Differences Between To Kill A Mockingbird Book And Movie

Everyone should learn about the differences between the book and the movie of To Kill A Mockingbird, which is written by Harper Lee. People should learn this because it a great representative of Injustice. The main characters in the book are Atticus, Jem, and Scout. Atticus is Jem and Scout’s dad. Calpurnia is Atticus’s helper around the house. Also Dill is a boy who is friends with Jem and Scout who is only with them in the summer. The Radleys are a family that are very secretive and Boo Radley never comes out of the house. The most significant difference between the book and the movie is the lack of focus on injustice, in the book it shows it strongly and the movie does not show the injustice.
The first major part of the injustice

represented in the book takes place at Calpurnia’s church, which shows some people are not treated as fairly and have been treated unjustly. Calpurnia’s church was very undeveloped and could not be paid for by the people who wanted to use it “where are the hymn books? We don’t have any.”(160). This shows that the people of color in the church could not fund the church completely. This proves they could not pay for their own church and how they were not funded enough. Which is part of the injustice they suffered from.
Another instance of injustice in the book, not in the movie is at the court; Because Mr Gilmer prosecuted Tom Robinson very rudely, Dill gets sick and runs outside crying. This is completely left out in the movie. It shows that this is a normal behavior for people at the time and that people should not think twice about it, when it is really a big problem. Which is why it causes this feeling of injustice to disappear in the movie and strongly stay in the book.
There is another example of this at the court, when the jury is making their decisions, they represent the people of Maycomb and the Maycomb Disease. The jury had no evidence that Robinson had been guilty, yet they still charged him so. The jury had evidence against Robinson being guilty, when they found out that Mayella had lied on testimony. Also that Mr. Ewell was left handed and Mayella’s right eye was blackened, when Robinson’s left arm was disabled. Yet they still charged Robinson guilty. This is definitely injustice if it can not even be stopped at the courts.
The injustice in this book is terrible, because things like what happened in the book really happened in real life. Places that are similar to Calpurnia’s church really existed in the time period the book took place. People who prosecuted people in similar situations to Tom Robinson really did treat people wrongly deepening the injustice, until the injustice was so bad that it has been realized and is being stopped. Even the court system was unjust in its ways of treating people. To Kill A Mockingbird the movie does not include these events as much and as strongly as the book, To Kill A Mockingbird is a book that shows the injustice in the world.
