Difference & Similarity Between the Movie and Book
The difference between To Kill a Mockingbird novel and the film is that in the film they did not show that Tom Robinson had a problem with his arm. They did this to make racism not as prominent in the film as much as they did in the book. They are similar because Atticus is still ridiculed for defending Tom who is an African American and many people disagreed.
