The Movie

The scene in the To Kill a Mockingbird movie I am going to talk about is the Tom Robinson trial when Miss Mayella starts just screaming shes not gonna say no more. This scene stands out to me because in the Mayella is just how I imagined her in the book kind of skinny like shes been starved and flaky because she seems so scared like she can never follow through with anything. Mayella also acts like she does in the book.

This scene has similarities and differences to the book. One Similarity is that Mayella says what she does in the book in the same tone so it makes it easy to relate to the book. One difference is that the trial does cut out some things that the book does make really clear about more details about the house and some other things Mayella does like cry more than one time etc. Another similarity is Mayella is so lonely and when she tells her story it's like the one in the book, how she lies and says she asked Tom to bust up a chiffarobe and then she said he came in after he asked for his nickel which wasn't true. A final difference is that the movie is sort of just gets this scene over with and doesn't go into details, but in the book it really gets into detail about the trial which makes it interesting.
