It is believed, that there are many pieces to the story of To Kill a Mocking Bird left out of the film version of the novel. I agree with this statement, and I am here today to show you four select scenes and/or characters that (in my opinion) were significant to the story. To Kill a Mocking Bird is a coming of age story for two young children, as well as a story that shows that people are not always what they seem to be. The scenes that I have chosen are very important role in supporting to these themes.

Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird was published in the year of 1960, and is one of the few American classic novels awarded the Pulitzer Prize. The racism that is prevalent in many southern American towns in the 1930s is brought to life with profound imagery in To Kill a Mockingbird. There are several characters in the book, yet the true main character is the narrator's father, Atticus Finch. He is a man of great integrity and intelligence. A very heroic figure in more ways than one, Atticus possesses traits like being principled, determined, and, more importantly, he teaches others. When looking at To Kill a Mockingbird, one can see that Lee uses lots of description, dialogue, and actions to portray Atticus as a heroic individual.

"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.

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.

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 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.

To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee is a beautiful story depicting a family living in the South of the 1930’s, and their struggle against the prejudice which was common to that time.

By viewing events as Scout sees them, the author shows us how to overcome prejudices, and gain tolerance.

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.

Life is full of lessons, the movie version of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not! Harper Lee entwines these life lessons throughout her novel; however, the movie version fails to incorporate these lessons into its plot. Thus, the movie version must be deemed incomplete, as it is most certain that there are many important lessons that Jem and Scout learn throughout the novel. A few key characters who taught these lessons to the children and who will be the subject of this essay are Ms.Dubose and the morals learnt from her successful fight against morphine addiction, the role of Aunt Alexandra in front of Scout as a female role model and lastly Mr.Dolphus Raymond’s preferred associations

Harper Lee 's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, has remained enormously popular since its publication in 1960. Recalling her experiences as a six-year-old from an adult perspective, Jean Louise Finch describes the circumstances involving her father, Atticus, and his legal defense of Tom Robinson, a local black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. In the three years surrounding the trial, Scout and her older brother, Jem, witness the unjust consequences of prejudice and hate while also witnessing the values of courage and integrity through Atticus’ example. Additionally, the film of To Kill a Mockingbird lacks many details that the book contains, however, they both share the same morals and portray the same basic storyline. Lee incorporates Scout and Jem’s visit to Calpurnia’s church to provide background information on the black community and to communicate her attitude toward the racial discrimination of African Americans and whites in the 1930’s. Additionally, Aunt Alexandra is a character foil of Atticus and therefore, Lee includes Aunt Alexandra to develop the character and of Atticus.

As stated by Stephen King, “Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different.” What Stephen King says can also relate to both the movie and book of To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, in which both tell very similar stories, but are different in their own ways, such as how the movie is alters from the original book. The movie’s choices of altering the original story improved the story line because then the movie is able to eliminate the off topic scenes of the book, such as the introduction of Aunt Alexandra, and also turn the spotlight onto both Scout and Jem, instead of just Scout being the only main character.

The last few days, I saw the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird. It is a well played movie based off the award winning book written by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird.

The film and the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee displays the harsh reality for blacks in the early 1930’s. Scout Finch, a girl from Alabama narrates the novel. During this time is the great depression where segregation and racism is not uncommon amongst whites and blacks. The novel was such a success for its eye opening storyline that it was later turned into a film directed by Robert Mulligan. Although the film and the novel have many similarities, two scenes made a huge difference. One, being that Mrs.Dubose was not included in the film as she was in the book. The second scene that should have been in the film was when Calpurnia phoned the white people instead of knocking on the front door.
