Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different. In the book you delve more into the separate characters while in the film you see the relationships in action. The book gives you a broader view of everything, but at the same time the movie points out everything that seems important. Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on.

The book shows the separate characters. In the novel you see The whole character by what they say. Cal can be described as a teacher to the children. She shows them the way that others live when she takes them to her church in chapter twelve. She also remarks that “...Don’t matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house’s yo’ comp’ny...”(p.24) this says that everyone is important no matter who they are. The statement “I know all that, Scout. It was the way he said it made me sick, plain sick.”(p.199) shows how much Dill really understands of what is going on.

Along with the movie showing the relationships more, the book gives you a broader view of everything. Both were beautifully done, but neither were the same. It shows how they act around each other, the looks and the tones of voices that are being used, that can change the whole meaning of different phrases. On the cover of the book it states “The timeless classic of growing up and the human dignity that unites us all” this is the book, about two children trying to make to adulthood and become good people. In the movie, the trial is ever present and going on, while the book starts before the trial. It is through her eyes that the director uses to set the stage, but it is only her eyes through that we see not through her heart nor her mind. The movie shows Cal and the children in action.

At the same time that the book shows the broader picture, the movie is centered around the trial, not the town itself. When Scout and Atticus are talking on the porch, and Scout says “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?” to me, this shows that Scout finally understands that all people are the same, and deserve the best for themselves. She acts like Alexandria although she does not know it. The children, including Dill are more focused on the trial than Boo.
