    Between the film and the novel version of To Kill A Mockingbird there are many differences between the two, and it is my job to tell you some of these differences between the two.

Secondly, they took it a little too harsh on Tom Robinson in the book, shooting him seventeen times and killing him. However, in the movie Tom tried to escape and the guard meant to just wound him but ended up being a bad shot, (unlike Atticus is, being one-shot and all) and ended up killing him. There was no lunch scene in the movie version.
