Atticus has a son named Jem and a daughter named Scout, and Jem and Scout see the world in innocent eyes, as the story is narrated from Scout’s point of view. It is later that both Scout and Jem will find out that things are not as good as they seem and that many things are more different and difficult than what they know. There are different things that takes place between the film and the book that makes a difference to the readers of the book or watchers of the film. The book gives more vivid details at to everything that is taken place while somethings are not in the movie the books vivid details answers questions that the film cannot answer.

Growing up in social environments that are heavily influenced by class systems definitely impacts young peoples’ perspectives. This influence contributes to struggles Hazel from Watership Down, Scout from To kill a Mockingbird and Ellen from Ellen Foster, face, especially handling social order in a nondiscriminatory way. However, Hazel and Scout have family and friends who advise them, whereas Ellen has no one. Ellen Foster presents the most hopeful chance of the end of racism because she suffers and has no one to guide her, yet she remains strong and persistent in her efforts to become less prejudiced.

The story starts out in the rural Alabama town of Maycomb and focuses on the finch family. Atticus Finch,

Atticus is a lawyer who chooses to defend and black man, Tom Robinson, who has been accused of raping and beating a white woman. Atticus truly believes that Tom is innocent but he finds it very difficult to convince the town of Maycomb of this. Tom is

The movie is fantastic, the acting is magnificent, and the creator has very good parallels, but the most important problem is that the movie doesn't illustrate the sense of community that Zora Neal Hurston represents intensely in her book Their Eyes Were Watching God. This now becomes a problem because the book is

Mr. Knightley’s parallel is Cher’s so called “ex stepbrother” Josh. Josh and Mr. Knightley are similar in countless ways and the book to film adaptation of these characters is accurate to a tee. Josh and Mr. Knightley are characters that portray good judgement, high moral character, and maturity. Mr. Knightley has strong traditional values. On the other hand, Josh’s values are similar but much more contemporary.

The novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee tells the story of how two children, Jem and Scout Finch, grow up and start to understand the world in more adult ways. In the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, racism and prejudice spreads around. Atticus Finch, a lawyer, defends an African American man who is accused of raping a white woman. This is a journey of learning new morals and compassion through experience and practice. The kids learn important life lessons from their father, Atticus. He educates them on the true meaning of sympathy, understanding toward others, courage, and standing up for what is right through lessons and his examples.

The novel is told through the eyes of Scout Finch, through her, the readers learn about her father Atticus Finch, an attorney who strives to prove the innocence of a black man unjustly accused of rape; and about Boo Radley, a mysterious neighbor who saves Scout and her brother Jem from being killed. Through these issues, the reader immediately realizes

I think that the movie was a pretty accurate presentation of the book but there were some differences between them so I would like to see an updated version of the movie and maybe the book also. There were some things that happened in the book that didn't happen in the movie, like in the book Jem was forced to read to Mrs. Dubose everyday, and in the movie he wasn't. In the book Jem waited until the next day to retreive his pants. Calpurnia tells Atticus about his children's presence at the courthouse. Tom is killed by prison guards while he was trying to escape.

The movie is scarier than the book. The book does not have any sound effects. The movie is scarier because of the lighting. When the lights dim, it is total darkness which is kind of scary. Then the lightning comes in and makes the place a whole lot spookier. Then the sound effect when the ghost points its finger, that makes it sound like something bad is going to happen. That makes it different from the book.

In my opinion this movie it’s well-received and a very good adaption of the Stephen king original novel. It has a lot of terror and it’s combined with a bit of comedy, that makes it unconventional.

Overall, I really enjoyed the film based on my opinions of the film alone. However, when compared to the book, I felt as though some important elements were lacking, and that the addition of these elements would have contributed to the success of the movie as a whole. I would recommend not only seeing the film adaptation, but also reading the book. The film is no longer in theatres, but is available on online streaming websites such as

The story is about a little girl, Jean Louise Finch and her brother, Jeremy Atticus Finch and their widowed father, Atticus Finch. They live in a small town in Alabama known as Maycomb during the 1930’s. The book begins with Jean Louise Finch, also known as Scout, and Jeremy Atticus Finch, known as Jem, meeting a new friend named Charles Baker Harris. He is often called Dill and visits from his hometown Meridian every summer. All three of them, spend their summer exploring the Radley house, home of Boo Radley. Scout and Jem make the classic transition from innocence to maturity. Jem leads this change, as he is older than Scout, but both children experience it.

Overall I think the movie did an average job in portraying the book. I feel the movie crammed everything together and created different feelings. The movie was entertaining and more dramatic, but I believe the book was far better. The book really captured me and made me want to read more. It also made me think about how life would be if I was in the shoes of Jonas. Life needs variety, freedom, choices, colors, and so much more. Without these, our world would drastically different, and the life we know now would no longer
