How would I close this Modal by outside the Modal popup and also the close button?

Here's the code:

<html>

  <head>
    <title>JavaScript &amp; jQuery - Chapter 11: Content Panels - Modal Window</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/base.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/modal-window.css">
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="{{assetURL}}/js/modal.js"></script>
 </head>

  <style>

                .modal {
                  position: absolute;
                  z-index: 1000;
                  padding: 50px;
                  background-color: #555;}

                .modal-close {
                  cursor: pointer;}

                #window {
                  background: #fff;
                  text-align: center;}

                .social {
                  color: #858585;}

                section img {
                  display: block;
                  margin: 0 auto;}

                #share {
                  position: absolute;
                  top: 10px;
                  left: 10px;}

                #share-options {
                  background-color: #fff;
                  text-align: center;
                  clear: both;
                  padding: 15px;
                  border: 10px solid #e2e2e2;}

                #message {
                  display: inline-block;
                  margin: 15px 0 15px 0;} 

                #links a {
                  display: inline-block;

                #window a {
                  margin: 3px;}

                button.modal-close {
