- How would you prove or disprove that one version of To Kill A Mockingbird is more effective in delivering its message than the other? Be sure to provide specific pieces of evidence to support your opinion.
One of the most important differences in my opinion between the written and filmed versions of To Kill A Mockingbird was the fact that in the movie, Tom Robinson had his left hand. While inside of the book Tom's hand had been chopped off by a machine if I recall. This is a very important difference especially to how the trial continues, as many could of just said he was lying when he said he couldn't move his hand. For example when Atticus tossed the cup at Tom, as he caught the cup with his right, he could of been lying about not being able to catch the cup with his left. Its obvious he isn't that type of person based off of his reactions later in the trial, but the jury that was all white folks could of thought differently.
The second most important difference in my opinion would be when Miss Maudie's house burned down in the book, but never in the movie. I think this because without this happening, we wouldn't have seen one of the moments where Boo or Arthur Radley interacts with the Scout and Jem. This was vital in the book as Scout and Jem where always looking for ways to meet Boo and that moment had helped Scout connect with Boo more. As when Boo put the blanket around Scout's shoulders when she was outside watching the fire, very cold.
I think that the book version of To Kill A Mockingbird is more effective in delivering its message more than the movie. I think this because in the book there is a variety of other characters that helped give more meaning to the book than in the movie. For example Aunt Alexandra, who helped give that mother figure to both Jem and Scout while still helping Atticus while he was busy away at night with the trial. She also taught Scout many things over how to be more feminine. Like when she held that tea party at their house and Scout saw how the ladies acted and tried to be like them.
