Harper Lee's Novel To Kill a Mockingbird and Robert Mulligans film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird have many similarities and differences in the eyes of many book lovers. The trial was a crucial scene in the movie that displayed strong, well-devised, and included many exceptional actors. On the contrary, some important moments, people, and lessons in the book were removed from the movie that created a different meaning to the whole story. Calpurnia and Dolphus Raymond were two main characters in the novel that taught valuable lessons to not only Jem and Scout, but to readers across the world. These characters should have been more integrated in the movie to build a stronger more meaningful plot.

After reading and watching the book and movie of to kill a mockingbird I have noticed many differences between them. Although the movie is about the book there are many parts that were either changed or not put in. These changes may not affect the main storyline, but it can affect the readers of the book.

Tom Robinson being symbolized as a Mockingbird is a similarity between the book and the movie. A mockingbird is a bird that sings and brings joy, but they get killed for no reason. Tom Robinson had no chance as a black man in a prejudiced town, he wasn’t listened to and they didn't even consider what he was saying. Tom was unfortunately killed trying to escape, they shot him 17 times. Just like a mockingbird, he was innocent and killed because he was just trying to stay alive because he was innocent.

Harper Lee's classic American novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" has entertained readers for decades. The story is a coming-of-age story set in the deep South during the 1930s, dealing with issues of race, justice, and morality. While the novel has been adapted into a film, the two formats have significant differences. I argue in this essay that the novel is more genuine than the film version. Therefore, the novel provides a more genuine portrayal of the story's characters, themes, and message by analyzing textual evidence from the novel.
In To Kill A Mockingbird, the lesson of Atticus showing Scout that lying is alright sometimes is better shown in the novel rather, than the movie. The novel does a better job at executing the lesson because, the book allows for the reader to get on a personal level with the decisions that Atticus is making. Atticus is talking to Mr.Tate of the porch and says “Heck, If this thing’s hushed up it’ll be a simple denial to Jem of the way I’ve tried to raise him”(Lee 272). This is just a small excerpt from the books long conversation. The movie only allows the viewer to watch what is happening, while not as thorough.

“To see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand”. It's when you know you’ve been licked before you being but you begin anyways”(Lee 149).The book To Kill a Mockingbird by the author Harper Lee teaches readers of all ages important lesson of morality through the experiences of the two main characters of Jem and Scout with the help of some other characters like their father who is a scrupulous man who is named Atticus. Who defends a man named Tom Robinson,who is accused of raping the daughter of a very vociferous and ill-tempered man named Bob Ewell and Tom Robinson is given a trial that was a total sham as soon as the trials over the people sanctioned him to death for a crime that he did not commit.

This shows great improvement to Scout’s character development. Beforehand, Scout didn’t give any thought to someone else’s perspective, but now, as she learns empathy, she allows herself to see a situation from another ’s point of view.
