Eventually‚ both texts share similar endings

    To Kill A Mocking Bird A Comparison of The Novel and The Film There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout‚ Jem‚ Miss Maudie‚ and Dill‚ since no description of their faces is given in the book. Also‚ the film has some genuinely hilarious moments‚ particularly the scene where Scout is dressed as a ham and walking through the forest. Another good point is that the acting was superb and a treat to watch. Gregory Peck‚
