Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different. In the book you delve more into the separate characters while in the film you see the relationships in action. The book gives you a broader view of everything, but at the same time the movie points out everything that seems important. Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on. The book shows the separate characters. In the novel you see The whole character by what they say. Cal can be described as a teacher to the children. She shows them the way that others live when she takes them to her church in chapter twelve. She also remarks that "...Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house's yo' comp'ny..."(p.24) this says that everyone is important no matter who they are.

When Scout and Atticus are talking on the porch, and Scout says "Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?" to me, this shows that Scout finally understands that all people are the same, and deserve the best for themselves. Along with the movie showing the relationships more, the book gives you a broader view of everything. In the book, the black community is shown more, through the church, and the descriptions given by cal and Atticus. Cal explains "Can't but about four folks in First Purchase read...I'm one of 'em"(p.124) this shows the difference between the values of the white and black community. Since the black people would only be hired for field work, and hard labor, schools would be a waste of time. While the white people would be expected to learn as much as they could, and go on to a better station in life, depending on there ancestors.
