TKAM - Final - John L.
I belive that the ending of the movie was a bit different than the book. For instance in the book Tom Robinson got shot seventeen times when he tried to escape from jail, in the movie he was escapeing on the way to the jail and got shot once. When Scout and Jem were going to the Halloween pagent they got scared by Cecil Jacobs in the book, Jem and Scout thought that Jacobs was trying to scare them on the way home. At the end Scout nearly got stabbed by Mr. Ewell but got saved by her costume. Over all I think the book had a lot more detail than the movie.
The end almost had the same outcome, like when the man that tried to hurt Jem and Scout fell on his knife, and Jem had a broken arm. Scout dressed as a ham in the book and the movie for the Halloween pagent and forgot her shoes in the school.

TKAM Final Assignment - Skyler C
In the story and the movie they end in two different ways... In the story, it ends as Jem and Scout are walkling home from the school and Scout and Jem get into a fight with some older people that they dont know who. When they get home Atticus calls the doctor so they can check out Jem to make sure he's ok, and he was knocked out and had a broken arm. And Atticus tells Scout to take off her pants and shirt. In the movie, Scout and Jem were walking home from the school and get into a fight with people they dont know. Boo Radley carries Jem back to his house after he gets knocked out. When Scout goes running home Atticus calls the sheriff and the doctor to check out Jem to make sure he's ok. He has a broken arm, and at the very end the sheriff comes and tells Atticus and the family that Mr. Ewell had stabbed himself. These are both similar because in both of them tey get into a fight after they leave the school and Jem is knocked out and has a broken arm in both. They are different though because in the book Boo Radley doesnt carry Jem away andAtticus doesnt tell Scout to take off her clothes in the movie.
TKAM...
How the movie an book are different, is that toward the very ending of the movie, Jemwas incautious and in the book he wasn't.Another difference in the movie is when they announced that Tom Robinson died, they were not in a little get together little party thing, but in the book scout and calpurnia where with a few friends. Another difference was that at the very end of the book, atticus takes and puts scout into bed, but in the movie they conclude it with scout,jem, and Aticus in a room and Sout is on Atticuses lap.
In a few ways they are the same is that at the end of the movie Jem and Scout are on there way to the school. However Scout does also forget her shoes. Toward the end of the book there is a trial about the incident with mr. mayflower and Tom Robinson.
To conclude my essay, i have to say that the book was very good.

TKAM-Final Assignment Alicia S.
There are many similarities between the book and the movie of "To Kill A Mockingbird." Some similarities is that it was Halloween and Jem was Scout's escort to the play. Also, Scout lost her shoes in both the movie and the book. Next, Scout yelled something thinking it was Cecil Jacobs. Bob Ewell attacked them underneath the tree next to the old Radley place. Jem fought back and became unconscious. Boo Radley came and pulled Bob Ewell off of Scout and then he carried Jem home. Mr. Heck Tate asked Scout what happened and she found Boo Radley in the corner of the room. Boo was skinny and had blonde hair in both the movie and book. Then, out on the porch Atticus and Heck were discussing if Bob fell on the knife or if Jem stabbed him. Mr. Heck Tate decided that Bob fell on the knife and left. Finally, Scout walked Boo Radley back home.
Next, there are also very many differences. One of the differences is that Scout never mentioned that she had something shiny on her costume so that she could be seen in the dark in the movie. Second, they never looked at the punctures in her costume. Also, Aunt Alexandra never came out to get Scout and she was never mentioned in the movie. Finally, Cecil Jacobs never scared them before they went to the play in the movie.

TKAM Final Assignment - Kenna G.
In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, when Jem and Scout are walking home from the program Scout gets hung up in the barbedwire during the fight. In the movie, she just stands in her costume up against a tree and doesn't get thrown around. In the movie, Aunt Alexandra never came so there wasn't the ending that there was in the book. Also in the book when Mr. Heck Tate comes over to see what happened to Jem, he didn't stomp his foot to prove that Bob Ewell fell on his knife and Atticus didn't argue with him over the fact that Jem could have possibly stabbed Bob Ewell. In the movie, they totally skipped over the part that Scout was really worried about Jem and the doctor had to comfort her. In the book Jem had Scout's dress in his hand but Scout just didn't want to put it on. In the movie she couldn't find it after she took it off at the school for the program. Also in the movie Cecil Jacobs didn't scare them before they got to the schoolhouse.
"TKAM" Last assignment- Katie F.
In the end of To Kill A Mockingbird the movie and the book, have some similarities and they also have some diffrences.
Some of the similarities in the book and the movie are that in the movie they are going to get Scout's dress, because Scout tells Jem that she had left her dress and her shoes at school, so she had to go barefoot to the house. And they get in that fight with that person and it knocks Jem out to were he is unconsions. And Boo Radley finds Jem inconouse and then as Scout ran back to go tell Atticus. And Atticus had asked who brought him in and Scouts like hes right there just ask him ur self.
Some of the diffrences in the book and in the movie are that they are in a get-together when they find out the the police had shot and kill Tom Robinson, in the movie they just showed them going to his house to show respect. Another diffrence in the movie than the book is that in the book at the end Atticus had asked Scout to take her close off to see if she had any scares or bruses from the fight that they were in and in the movie it left of were Scout and atticus were by the window in the rocking chair. These are the similarities and diffrences that occur in the book and in the movie.

