and characters consulted the oracles to learn about the future. For example‚ Cato cited the Stoic principles when he refused to consult an oracle. When Pompey died‚ his death was described using Stoic’s theory that his spirit passed into a region between the atmosphere and heaven‚ waiting for the day of conflagration (Ridley).

Unlike the novel‚ where the author Junichiro Tanizaki takes his time to vividly express events‚ the film has a relatively shorter span to fit the same plot. However‚ it is the film whose scene seems to better capture the emotions of the audience. The plot is

To Kill a Mockingbird: The Differences Between The Movie and The Book "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

Although I enjoyed the book and movie‚ there are some noticeable differences seen between each. It was actually one of the best books I’ve ever read. This year‚ a movie was made on the story. The story follows Jonas who gets all these memories‚ and he realizes all the dark and deadly truths about the communities secret past. The movie sort of focuses more on the romantic aspect of the story; the love between Rosemary and Jonas. The book does more to capture the unconditional love Jonas had for Gabe

I believe that the movie version of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird follows the book very well. Compared to the amount of similarities‚ the differences are almost negligible. When reading To Kill a Mockingbird‚ one can be fascinated by the differences and similarities between the movie and the book in the portrayal of characters‚ the layout of Maycomb‚ and the character outcomes. For me‚ the characters were just as I imagined them. For example‚ Dill fits his description perfectly
