To Kill A Mockingbird Book And Movie Analysis
The wonderful story that is To Kill A Mockingbird has been around for a long while, and has a lot to say. There is so much to it such as many themes, symbolism, and imagery. A world wide phenomenal book which was later turned into a movie. There are many similarities and differences in the book To Kill A Mockingbird and the film that was based upon it.

This made them believe he is actually real and is probably not awful as they say. One more thing the film missed from the book is when Scout and Dill meet Mr. Dolphus Raymond who always pretends to be drunk, hangs out with the black community, and his colored wife. Last thing in the movie they didn't mention which was in the book is Aunt Alexandra not mentioned in the entire
