As everyone knows, there are differences between a book and its film adaptation. This also applies to the book and its film counterpart To Kill a Mockingbird. But beyond the differences, there are also similarities between the two. The similarities are quite obvious, the plot of the film mostly follows the basic plot of the book, leaving the viewer with a feeling of accomplishment, as this is sometimes not achieved in the film. highest degree. Scout still has a brother, Jem. They both meet Dill and have a few adventures with him throughout the film. Jem and Scout still have a single father, Atticus, having lost their mother many years ago. Calpunia is still their cook. And the whole story still has the compelling feeling of focusing on two main stories, Boo Radley (Arthur Radley) and the trial of Tom Robinson. Another very crucial point in the overall story is the mutual fascination between the children and Boo Radley (Arthur Radley). Boo constantly leaves objects (a watch, two soap dolls, a knife, etc.) in the hollow of a tree on his property. Just as Boo does this, the kids are constantly hatching plans to peer through the windows of the Radley house, to sneak into the backyard…etc. This was largely important to the story because it relied on the viewer's opinion of the children, leading us to believe that they had a great capacity for imagination based on their stories about Boo only eating nuts. squirrels and every cat he could get his hands on, and making them believe the stories too! And all these cases, the children's stories, the fact that Boo never leaves his house in view of the others, the others' stories about the Radleys, the presents in the hollow of the tree, lead us to believe that Boo is a kind of ...... middle of paper......, Jem had to read Mme Dubois every day. After his death (and an explanation to Jem and Scout why), Atticus taught Jem an important lesson about having courage. Although the film passed without any major problems in the absence of this and Atticuc's moving speech about courage, the film could have gained a lot more ground and levity if it had included these scenes. I have only included what I believe to be largely important. the gaps and differences between the film version and the book version, and so I apologize again if I missed any other major ones. Forgive me, please. In conclusion of this essay, each creation that has different versions will have some differences between them. This is a positive development for the book and film version of To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. Works CitedTo Kill a Mockingbird MovieTo Kill a Mockingbird Book
