To Kill A Mockingbird - Differences between Movie and Book
There are usually differences in two different versions of something. This can often be seen when a book is made into a movie. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie versions of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
To begin with, there are many similarities between the book and movie To Kill A Mockingbird. For example, Tom Robinson died in an attempt to escape from prison in both the book and the movie. In my opinion Tom's death was crucial to the original story, and I believe the movie would have been seen as over-sentimental if the scriptwriters had let him live. Another important similarity between the book and movie, is the mutual fascination between Arthur Radley and the children. Arthur, or Boo as the children called him, left them gifts such as dolls, a watch, and chewing gum in the hollow of a tree in his yard. The children made expeditions to the Radley house to look in the window just so they could catch a glimpse of Boo Radley. I believe this captivation was important to the story line because it was the main foundation of the children's imagination. A big part of the story was imagining Boo to be some kind of freak that came out at night to eat cats and squirrels. An additional similarity between the book and movie is the respect showed to Atticus by the African American community of Maycomb. They respected him for his courage, which by his definition meant, "It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do."(112). I think the mutual respect between the African Americans and Atticus was important not only to Atticus, but also to his children. Their father and the sad story and memories of Tom Robinson taught them the wrongs of racism. I think if the movie producers had taken out the good relationship between Atticus and the African Americans, it would be taking away one of the most important themes of the story. There are many other significant similarities between the book and the movie.
In this scene, a Mad Rabid dog, named Tim Johnson, comes through the streets of a the town of Maycomb.
Reading a book once in a while helps us from being ignorant from the outside world. Readers many times dare to compare and discuss about the books that they have read. This works when we read two master pieces of literature that could be very similar and in the same time very different stories. I had the great fortune of reading the screenplay of “To Kill a Mockingbird” as well as the part of the memoir “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”. After reading these two great pieces of literature I dare to compare the main characters, Scout from “To Kill a Mockingbird” and Maria from “I know why the caged bird sings”. The main intentions of this two books are to teach lesson to their readers whether they could be children or adults.
In this essay I will discuss three overarching topics and the differences and similarities they show between the film "A Time to Kill" which stars Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey and the novel To Kill a Mockingbird which is written by Harper Lee. These overarching topics will be racial prejudice, justice, and morality. I will discuss racial prejudice's role in the court proceedings as well as state what would have occured had Carl Lee and Tom Robinson been white. In the section about justice I will discuss how the outcomes would have occured in real life had both men been judged based on crimes they actually commited and been judged by the law with no extenuating circumstances or racial prejudices affecting the verdict. I will discuss these themes using examples that have Nathan Radley and Tom Robinson from To Kill a Mockingbird and Carl Lee Hailey from "A Time to Kill".
As most everyone knows, there are differences between a book and it’s movie adaptation. This is applicable to the book and it’s movie counterpart To Kill a Mockingbird, as well. But aside from the differences, there are also similarities between these two.
Jill McCorkle's Ferris Beach, a contemporary novel, shares numerous characteristics with Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, a novel written in the 1960's. Like To Kill a Mockingbird, McCorkle's novel documents the life of a young girl in a small southern town. The two narrators, Kate Burns and Scout Finch, endure difficult encounters. A study of these main characters reveals the parallels and differences of the two novels. Jill McCorkle duplicates character similarities and rape from Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird to show the reader how young girls think and develop.
In the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" each of the main characters changed quite a bit. Through the experiences each character went through and the natural maturing that occurred in each of them, the characters were altered from the way they were at beginning of the book. The children, Scout and Jem, were the two most dramatically changed characters. However, Scout showed much more change than Jem did because of his mysterious hidden attitude. Scout matured from a helpless and naïve child into a much more experienced and grown-up young lady.

Lightweight concrete plays a major part in the construction of large-scale structures around the world, typically in bridges and high-rise buildings. With an ever-improving industry and product lightweight concrete will continue to have a vast impact in the future.
Now a days HPC is expensive than conventional concrete. It require additional materials in some quantities as to meet specified performance.These additional materials are cement,silica fume,...
In this paper report we have discussed about the use of recycled concrete aggregate in the concrete and the effects on its compressive strength by progressively replacing the natural concrete aggregate (NCA) by recycled aggregate. It is the experimental study of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) when it is compared with the natural concrete aggregate on account of its properties.
The ratio of flexural strength to compressive strength of lightweight foamed concrete (LWFC) was in the range of 0.06-0.10 and this ratio was also found to reduce with increasing water-cement ratios and decreasing densities (Deijk, 1991). The splitting tensile strengths of LFC mixes were higher for mixes with sand than those with fly ash. This was attributed to the improved shear capacity between sand particles and the paste phase. (Jones and McCarthy, 2005)
Of the two methods were by replacing the normal aggregates by lightweight aggregates and the other by introducing air entraining agents to increase the volume of the mix. Many light weight aggregates like pumice stone, blast furnace slag, slate and metakaolin. Use of these aggregates to some extend did not show much variation in compressive strength of concrete. The other material used as replacement to aggregates was the EPS beads. These beads reduced the weight of concrete by large amount but also affected the strength of concrete
Valeria Corinaldesi, et al. evaluated compressive strength of concrete. The Compressive strength of concrete was determined at 3, 7 and 28 days age of curing. The addition of both red and blue pigments caused a certain strength loss never higher than 3 MPa. Moreover, the use of CaO together with shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) allowed to fully recovering the slight strength loss due to the red pigment addition. At the dosage of 20 kg/m³ slightly reduces concrete compressive strength. The use of shrinkage reducing admixture and CaO proves to be very effective in reducing the risk of concrete cracking and it also gives positive contribution on concrete compressive strength
studied the advantages of using a mortar-based mix design methodology for C-SCC. Many mortars and colored SCC were prepared including different pigments shape and fineness. Synthetic pigments are extensively used as color agents in cement based materials (Ordinary ‘‘grey” Portland cement (G) or white Portland cement), their requirements are included in many sources (Bower et al, 1964 and Buehrer et al, 1987) [28-29]. Three iron oxides yellow (y), red (r), black (b), carbon black (c) and two copper phthalocyanines blue (phg) and green (phg) were used. Some pigments can strongly increase air incorporation in fresh concrete, as in the case of the cupric phthalocyanines (Barragan B.E. et al, 2008) [30]. Mortar tests are also effective to detect this fact. It can be seen a significant increase in air content appears when phthalocyanine pigments were used; as a consequence notable reductions in strength must be expected
Conventional normal cement concrete is normally used as construction material of buildings. The impervious nature of concrete
