I like the book more than the movie. Audience reaction has to be taken into consideration in a way that books don’t have to.

In the book and movie of To Kill a Mockingbird‚ the lesson of keeping one’s head held high is experienced differently. The lesson is openly stated in both the novel and the movie.

The whole beauty pageant thing is something that I do not understand that much about.

It does not represent what a young child really looks like. I am also upset with the
