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.…

    Everyone in the class notices many differences between the book and the movie. Provided that the book gives detail that the movie cannot show it is a missing part in itself. Aunt Alexandra was not even mentioned in the movie. You didn’t see Scout changing from a young and reckless child, into a mature young lady. That is a colossal piece missing from this movie. Also, nothing was ever shown about finding the gum in Boo Radley’s yard. When Scout told Jem that she took the gum from the Radley property, it informed the readers that Boo would be disturbing enough to set up a poisonous trap for the the children.…

    There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, since no description of their faces is given in the book. Also, the film has some genuinely hilarious moments, particularly the scene where Scout is dressed as a ham and walking through the forest. Another good point is that the acting was superb and a treat to watch. Gregory Peck, who played Atticus, was captivating. The film is cast very well. The novel does not give physical descriptions of Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, but the film characters were believable. The actors look like what we would expect them to look like.…

    Creating a motion picture from a novel and conveying the author's intended message is a difficult task. Some film makers gracefully meet the challenge, while others fail, warping the original meaning of the novel in order to appeal to he general movie going population. Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird novel to movie transition is a mid-ground between the two extremes. Lee's theme of tolerance is neither completely destroyed nor completely expressed. The absence of characters Dolphus Raymond and Link Deas, along with the change in Dill's personality in the movie contributes to the deterioration of Lee's original theme of tolerance.…

    Fifty five years ago Martin Luther King Jr. stated in his famous I Have a Dream speech: “One hundred years later the life of a Negro is still badly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.” Racism has plagued this nation for hundreds of years and many unforgivable things have been done, but progress has been made and there may be a light at the end of this tunnel of racism. Although King’s words are indefinitely true, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Raisin in the Sun, and American Denial show that, through paradigm changes brought on by life-altering events, there is hope for a future where black and white people are treated equally. The beginning of a change in behavior is a change in mindset, which can be seen in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.…
