Compare and Contrast the Novel and The Film of To Kill a Mocking Bird

Both the film and book of To Kill a Mocking Bird were so full of emotion and amazement. There are some differences and similarities between the two though.

The Differences between the film version and the novel vary. One of the most noticeable differences between the two is that the film left out some segments that were in the book. One of the segments that they left out was how Scout got in trouble at school with Ms. Caroline. We never got to see what school was like for Scout and that is one of the major settings in the beginning of the book. Another major difference is when Calpurnia enters the courtroom and tells Atticus that the kids didn't arrive at home, leading Atticus to find out that they were watching the trial the entire time.
Another difference is that the film doesn't always tell the story from Scouts point of view when the book does.


The Similarities between the film and the novel are more than the differences. One of the major similarities is how each of the characters interact with each other is almost identical to how they treat one another in the book.
