The novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and the animated film "Confessions of an Idiom" by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms both use idioms, but interpret them in different ways. The outsiders use idioms in a figurative way. For example when Ponyboy says, “Sodapop’s never cracked a book” (Hinton 57) he means soda pop has never read a book, not hitting a book with a hammer. On the other hand “Confessions of an Idiom” use idioms in a literal way. The main character says “spill the beans” (Koh and Helms) he means tell the secret, but in the film he literally tips over a can of beans (Koh and Helms). In conclusion, idioms can be interpreted many ways, these three authors show two different ways.

In the book “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton and the video Confessions of an Idiom: Animated Comedy by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms, idioms are used to get a point across. The creator of the video uses idioms that are meant to be taken literally. For example, when the skeleton says “Look at me, I’m falling apart” (Koh and Helms) in the video, he is actally falling to pieces. In the “Outsiders”, the idioms are not literal but figurative. When Johhny states, “Stay gold, Ponyboy’ (Hinton 126), it is meant to be taken as Johnny telling Ponyboy to remain good. All in all, both the story and the video both use idioms in different ways to advance there story and video.

Figurative and Literal Idioms

In both, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and the Confessions of an idiom animated by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms each use idioms in a figurative and literal way.  In, The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton uses idioms to relate to the time frame in which the story takes place, and it is described that,”Soda who is sixteen-going-on-seventeen never cracks a book at all” (Hinton 2).  The way that S.E. Hinton said the idiom was in a figurative way to relate to a personality trait about Soda.  She never meant Soda never physically cracks a book at all, figuratively she meant that Soda never opens a book.  On the other hand in animation,”Confessions of an Idiom” by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms, they approach the idiom in a literal way when the skeleton was so upset he yelled,”Look at me, I’m falling apart!” (Koh and Helms).  The animators took the idiom in a literal way because in the video when the Elephant spilled the beans, the skeleton’s rib cage came off and his bones started to cripple to pieces and fall off him.  All in all,  in The Outsiders and “Confessions of an Idiom” each of the makers use idioms but in a figurative way and in a literal way.
Idioms Used:
Novel -  "Soda, who is sixteen-going-on-seventeen never cracks a book at all" (Hinton 2).
Video - "Look at me, I'm falling apart" (Koh and Helms).

In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hilton, and “Confessions of an Idiom” animated comedy, by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms, the idioms are used in different ways. In the video, the skeleton doesn’t want the elephant to go anywhere, so he says, “I have my eye on you” (Koh and Helms). This literally means that the skeleton took his eye out of his head, and put it on the skeleton. This actually means that the skeleton is always watching the elephant, and not taking his eye out of his head and putting it onto the elephant. The video is trying to be funny, and it’s basically a joke. If someone said something the video said, people would probably think that you’re crazy. However, in The Outsiders, it is a little different because,“Johnny is afraid of his own shadow” (Hinton 4). This literally means that Johnny can’t look at his shadow because he is too afraid. This actually means that Johnny is afraid of almost everything. In the novel, the idioms aren’t supposed to be funny. Since this book took place in the 60’s, that’s just how they talk. Overall, the use of idioms in the video are different than the ones in the book.

The meanings of the idioms in The Outsiders and “Confessions of an Idiom” are different.  In “Confessions of an Idiom”, the skeleton in the closet has to confess, so the elephant tells him to “Spill the Beans” (Koh and Helms).  The Elephant in the room tells him to confess, in a variety of different idioms, but when the elephant literally spills a can of beans, the skeleton confesses.  Also, In The Outsiders, Soda and Ponyboy are acting crazy, so Darry tells them, “‘You’re both nuts’” (Hinton 8).  There are lots of idioms in The Outsiders, because that fit within the time period.  Darry, Pony, Soda, and the rest of their gang use idioms in a figurative way, unlike the video.  All in all the idioms in “Confessions of an Idiom” and The Outsiders have a different meaning.

In the book The Outsiders written by S.E. Hinton and the video "The Confessions of an Idiom" Animated by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms both use idioms to enhance or make the video/story more interesting.  In the video, written by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms, the skeleton and elephant both are making funny but literal idioms. For example, when the skeleton says "[He] stabbed a man in the back"(Koh and Helms). When the skeleton says that he stabbed a man in the back he actually shows that he stabbed a man in the back with a knife, therefore Koh and Helms make it very clear that it is literal. Also, by saying and showing the spectators the idiom they used, the animators enhance their video and make it humerous by making the characters do the literal part of the idiom. Similarly, in the novel The Outsiders written by S.E. Hinton, one of the main characters, Ponyboy, is talking about how Greasers don't use anything cheap when they fight each other they use their fist "' It blows off steam better than anything'"(Hinton 29). When Hinton uses this idiom she doesn't mean it literally she says it so that it's figurative. Also, S.E. Hinton uses the idioms to make her writing interesting so that it doesn't sound repetitive. So, in the video "Confessions of an idiom" by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms and in the book The Outsiders written by S.E. Hinton, they both use idioms to enhance their writing and to make it more interesting

In the Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and The Confessions of an Idiom: Animated Comedy by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms utilize idioms in their work for different reasons. In the video, Koh and Helms take idioms in a literal sense and therefore explain how idioms are supposed to be understood. In the idioms video they say, "Elephant in the room" (Koh and Helms). This idiom displays the point that Koh and Helms were trying to make because in the video there is an actual elephant in the room. The expression "elephant in the room" means that there is pressing matter for the subjects to talk about. In The Outsiders, Hinton uses idioms to enhance her work by using the figuratively. For example, the book states, "Soda would flip when I told him" (Hinton 25). This idiom would mean that Soda would be surprised when Pony told him his news. Literally, this idiom would mean that when Pony told Soda the news he would do a flip in midair. Hinton uses this idiom to make her writing easier and more enjoyable to read. All in all, in both The Outsiders and The Confessions of an Idiom: Animated Comedy, the authors use idioms for different purposes throughout.
