After reading the book, and then watching the movie, I have made some observations on what characters were not mentioned or described in the movie and what bits and plots were not there. To start off with characters, I noticed that there were to characters that were dropped from the book and were not included in the movie remake. There was Uncle Jack and Dolphus Raymond. There are many scenes that I realize are missing in the movie remake of the book “ To Kill a Mockingbird”. For starters, I realize that you never see scouts teacher Mrs. Caroline. In chapter 2 in the novel, you are introduced to Mrs. Caroline and the Cunningham family when scout had to explain to Mrs. Caroline about Walter. Mrs. Caroline asked if Walter Cunningham wanted money for lunch because he had none and Scout was the only student that could explain how the Cunningham family doesn’t borrow or take money from any family or person.…

    In most cases when there are two versions of something we can find differences and similarities, such as when a book is made into a movie.

The three main differences are the alterations of major scenes, the absence of characters and the lack of details illustrated in the book.…

    There are several differences and similarities between the representation of life in both Solitude, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and To Kill a Mockingbird. First and foremost, a similarity between To Kill a Mockingbird’s representation of life and Solitude’s representation is how everyone will die alone. Ella Wheeler Wilcox writes, “But one by one we must all file on through the narrow aisles of pain”. This symbolically represents that we must all eventually die alone. This is very similar to, To Kill a Mockingbird’s representation, as Harper Lee writes, “Mrs. Dubose lived alone except for a Negro girl in constant attendance”.…

    A great book is difficult to define. Some books contain endless action an exciting plot while others are more theological, but both make excellent reads. The Chosen by Chaim Potok, and Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird display this elegantly. Lee’s book starts with a trial and ends with a murder, but The Chosen, though less dramatic still possess the qualities of a great book. Both books deal with complex problems such as religion, race, justice, and friendship. In my opinion, The Chosen was a greater book because of its superior theme, plot, and connection between the reader and the characters.…

    The death penalty relates to the book How to Kill a Mockingbird because it deals a lot with racism. Tom Robinson could’ve gotten the death penalty for the crime he was said to have done. He was accused of rape. Also he was a black man so he was unlikely to be found not guilty. In colonial times if you were African American you were more likely to be found guilty and accused of things you didn’t do. Now a day it just is based on the crime committed not your race.…

    In symbolism he uses the word night to foreshadow that death is near or to help explain how terrifying something was. In setting he talks about the camps he visited and all the places he stayed.

Using all these stylistic elements to help show the pain and missouri he went…
