Differences Between To Kill A Mockingbird Book And Movie

“To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, is an inspiring and amazing book. When you are reading the book, it is very easy to imagine what is happening. But, when you watch the movie, it is a little bit sad. It is emotionally sad, making you upset, not because of what is happening, but because it is so different. The book “To Kill a Mockingbird” is better than the movie, because the order is different, and the book included more characters and details.

The classic To Kill a Mockingbird has many differences from its movie. These changes touch on many themes of the book such as prejudice. Even though the book is fairly different from the movie, the movie can still impact the watcher greatly today. The movie might be missing some parts, but the main idea is still

There are usually differences in two different versions of something. This can often be seen when a book is made into a movie. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie versions of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

As most everyone knows, there are differences between a book and it’s movie adaptation. This is applicable to the book and it’s movie counterpart To Kill a Mockingbird, as well. But aside from the differences, there are also similarities between these two.

One character that was missing from the movie that played an important role was Aunt Alexandra. First of all by having Aunt Alexandra in the film the reader doesn't see the feminine side to Scout instead only Scout's tomboy side is portrayed. Also, not having Aunt Alexandra around means there is no one to challenge Atticus's authority. Without Aunt Alexandra, Miss Stephanie is also left out. Seeing how Jem and Scout act around another family member is impossible when the directors' cut Aunt Alexandra out of the movie. Showing how the children act around another family member could show different sides of their personalities. A good explanation for leaving Aunt Alexandra out could be that the movie would have just been too long with too many extra parts that may have not been necessary. Rachael Haverford, the Finches' next door neighbor, was another character deleted from the book, Dill was not living with .The movie and the book have differences in the overall way the characters appear. For instance, Jem isn't nearly as physically fit in the movie as he is described in the book. Also in the book Scout is the main character and in the movie Scout doesn't really know what's going on. All of the scenes in the movie that present Scout as anything more than the narrator were cut out. In the book, Scout is more of a girl caught in the middle of Atticus and Alexandria. She acts a lot like Alexandria although she doesn't know it.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic book by Harper Lee published in 1960. The book is about a child growing up in a racist community in Alabama and the challenges she faces. The story has received much popularity, and has since then been made into a movie. Although the book and the movie follow the same general plot, there are many differences in them affecting the development of the main character, Scout.

In the book, Scout finds a series of items in a tree right outside the Radley house. The first item Scout finds is a piece of chewing gum. Then a list of a few more items before Author covers the whole with cement. In the movie, Author covers the whole too early, before Scout and Jem find the rest of the items. Also in the movie, they don’t find gum; they find two small little statues. This is another thing that

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a beloved novel published in 1960. After reading the novel there were some moments and people that I found particularly enjoyable. My favorite part of the novel was when the children went to Boo Radley's house to try to get a look at him. In addition, Atticus Finch was my favorite character in the novel. In my opinion the book was very good. I felt that it really showed the thoughts and actions, both good and bad, of the people in the South during the time of the Great Depression. At some points it was sad and at others it was comical but overall it conveyed the message that it was trying to send and everyone could learn something from it.

Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different. In the book you delve more into the separate characters while in the film you see the relationships in action. The book gives you a broader view of everything, but at the same time the movie points out everything that seems important. Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on.

To Kill a Mockingbird book and movie portrays the same purpose which is the discrimination against the black community and Tom Robinson through the eyes of Harper lee as a young child. Also, it had many differences. First difference that I noticed was the burning of Miss. Maudie’s house in the book and not in the movie, the presence of Aunt Alexandra in the book and not in the movie, and also the role of Mrs. Dubose.

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird was a very popular book and still is today. There many movies and many interviews about this book. However, the movies do not properly portray the book. In many movies, important scenes are taken away, some scenes are hardly even mentioned. One of theses scenes was when Calpurnia takes Jem and Scout to her church.

To Kill a Mockingbird, according to many people, is the best American novel of all time. This story tells the story of the young Scout and Jem Finch, and his father Atticus, as they go through the ordeals to live in a small town in Alabama. In 1962, when the film version of this novel came out, we could see that they had many similarities and differences, like all the books turned into movies. In this essay I will explain the similarities and the differences between the two. To compare the film with the novel, we will first examine the similarities.

In the movie, as well as the book, there are multiple times where the rhetorical strategy logos is used. An example of one of them is when Atticus says, “The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence to the effect that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place.” I know it is logos because it is a fact that the state hasn’t given any medical evidence to prove that Tom is guilty of the crime he is being charged for. Atticus is using this fact to try to persuade some people with logic that it wasn’t Tom who did anything to Mayella. I think that this part was better in the movie because the actor who played as Atticus made it more dramatic which made the whole situation more effective and serious.

The To Kill A Mockingbird movie cut down a twelve-hour book into a two-hour ten-minute movie. They did this by removing many scenes that were important to the main plot. To Kill A Mockingbird is about two kids names name Scout and Jem who become aware of the prejudice throughout Maycomb as well as realizing their neighbor, Boo Radley, is not who he seems to be. Atticus, Scout and Jem’s father, teaches his children many important lessons such as, the importance of perspective; being courageous when faced with adversity; why harming innocent human beings is wrong, and how to make the morally correct choices during difficult times. The summary is the same for both the book and the movie, however, the movie leaves out

When a book is taken in by a movie company to be turned into a movie, some things are going to change or get cut out so that it meets certain requirements. The novel To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee is certainly not an exception. When Universal Productions chose to make the popular novel into a movie, the director and screenwriters had to make some important choices as to what they kept in and what they didn’t. There are many differences when you compare the two versions of To Kill a Mockingbird, but some that stood out are; the narrator of the movie is an Adult Scout looking back, the school appeared to be nicer in the movie, Aunt Alexandra isn’t mentioned in the movie at all, Scout isn’t shown when she is in class and there is more than one focus character. No movie is exactly like the book whether it be because of budget or time limit, and sometimes it can change the entire tone of the film.
