Compare And Contrast To Kill A Mockingbird Book And Movie
I think that the film version is more convincing. I think this because in the film you can see the reactions and their emotions and I think this is a big part in telling if someone is lying or is telling the truth. Some thing are different than in the book. In the book you never get to see the characters but in the film you see all the characters. The film version puts everything in a little bit more detail the book doesn't really do a good job in narrating the emotions and the intensity of the people in the courtroom. Atticus states in the book the ‘’Tom Robinson's left arm has never had use so how cold he have hit her on the right side of the face’’, but In the film version he asked Tom to catch a glass with his left arm and Tom tells the

    In most cases when there are two versions of something we can find differences and similarities, such as when a book is made into a movie. An example of this is the book To Kill A Mockingbird which was made into a movie, these two versions are very different but portray the same story. The movie does a good job in presenting the main points of the book but overall the film and the novel are dissimilar more than they are alike. The three main differences are the alterations of major scenes, the absence of characters and the lack of details illustrated in the book.…

    When Harper Lee was writing about the trial of Tom Robinson in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” she had a very real case to look to for inspiration. The trial of the Scottsboro Boys was a world renowned case in the 1930’s in which nine black youths were accused of raping to white girls in Alabama. Lee’s novel took this case and created the fictional case of Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a lower class white girl in a small town in Alabama during the Depression-era. The Scottsboro trials were the main source of inspiration for Lee’s novel, and although the circumstances of the novel differed from the real-life scandal, the similarities between the two cases are quite abundant.…

    These two ways were some of the many ways that I notice the book and the movie were different. Mrs. Dubose seemed to show Atticus’s side of punishment, but it does not really show Mrs. Dubose in the movie. Also with telling the book from Scout’s point of view compared to telling from Jem’s point of view in the movie. These were some of the biggest differences that was able to notice between the movie and the…

    One of the most obvious differences between the film and the novel would be the lack of stress for the importance of reading from Scout. For example, when Scout was angered towards Miss Caroline Fisher, because she was ordered to convey a negative message towards Atticus: to stop teaching her how to read. This occasion was…

    Most urban legends contain some form of humor or horror. They show a sign of caution or a lesson to be learned. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Boo Radley can be compared to a popular urban legend called Green Man. Boo Radley and the Green Man are both supposedly horrifying to look at. Both men only come out at night, and when they do, they roam the streets and creep on people. Because Boo Radley shares multiple similarities with The Green Man, he should be considered an urban legend.…

    The Ballad of Birmingham and To Kill a Mockingbird are two pieces of literature that deal with similar themes. In both of these pieces of writing two innocent people died because of the wrong doing of others. Both of these events leading to the death of two innocent people were not needed and could have been avoided if violence can be stopped especially toward people that cause no harm (mockingbirds). Both To Kill a Mockingbird and Ballad of Birmingham have very important lessons to be learned and contain unfortunate real life situations. In To Kill a Mockingbird Tom Robinson's death could have been avoided if Bob Ewell did not accuse him of raping his daughter, Mayella Ewell.…

    As most people have read the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, many have wondered, what contributes most to the story’s themes? Well, throughout the novel, there are three main literary elements that come into play. In the passage “‘It ain’t right, Atticus…”’(pg.284) to “I looked up, and his face was vehement”(pg.296), Harper Lee uses the literary element character, setting, and tone to develop the theme that recognizing perspectives contributes to coming of age. As many other themes in the novel, the theme will show a change in how Jem starts to view the world, and the major roles included in it, such as racism. But his perspective comes mostly from the kind of character he is.…

    “To kill a Mockingbird” was set in the 1930s and “The Help” was set in the 1960s. Both book and movie were bad and the black people were not treated right, but I am going to start with the mockingbird. The book “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was in Maycomb Alabama. It this time the white people had servants and maids, unfortunately the were not treated well. The maids of that household would cook clean and even take care of the white people's children. The white people at that time did not even take care of their own children the black maids were more of a motherly figure than the actual mom. At this time also Black people could not use the same bathrooms as the whites. In this book the maid is considered to be Calpurnia. Atticus the…

    Not every problem can be easily solved with a simple right or wrong solution, sometimes there are pros and cons to a decision that can affect a person both morally and ethically. Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird vividly expresses this concept as Lee embroils characters such as Scout, Atticus, and even Mayella Ewell into these types of situations. Each character is faced with a dilemma that affects their morality; decisions in which there are no win-win resolutions. They must each decide what is best for themselves. However, they must also try not to negatively affect those around them, whether it is simply explaining another’s circumstances, staying true to one’s heritage instead of pleasing society, defending a character that others view as a…
