To Kill A Mockingbird Book Vs Movie

To Kill a Mockingbird was about two little children in Maycomb, Alabama who had to face the harsh realities of racism and sexism. Scout Finch, Atticus Finch’s daughter is a naive little girl who matures throughout the book with the help of her father and her older brother Jem. Throughout the book, Atticus takes a case to defend a black man named Tom Robinson, who was accused of raping Mayella Ewell who is a white girl. During the trial, Jem and Scout realize that this is wrong and everyone deserves to be treated equal. The movie for this book was directed decently, but the director could have done better.

They can see that Scout has changed in the movie, but it’s not the same because the director leaves out scenes where Atticus tells Scout many words of wisdom. The director also left out the part where the audience could see Jem’s character development. Jem was also very childish like Scout, because he insisted on playing the “Radley Game”, which the director also cut out of the movie. In the book there was a part where Dill ran away from home without telling his mom and he tells Jem not to tell anybody, but right away, Jem goes to Atticus and tells him. If Jem was younger, then maybe he wouldn’t have told Atticus right away, but in the book we can see Jem’s character development rising. The director cuts out this whole entire scene which makes the movie only about the trial and very
