Literally, the skeletons eye is on the elephant. The authors mean that the skeleton was watching the elephant very carefully. The idioms are choppy and are literal meanings, so they are actually happening. Differently, in the novel The Outsiders Dally states, “ You’ve got me scared to death” (Hinton 22). In the novel Dally isn’t get scared to death he is just really scared of something or someone, but Dally is actually being sarcastic in his statement. Literally, Dally is being scared to death, but figuratively he is being scared of something. Therefore, These two pieces are using idioms but in two totally different ways.
