Harper lee wrote To Kill a Mocking Bird It is very crazy to think about the differences between 1:49 minutes compared to 376 pages in a book. There are many things the book and the movies of To Kill a Mockingbird that there were not in the play we went and watched. Just a few off the top of my head there were there wasn’t even an Aunt Alexandria, the big difference was there wasn’t even a school setting! In the book Scout beats up Walter Cunningham, that wasn’t even in the play. Then the last one Boo Radley didn’t even get to show his personality in the play they completely cut him out of the play.
In the book there was a huge difference and a huge impact on the audience which included Boo Radley’s kindness and how he showed affection towards the finch children. Agreed Boo Radley is crazy but he is just a normal guy living his life the way he wants to. You can judge a book by its cover, boo does in fact sit inside all day every day of his

There wasn’t even a character in the play and the book! Aunt Alexandria was in the book and played a huge roll in the book and she wasn’t even in the play to begin with the play conductor completely took her out of it! This was a huge impact on the audience because this throws a lot of people off because some lines Aunt Alexandria said were given to other characters. She took off her glasses and stared at me. ‘"I'll tell you why,"’ she said. ‘"Because—he—is—trash, that's why you can't play with him.’” – Aunt Alexandria she is saying this because it shows how she talks how she doesn’t have a filter in what she says she just says anything that comes to mind when she thinks
I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This book is about a girl, named Scout, her brother Jem, and the people who lived in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama during the 1930s. Along with their summer friend, Dill, the children become obsessed with the idea of getting a look at their unseen neighbor, Boo Radley. Meanwhile, their father, Atticus Finch, decided to defend Tom Robinson, a black man who was wrongly accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell. The children get caught up in the trial, in which Tom is convicted and eventually killed while trying to escape from prison.
Scout Finch is not an ordinary girl, and she does not want to be. Everything about her life proves a little bit out of the ordinary, especially the mysteries of her town. Things start to get even more odd than usual when a neighbor’s nephew, Dill, arrives. He has an untamed curiosity that also boosts Scout’s wonder to figure out the truth of the Radley house next door and the mysterious Boo Radley who lives there. While many questions surround Scout, her father takes a case that will change all of their lives.
This incident shows the reader that she wants to be taken seriously by her colleagues. It also displays that Hilly deeply treasures her reputation because of her reaction towards the situation. On the other hand, Aunt Alexandra has also shown the reader signs that she values her family’s reputation. In chapter 23 of To Kill a Mockingbird, Aunt Alexandra did not allow Scout to play with Walter Cunningham because of his poor background. She said, “Because-he-is-trash, that’s why you can’t play with him.
Therefore, there are a greater number of reasons why Tom Robinson is the mockingbird over Boo. The fitting roles that Harper Lee writes for each character easily makes this novel to be considered one of the finest pieces of literature in America. Tom Robinson is the mockingbird for being put on trial for doing no
To Kill A Mockingbird: Read it, Don’t Watch it. Have you ever watched the movie adaptation of a book, only to find that the book is far superior to it’s movie counterpart? Oftentimes when a book is adapted into a movie, there are some differences between the two.

Number 5 - Scout Projects I believe the mocking bird could be one of three people. A possibility is Jem because he grows up a lot during the whole story, and is hurt from an ‘evil’ source. Another possibility is Tom Robinson he's falsely accused of raping a white girl named Mayella Violet Ewell. Finally the last possibility to be the Mockingbird in is Boo Radley ( Arthur) who isn't showing that a lot in the book.
Aunt Alexandra briefly say’s; “I’ll tell you why.. Because-he-is-trash” (Lee 301). Aunt Alexandra uses negative connotative language to describe in short phrases, the type of
Maudie’s dispute, Atticus walks in to everyone's surprise. When Aunt Alexandra is asked to accompany Atticus in the kitchen, she almost instantly asks what's wrong so everyone in the room can listen in. Aunt Alexandria tries to be a people pleaser but at the same time, wants things done her way. By asking what is wrong in front of everyone, she is satisfying the groups' gossip needs and therefore making everyone happier. She wants things her way because previously she makes Scout cry while telling her that the way she is acting is wrong and that Scout needs to have more pride.
We live in a society today where judging others is a regular, everyday activity. Many people may blame a significant amount of this issue on the excessive amount of technology we have access too, but this problem has been around for much longer. In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, it shows the ugliness that can come from judging others, but it also teaches two young children, Scout and Jem, to listen to others, so that you can have the opportunity to learn from them. Throughout the story many characters were able to demonstrate this lesson for the kids, but three that were true examples of it were Tom Robinson, Atticus Finch and Boo Radley. With only aiming to stand up for what they believe in and not worrying what everyone
To begin, Aunt Alexandra is one of the many voices of hypocrisy in the book. Aunt Alexandra is a symbol of old southern charm and what woman were supposed to act like in the 1930s. She lives by the fact that family is the most important thing in life. She judges
" This shows that Boo Radley is the in a way “outside character”. He can sense that there are many horrors of the world destroying the innocence, or the mockingbird in this case, so he chooses to ignore
Multiple characters are symbolized as mockingbirds because it would be a sin to kill them as they only try and want to be a kind, civil person. Boo Radley is a misunderstood, and kind-hearted man who is represented as a mockingbird in the novel. Boo, due to the county's curiosity and fast pace spreading of rumours, is often perceived as monster “Inside the house lived a malevolent phantom” (Lee 8).
But Atticus had different beliefs. Although many characters in, To Kill a Mockingbird, base their self-worth off of their family of origin, the truth is that the most admirable people in the novel, “are the people who did the best they could with the sense they had,” Nobody denies that Aunt Alexandria is old-fashioned and proper, and often refers to the people of Maycomb in light of their family history. She seems to believe that behaviors and character traits are hereditary, passed on from one generation to the next - one family might have a Gambling Streak, or a Mean Streak, or a Funny Streak. She also judges families on the basis of how long they have been settled in the same place.
Boo Radley represents one of the “mockingbirds” in the book, and a mockingbird is someone that is pure and innocence in the world. He is a good person that is hurt by the evil of mankind. In a lot of ways, Boo Radley might have have wanted to stay shut up in his house after seeing some of the awful acts that the townspeople have committed. But after seeing the Finch kids being attacked by Bob Ewell he had no choice but to leave the comfort of his own home that he has been enclosed in for so long to come out and save them. All though it would have been easier for this man to stay in his house rather than leave and then be drug into court, he did what he knew would be right and rescued the
