I think these differences make the book and the movie way both interesting. I think the differences are good because it sums it all up and with hearing both the book and the movie it fills in the blank questions in your
In my opinion there are a lot of comparisons between the film and the book, but there are also differences between them too, but also they have impacted the audience in both the film and the
During the 1960's, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee was a best seller almost immediately after it was published. To Kill a Mockingbird was a book about prejudice and segregation. When the book was made into the movie the creators couldn't fit all the details in the movie leading to some similarities and differences. To Kill a Mockingbird was filled with a lot of details and information. Therefore, the movie left out some important factors.
Although the book and movie are very similar, they also have many differences.
Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If” develops a theme exploring integrity and maturity while Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird establishes the same theme. The ideas expressed in the poem parallels Lee’s development of one of her main characters, Atticus Finch. Atticus advances his leadership, courage, and remaining true to himself throughout the progression of To Kill a Mockingbird.
In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there are many similarities between the narrator, Scout, and the author, Harper Lee. For instance, both grew up in the time of the great depression with little money to do extra things; therefore, they relied on their imaginations to entertain them for hours (Haggerty) . Comparatively, both were tomboys in their youths and grew up in small towns where girls were expected to wear dresses and act like a lady. Also, both Harper Lee and Scout both grew up with their fathers being lawyers for their town and would often hear of cases that they worked on (“Harper Lee”) . Similarly, when writing her book a “mad dog warning” was released, no doubt giving the idea for the episode of the mad dog Tim Robinson.
One comparison between the movie and book version is the darkness of the setting and the time in which it takes place. In both versions, the story takes place mostly at night, which is when all the action happens. The book also characterizes the setting as dark and the movie shows the darkness. The book and movie versions of
Atticus Finch is quoted “You never understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb in his skin and and walk around in it.” This quote from the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee supports the idea of truly getting to know a person to understand what they go through. Although the film and novel can compare, many aspects prove to show they also contrast. Not only do events contrasts but the ways the universal truths are supported compare and contrast from the novel and film. The themes that one does not truly know another person until they are in their shoes and that power is no blessing itselfs except when it is used to protect innocence are both fully supported in both the film and novel
In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Tom Robinson and Arthur “Boo” Radley are two characters who represent the mockingbird. In the midst of finding who Boo truly is, Atticus Finch explains to his children, Jem and Scout, that it is a sin to kill the bird because they don’t do anything but make music. As the story progresses, and the two “mockingbirds” are being accused and attacked both verbally and physically, the identity of the mockingbirds surfaces. Tom Robinson was a crippled African American man whose left arm was a foot shorter than his right, where it was caught in a cotton gin.
Review: In the movie there are many differences some that affect the perception of the topic that is underlined in the book. Such as when Jem, Scout and Dill snuck onto the Radleys lawn and porch, but got scared and tried escaping and Jem's pants got stuck in the book Mr Radley shot his gun to scare them off initially which made them run and Jem when back when it was dark out to retrieve his pants but, in the movie when Jem’s pants got stuck he got home with scout and ran back
It leaves out many parts from the book that involved Boo. The film focuses more on Scout's perspective. It concentrates on Scout's journey and loss of innocence.

Introduction: “Perspective gives us the ability to accurately contrast the large with the small, and the important with the less important. Without it we are lost in a world where all ideas, news, and information look the same. We cannot differentiate, we cannot prioritize, and we cannot make good choices…” This is a quote recited by John Sununu. In books, we must be able to compare and contrast the difference between one sequence from the other; from one context to the next.
Scout is a more complex character in the book, Mrs. Dubose has a bigger impact of the story in the book, and Bob Ewell is more angry and aggressive in the book. Scout is very intelligent and inquisitive. She always wants answers even when it is impossible to find an answer. In my opinion, Scout was more complex in the book. There were more scenes in the book where she was seen to be angry and aggressive.
The way the people and the town influence Jem and Scout make the characters more realistic and the overall story much more interesting. To Kill a Mockingbird is an exceptional novel that conveys many positive messages throughout. In her novel, Lee creates honest and relatable characters that take the reader on a journey through life in the south during the Great Depression. Readers are impressed by Lee’s eloquent writing and amazing characters, all of which make To
