  • To Kill A Mockingbird - Differences between Movie and Book

    785 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

    The similarities are quite apparent, the movie plot mainly follows the basic plot that the book took, leaving the viewer’s with a sense of accomplishment, as this is sometimes not achieved in the highest degree. Scout still has a brother, Jem. They both still meet Dill and have a few adventures with him throughout the film. Jem and Scout still have a single father, Atticus, having lost their mother many years ago. Calpunia is still their cook. And the whole story still has an overpowering sense of focusing on two main stories, Boo Radley (Arthur Radley) and Tom Robinson’s trial.

  • Atticus's Ideology

    325 Words  | 1 Pages

    Another film I watched this semester was To Kill a Mockingbird which was about rumors surrounding a boy down the street named Boo Radley, and Atticus defending an African-American (Tom Robinson) in a very racist society. The ideology in the film is to always do the right thing no matter what the consequences are. For example, in the film, Atticus defends an African-American even though Atticus is white, people threaten him, and he may lose his job. To Kill a Mockingbird falls into the explicit ideology category. This is explicit ideology because this film’s goal is to teach as much as they can about doing the right thing even if may cause you to have enemies (Giannetti 403). Moreover, it is explicit because the main goal of the movie is to

  • Bob Ewell Influence In To Kill A Mockingbird

    697 Words  | 2 Pages

    There were multiple characters that angered me throughout the novel. Mrs. Dubose was one of them, for being really snotty to Jem and Scout. Another was Miss.Caroline for being really unknowledgeable about Maycomb and being so rude towards Scout because her ability to read was beyond her years. The moment Miss.Caroline triggered me the most was when she told Scout to tell her father, Atticus to stop teaching her how to read at home. Even though Atticus didn’t teach her and just simply read to her every night and answer all of the questions that Scout had asked. But above all of the really ignorant characters that angered me throughout the novel, Bob Ewell was at the top of my list.

    Another consequence of defending Tom Robinson in court, aside from being known as a "nigger lover" and opening himself to several other forms of racial hatred from the good people of Maycomb, Atticus was also arguing against a man who was known to be a violent drunk.  Bob Ewell was a frightening man and it was noble of Atticus to put himself in a position of opposing such an unstable individual.  Atticus remained a gentleman when Ewell confronted him at the post office.  Most men in his position would have violently lashed out at Robert E. after being spat upon.  Atticus did the right thing and remained a gentleman throughout the confrontation.
