Idiom CER

In the book “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton, and in the video Confessions of Idioms by Amanda Koh and Molly Helms, they both use idioms differently. Both the writers use idioms to explain their points and not tell the readers what they are saying. Hinton uses idioms to give the reader an idea of what the time period is in the book. Once, Ponyboy was saying how Johnny got beaten up and, “Johnny was scared of his own shadow” (Hinton 4). Amanda Koh and Molly Helms use idioms differently. In contrast, the video Confessions of Idioms uses idioms to make it more fun. The skeleton didn’t want to admit the crimes he did so he said, “I got my eye on you” (Koh and Helms). Each author uses idioms in a different way. For instance, the novel uses older idioms, and the video uses more 20th century ones. All in all, the novel and video use unalike ways of showing idioms.

Idiom: “Johnny was scared of his own shadow.” (Hinton 4)

Literal Meaning: He was actually scared of his shadow

Figurative Meaning: He is scared of almost everything.

“Shut your trap” (Hinton 21)

The idioms in the book are different the the ones in the in the video because the ones in the video were ones that we use commonly and the ones in the book are ones that we don’t normally hear on a daily bases.  Also, the video had more of a funny tone to the idioms like to make you laugh but, the ones in the book had a very serious tone to it.  For example, in the book shut your trap is mentioned and that is a serious idiom and in the video the idioms used were more funny ones like there's an elephant in the room.  All in all, the idioms in the book and the idioms in the video are different because  of the tone and because how the idioms are used.

Idioms CER paragraph
Idioms both have literal and figurative meanings. In the idioms video we watched, the skeleton warned the elephant that "I got my eye on you" (Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms). The literal meaning of this idiom is that the skeleton's eye is on the elephant, but the figurative meaning is to be watching closely and with caution. On the other hand, "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, Hinton used an idiom to describe Sodapop and his education, "I mean my second-oldest brother, Soda, who is sixteen-going-on-seventeen, never cracks a book at all..." (Hinton 2). The figurative meaning of this idiom is that Soda isn't really into books or maybe he isn't that smart at all. On the other hand, the literal meaning of this example is to take and hammer and literally take a hammer and smash a book causing it to crack. The idioms used in the video were more humorous and was meant for teaching purposes, unlike the examples of idioms from the book which were more complex and used to create an image for the novel. All in all, S.E. Hinton, Amanda Koh, and Mollie Helms all use idioms in there work to show humorous and sophisticated examples.

Idioms CER

In the novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and the video “Confessions of an Idiom” by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms both use idioms, but are used in different ways. In The Outsiders the idioms are used figuratively meaning they are just used to make a point, like how when the narrator tells us how “Johnny was afraid of his own shadow”(Hinton 4) They didn’t actually mean that they were just trying to show that he was afraid of pretty much everything.Where as in “Confessions of an Idiom”(Koh/Helms) all of the idioms that are used there are all taken literally and seriously. This is shown when the skeleton says “Look at me I’m falling apart” and he actually just starts falling to pieces. All in all the novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and the video “Confessions of an Idiom” by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms both use idioms, but are used in different ways.

Idiom CER paragraph
The use of idioms are figurative in S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, while Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms created a video to show how idioms are demonstrated literally. In the video, the Skeleton confesses to the Elephant, “I stabbed a man in the back” (Koh and Helms). Koh and Helms visually represent the idiom to depict the Skeleton’s admission in a literal and humorous way. However, in The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton incorporates idioms in a figurative way to show a serious tone. Ponyboy wishes that his brothers would come to the movies with him, but films, “bore Darry to death” (Hinton 3). By using this figurative idiom, Hinton demonstrates that Darry finds this type of entertainment boring. To conclude, S.E. Hinton uses idioms in a figurative way to show a serious tone in The Outsiders, while Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms depict idioms in a humorous and literal way in their video.

Idioms Comparison
Idioms are words and phrases that have both figurative and literal meanings. In the Idioms video the skeleton addressed the elephant with confessions like, “ I stabbed a guy in the back” (Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms). The Figurative meaning of the idiom means to betray someone, and deceive them. The literal meaning of the idiom is that someone actually murdered and stabbed someone in the back. However in “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton, Hinton used an idiom to describe how Johnny is treated, and how his personality is used to earn his comical title in the gang. In the book Ponyboy describes Johnny by saying, “Dally had turned around and belted him so hard it knocked a tooth loose. A complete stranger, too. But Johnny was the gang’s pet, and Dally just couldn't hit him” (S.E Hinton 24-25). The figurative meaning of the quote was that Johnny was loyal and did whatever the gang wanted him to like a pet is humble, and loyal to it’s master. The literal meaning of the phrase was that Johnny was actually the gang’s pet, meaning that he was the type of pet that had a collar, and a bowl of food, and water. The Idioms used in the video were more original, and funny, as suppose to the idioms in the novel which were more serious, and meant to be used in a more sophisticated manner. To conclude, both S.E Hinton, Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms use idioms in their work.

Idiom CER

In the Idiom video by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms used the literal type of idioms to express something, and in the novel The Outsiders, S.E Hinton uses figurative idioms to show something is not funny it’s serious. In the video the skeleton was trying to look for a compliment and said, “ I’m fishing for compliments,”(Koh and Helms). The video’s unique purpose is to make you laugh. These idioms are to make something funny. This supports it because in the video it was the skeleton actually fishing. On the other hand, in the novel, Ponyboy says “ Johnny was scared of his own shadow”(Hinton 4). This is trying to be serious because Johnny was banged up bad and was scared it was going to happen again .  All in all, the video by Mollie Helms and Amanda Koh tells us that you can use any tone in uses different types of idioms, figurative and literal.

Outsider VS Video
The Idioms in the video are more literal, as the ones in book The Outsiders by  S.E. Hinton are more figurative. For example, when the elephant wants the truth he "spills the beans"(Koh). The elephant takes a can of beans, turns it over, and spills it. On the other hand, in The Outsiders Pony boy says "Johnny was scared of his own shadow,"(Hinton 4). Johnny was banged up badly by some socs', so now he is very easily frightened. In conclusion, the video and The Outsiders use idioms in different ways.

P.S.; I had to use quotation marks as i couldn't italicize on this.

"Johnny was afraid of his own shadow"(Hinton 4)
