The movie was much more detailed than the book, therefore making the movie better. In the movie all the characters spoke and had lines. But, in the book the characters barely even spoke.

The movie showed the problems of racism and women equal rights. These reasons are valid because of my logic and evidence in the paragraph above. Overall, I liked the movie better than
