The Movie

We are watching the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird in class beginning this Wednesday. While you are watching the film, choose a specific scene to write about. This may be a scene that stands out to you because it was exactly how you imagined it while reading or was very different from what you pictured while you were reading. Or maybe the scene stands out because of the acting or set design.

Write two paragraphs on one specific scene from the movie in which you clearly describe the scene in the book and compare/contrast it with what you imagined while reading. Comment on the actors portraying the characters and how they compared with your previous mental image. Also comment on the visual impact of the scene: the setting, costumes, lighting, etc. You do not need to quote the novel on this one, but use specific details from the reading as support for your comparison. Try to write something that reflects your own personal interpretation of the novel - be unique.
