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

One of the major themes of the Book of John is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God.

Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” was no exception to this unspoken rule. Although the film excelled in accurately depicting most of the novel’s content‚ there were some omitted details that could have improved the movie’s interpretation of the novel. One of the most obvious differences between the film and the novel would be

“The Monkey’s Paw” “The Monkey’s Paw” is a short story written W. W. Jacobs‚ following the short story it has a short film. I preferred the short story because I thought it was written and expressed a lot better than the film. I didn’t care for the actors and setting in the film‚ I pictured it differently when I read it.

There are many reasons why I personally have enjoyed the film more than the novel. I believe that there is a lot of small details in the film that makes it that much better. An example would include when prim tucks in her shirt after she is called up on stage. Nowhere in the novel did the author give this small but powerful detail. Another example would include at the start of the film when it gave us an explanation of the reaping and what it stood for. We did get this information in the novel‚ but
