In a lesson before dying‚ I noticed many differences between the movie and book. In the book the superintendent went to inspect the children but in the movie the part was not shown‚ in the book it was Miss Emma’s idea to bring the children in the day room but in the movie it was Grants idea and lastly in the movie they didn’t show the several visits between Jefferson and Grant before he began to open up. In the book‚ Grant awaits the annual visit by the superintendent. He makes sure that his students
