To Kill A Mockingbird Book And Movie Analysis

Thesis Statement: “To Kill a Mockingbird,” has many things that are different from the story’s plot which in the book shows that Atticus is frowned upon for accepting the case of Tom Robinson’s while the film shows otherwise, to the characters in the book showing more characters and the film having characters who played multiple roles, and the theme which shows why it is a sin “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

For my paper I have chosen to analyze the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird.” This movie is based on the novel – by the same name – written by Harper Lee. The story has two major plotlines. One follows Jem, Scout, and Dill as they try to uncover the secretes behind the infamous “Boo” Radley. It’s only at the end of the movie that we learn “Boo’s” real name to be Arthur, and that we discover he actually tries to protect people, as he saved Jem and Scout’s lives. The other major plotline, and the one more relevant to this class, follows Atticus Finch, Jem and Scout’s father, as he tries to represent Tom Robinson. Mr. Robinson is an African American man who has been charged with raping Mayella Ewell. The movie then follows both the trial and the

“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

"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird," explains Atticus Finch to his children (To Kill Dir. Robert Mulligan). Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is better than one another, just different. "It's no secret that adapting a novel to film can be a perilous affair. A movie, even when it's good, doesn't often convey the feeling of the book it's based on. But in this case screenwriter Horton Foote treated the Harper Lee novel - about a Depression-era Alabama lawyer and his two children - with love and respect, and the director successfully evoked the

To Kill A Mockingbird took place in the 1930’s, a time that was enormously charged with racial tension. One example of this is the existence of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Even though the KKK was in a time of decline in the 1930’s, it had been very prominent in the 1920’s and had still not completely died out. The KKK had rallies and

There are colossal amounts of people that have read the iconic story, To Kill a Mockingbird. The book digs deep into the story and its deep dark issues, while the movie shows more of the surface. It is a question whether or not the movie made a larger and better impact on the people. The setting of To Kill a Mockingbird is located in Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930’s. During this time, prejudice and racial segregation was coming to an end, but in Maycomb these stereotypes still existed and made an effect on many individuals. Scout, a six-year-old girl, witnesses these terrible times. She is narrating this story even with the visual of a young child; at this age she doesn’t understand the meaning of all

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.

To kill a mockingbird book is a story you should never read. It takes a long time to get to the middle, the climax of the story. It also has unnecessary characters that should have been in the story only at the beginning or not in the book at all. Lastly, it tells the unnecessary characters story than telling us more about what happened to Tom Robinson, Atticus Finch, Jem, and Scout relationship and also about how blacks and whites are not treated equally.

The film and novel of To Kill a Mockingbird complement each other in many ways due to their similarities, but the book can accomplish things that the movie can’t due to it’s ability to tell. The book is written in a narrated voice, making it hard to tell the entire story through a film. The thoughts and feelings of the characters can’t always be felt and understanded through a film because of its limited time allotted, but through a book you are able to know and interpret everything. There are missing parts of the plot, along with many other differences of the story because of this. While the book is very similar to the movie and vis versa, there are many differences.

Throughout the movie there are a lot of issues that come up with both the movie and the book telling it in different ways, as the book may leave something out as well as the movie they are both two different things. Jem and scout are both very fascinated by Boo Radley. There are a lot of things different from the book and the movie, here are some things for the movie that are different from the book. First Jem did not have to read daily to Mrs. Dubose rather than the book she had to since she was reading at home when she shouldn’t have been second, Dill is Miss Stephanie Crawford’s son but in the

Quite often, people forget about what they read as soon as they finish reading it. However, when a book has a strong, important, and impactful ending, the character and lessons stay with them. Arthur Radley is a symbol of goodness, yet is treated as a premature Tom Robinson. A villain who strongly embodies the idea of racism and hatred is Bob Ewell, who suffers a truly ironic fate. By speaking his wise words, Atticus accomplishes the author's purpose and concludes the novel sufficiently. Harper Lee’s novel ends well because Arthur Radley and Bob Ewell show how good always triumphs over evil, while Atticus Finch remind readers that goodness resides in nearly everyone,

When a books are made into movies, they can be similar and they can be different. There are generally differences between two different versions of something. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie version of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

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.

The movie and book versions of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee have many similarities. The story line is the same. Jem and Scout tried to make Boo Radley come out, Dill came for the summers, and Tom Robinson's case happened. If Jem and Scout had not tried to make Boo Radley come out, then Boo would not be in the story as much. In fact, he may not have saved the children because he may not have cared for or would not be interested in them as much as he was/did. If Dill did not come in the summers, then hee would not be a part of the story. His character would not exist. Which would change the story because Jem and him would always do things together. That would take more away from the original story. Tom Robinson’s case was a very important part of To Kill A Mockingbird. If it had not happened, most of the story’s conflict and the story itself would not have happened.
