The Movie.

One scene that personally stood out at me is the trial scene. I think the reason why is because a lot of things were both similar and different. I noticed that in the movie, Mayella was acting a lot different from what I visualized her as in the book. I thought that Mayella would be a little less nervous, because in the book the descriptions made me think that she was much more timid when testifying. Another thing I noticed is I thought that Tom would have more to talk about in his defense, but in the movie I thought he kept really quiet... In the book, he was still nervous, but he seemed way more nervous in the movie.

Some things were really similar, for instance the way the character's looked. When looking at Mayella and Bob Ewell, their physical descriptions fit really well with the book's descriptions. They were dirty and greasy, and everything I imagined. The picture in my mind of Jem was the same, too. I could see the interest on Jem's face as he watched Atticus speak and everything else that was happening. The same expressions Jem had were the same that I visualized while reading.
