Book: To Kill A MockingBird 
Pages read: Beginning to End

         I think one of the biggest differences between the written and movie version of To Kill A Mockingbird is how Aunt Alexandra isn't in the movie. In the book Aunt Alexandra plays a huge role as basically Scout and Jem's mother. The children at first don't like her however soon begin to like her and see her ways. In the movie Miss Maudie takes Aunt Alexandra's place and takes that role as a mother possibly because the movie producers didn't find her role that important however she is important. In the book Aunt Alexandra teaches Scout to be a bit more feminism and teaches Scout to be more ladylike. In the movie Scout doesn't have aunt Alexandra there so she never learns this lesson meaning that Scout could have never been taught how to be lady like which could have changed her life.

          I think that the purpose of them having multiple versions of To Kill A Mockingbird is to get the strong story out more. In the movie "To Kill A Mockingbird" the children don't really interact with black people as much as they do in the book. When the children go with their father to go tell Hellen about how Atticus will be taking up the case Bob Ewell comes out of nowhere and stares at the children in the car and they zoom on his face etc. This is the first time the children interact with Boo Radley and black people which is huge! The children interact with Black people in the book when they go to the church with Calpurnia which is pretty important because they get to see a different side of racism coming from a black person.
