In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee the main character, Scout and her brother Jem fight prejudice through a young person perspective. The main characters go on a journey against Bob Ewell throughout the sleepy town of Maycomb, at the 1930’s. Bob Ewell has falsely accused Tom Robinson of a crime. On the process the characters grow a lot and find things that spark their curiosity. This makes an interesting plot with many turns. The movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, has many differences from its book, many plots and characters are missing which greatly impacts the movie directed by Robert Mulligan.

The Watsons go to Birmingham was an amazing book and movie, but I personally think that the novel was better. The novel is better because it has more character depth, it shows theme better, and you can get your own understanding. The movie lacked many things including character depth.

It is also pitch black dark because there were no lights, and the Watson’s were a little bit scared. When they finally arrive in Birmingham they go to meet their Grandma Sands and that is where they will stay while they are in Alabama. One day Kenny decides to go swimming because it is so hot but he ignores the signs and his Grandma’s warning not to swim in the Collier Lake because of whirlpools. Kenny thinks the signs were put up just to not allow anyone to use the lake. This is a tactic that was used during the Civil Rights Movement by some people. But, the signs were real, Kenny did get in a whirlpool, but was saved by his brother Bryon. One Sunday Kenny sees his little sister, Joey getting ready for Sunday school. He was in the backyard dozing off when he heard a noise and heard his mother scream. Then Kenny hears a neighbor shout that Joeys church had been bombed. Thankfully Joey was didn’t get hurt, because she had went outside, before the church was bombed because it was too hot for her. Although this church bombing was fictional there were many bombing of churches in the south during the

I will analyze my subject (The Watsons Go to Birmingham) from the perspective of: race.

One way that the book differs from the movie is in the plot events. Byron throws a Swedish Creme at a dove, which kills it. This makes Byron remorse, which is something that Byron never does. There is also another difference between the characters. Kenny meets a new kid on the bus named Rufus and his little brother, Cody who recently moved from Arkansas. The two quickly become friends, and Rufus even comes over to Kenny’s house everyday. This shows that the book has many differences to the movie The Watsons Go To

There are other significant similarities between the movie and the book, so if I overlooked or forgot any extremely crucial points, forgive me.

Next, the differences in the book from the movie is that the book has LJ, Cody, and Rufus, while the movie doesn’t. Also, Mama talks more southern in the movie, while she doesn’t as much in the book. Then, in the movie, they introduce people that are not in

There are similarities and differences between the play “The Watsons Go to Birmingham” and the passage “Don’t Give Up The Fight”. Both the play and the passage have the similar theme of being different. Although, they both show the common theme of being different, the character’s have different attitudes. They contrast the theme differently in “The Watsons Go to Birmingham” it is showing Kenny and his family’s attitudes to be sad, and in the passage “Don’t Give Up The Fight” Ava’s attitude is being determined and showing perseverance.

Even though the book and movie have many differences they also have many thing alike. Some ways the book and movie are the same are they both have the same characters and the Curtis brothers parents died. Another way they are alike is when Darry hits Ponyboy and Ponyboy and Johnny run to the park and Johnny kills

Regardless of all these similarities, there were also very noticeable differences. One of these would be the newly-introduced cousins of the family. In the book, these characters were never mentioned, which could prove confusing at first if you didn't remember much from it. Not only did they add them, but they showed much more segregation-related issues that many people of color would have faced in the south as well; also included in the film.

The setting of the novel The Watsons Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis takes place in Flint, Michigan, during winter in 1963. The year is listed in the title of the book so it is clear that it was at this time. There is a point in the story where Kenny plays dinosaur war with his friends. He is playing American’s verses Nazi’s and they have an atomic bomb and radiation. In my opinion, this doesn’t really help much to establish the time in the novel because the Nazi’s were defeated in 1945 and the atomic bomb was also dropped in 1945. However, this story takes place in 1963 which is eighteen years later. The Korean war was in 1950 so it might have made sense that they would have been fighting Koreans. However, it only narrows

The Giver by Lois Lowry is a story about a utopian society that turns out to be a dystopia. The story was so clever that it was made into a book and a movie. Many events and even key features are very different between the two. One difference between the book and the movie is that although the concept is the same in both, some of the main motifs are different. The most important example is friendship.

The similarities were all over the movie. I think they did a great job turning the book into the movie and were pretty spot on. They had the same setting as the book, which is based in a fantasy world. I also think that the characters had the same kind of personalities in the book and in the movie. Also, the main

These similarities were very important in the message that they gave either the reader or viewer. Additionally, the characters maintained the same qualities that they had in the novel.
