To Kill A Mockingbird Movie Vs Book Report
Personally if I read a book first and then watch the movie, the movie never lives up to the book. With this book To kill a Mockingbird I liked it better than the movie. The movie left out things I found very important in the book, along with other minor details.
One thing the movie changed and left out was the way Jem and Scout got their gifts from Boo Radley. In the book Scout is the one who finds the first gift from Boo in the old oak tree in front of the Radley house. The first thing she finds is two pieces of bubblegum. The next day Scout is walking home with Jem, and they see a ring box holding two indian head pennies from 1900 and 1906, indian head pennies are considered to be good luck. The two of them found many other treasures in that old oak tree, such as a gray ball of twine, two images carved into …show more content…
Maudie's house burned down which I found fairly important. In the book her house burned down because she was trying to keep her home warm during the night because they were experiencing a fairly harsh winter for them. Their winter consisted of snow for the first time in several years. Which Mr. Avery blames on the children by saying “When children disobeyed their parents… the season would change in Maycomb County” (Lee Chapter 8). If it wasn’t for the fire Boo never would’ve left his house to cover Scout with a blanket. Even though the kids didn’t get to see Boo I think this an important part of the book because he does leave the house. In fact their isn’t any snow in Maycomb county during the movie which would have caused people to heat their homes and Mrs. Maudie's house to burn down.
A minor thing that was changed was Mrs. Maudie was the first person to tell the kids that it's a sin to kill a mockingbird, in the movie they change it to where Atticus tells them. The kids also never get guns for christmas which in the book is why Mrs. Maudie told them to shoot bluejays all they wanted and not
