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.

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.

The novel To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee and film 12 Angry Men directed by Sidney Lumet, both touch on similar themes of justice and prejudice. When contrasting the two texts it is evident that there are many foils which display their own strong personal characteristics yet keep those themes at the core of their character. Generally, influence is a result of conformity, when people begin to make change in their actions and heart, others follow suit to feel included. This is the case in the texts, individuals manage to convince groups of people by creating a norm to be followed. It is more so a case of influencing individuals who in turn convince others. This is because people like to feel included, and not as though they are outcasts.

Their are many similarities and differences between the novel and the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different.

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 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.

There have been many great books written throughout time. Some of these books are very similar and some of them are very different. Two great books are I Know why the Caged Bird Sings and To Kill a Mockingbird. The setting and the narrator of the books are very different. These books are more different than similar.

The book was a lot diffrent then the movie I did not really like the book or the movie but in the movie the girl was a bird keeper and she had to deliver birds to this guy but in the book she did not have to do that she had already lived on the farm and in the book she went acrossed the water and got attacked by the bird and they did not really do anything but in the book she was a home and she went out to feed her chickens and got attacked by a bird in the movie she did not really do anything about that bird and so that night she went to go eat supper with that guy’s family and the next day the guys mom in the movie had to go over to the farmers and ranchers house to go buy eggs from him and there was a young adualt outside working on a tractor

A story in two different formats Everyone has their favorite books like To Kill a Mockingbird or The Notebook, and when a book generates a fan base, it can become popular enough to become a film. This first happened in 1899, when the Brothers Grimm story, Cinderella was first adapted into a short film making history, and setting the trend for adapting fan-favorite books into movies. Books and movies can tell the same story, but at the same time can tell the same story in an entire different way. This is extremely prevalent when comparing the Green Mile: The Complete and Serial Novel and the movie.

A significant difference is that in the book the point of view is from Scout in the book which allows the reader to see deeper into her personality and character growth unlike in the movie. Such as when she's standing on Mr. Arthur's porch and sees things from his point of view “Summertime, and his children played … enacting a strange little drama of their own invention... Atticus was right...he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them” which didn’t happen in the movie.

The film of To Kill a Mockingbird did provide a story that delivered the same message as the novel. The film had similar events and many of the same characters. In both the book and movie, Jem and Scout are fascinated by Boo Radley. As well as, Atticus shooting the mad dog, the lynch mob, Tom Robinson’s trial, and the recurring theme of family.