TKAM - Final Assignment Christian B.
The endings of the movie and the books were similar in some ways. They were similar because they both ended with Bob Ewell attacking the kids while they were walking towards their house. They also both had Jem unconscious in bed, and Boo had stabbed Ewell in the ribs to save the children. Boo was also hiding in a corner when Mr. Tate came in to question people, and Mr. Tate said that instead of Boo or Jem stabbing Mr. Ewell, he simply fell on his own knife, as to avoid a trial and bad publicity. Scout had also walked Boo home.
They were different in many ways too. In the movie, Mr. Ewell, instead of spitting in Atticus's face near the 3rd quarter of the book, didn't do it until the end was almost there. Tom Robinson was also killed right after the trial, and instead of being shot more than 10 times, he was only shot once. The movie also skipped most of Scout's ending speech at the end of the book, instead only saying two or three sentences. And last, Cecil Jacobs never appeared in the movie, but was mentioned during the end.

1. Jem felt completely sure that Tom Robinson would be acquitted of all charges, due to the evidence given by Atticus.
2. Mayella did not give a concvincing performance in court, I think. She said she had invited him in to chop a chiffarobe, and he attacked her. She wasn't convincig to me, due to the way she stated things.
3. I think Tom Robinson was convicted simply because he was a black man going against a white woman. Jem reacts badly, in complete shock, and he feels very sick.
4. Tom's saying that he felt sorry for the girl affected the trial, because it was completely unheard of and offensive to to the white people.
5. There has been little mention of the Radley house in this section, so it must be somewhat calm. Jem thinks Boo wants to stay inside because of the hatred and stuff.
6. Aunt Alexandra refuses to let Walter over simply because she doesn't like his family. She thinks they're trash. Scout reacts to this by going to her room and crying.
7. Jem thinks Atticus is brave, because he took a spit in the face to deflect Ewells anger away from Mayella, so she wouldn't be beaten again.
8. I really do think this was true. I do not think it's anywhere near as true today, though we still have plenty of racist people around in the United States.

Assignment 7 "TKAM" Katie
1. Jem thinks that he has a good chance of not getting comviced for rape.Jem also didnt like the fact the he was getting convicted.
2. Her testamony is not very convinceing because of the way she is always stuttering. Also she tries to stand up for him and proves that he should not be prssecuted or convected of the crime that he might get charged for.
3.Yes i think Tom Robinson will get conivted. Also Jem thinks that he should not be convicted,but Atticus doesnt them to be there during the trail.
4. Tom Robinson feels sorry beacuse that he she had to go thourgh all of it and that what he said about not raping the white girl..............Because he had lied......
5. Things are going rather ok i guess you could say in thier house.
6. Scout's aunt says no to him coming over and playing because she wants Scout to be more Lady like. Scout reacts to this by not talkin to her.
7. Jem starts standing up for what he believes in after he sees Atticus het spitted on.
8. No I dont believe that white men always win.... Just because we are diffrent that other other races doesn't make us more powerfull, also I dont like the other race doesnt mean that we are more better than the other races.
1. Describe how Jem felt about Tom Robinson's chance of aquittal?
Jem felt that it wasn't right that they always took a white mans word over a black mans word and he felt that Tom should have a fair chance.
2. Describe Mayella Ewell's testimony on the stand. What does she say happens? Is she convincing?
Mayella says that Tom came inside the fence and grabbed her around the neck. She says he got her down and took advantage of her. She isn't very convincing to me because she keeps acting like everyone is out to get her and no one will listen to her side of the story.
3. Why do you think Tom Robinson is convicted? How does Jem react?
I think Tom is convicted because he is black and Mayella cried on the stand so many times. Jem can't stand the idea that Tom wasn't given a fair chance.
4. How does Tom Robinson's testimony that he felt sorry for Mayella affect the trial?
His testimony that he feels sorry for Mayella does not go over very well. They say that a black man with all his needs had no business feeling sorry for Mayella.
5. How are things at the Radley's house these days?
They say that Scout is beginning to understand why Boo Radley stays in the house all the time.
6. Why does Aunt Alexandra refuse Scout's desire for Walter Cunningham to come over and play? How does Scout deal with this?
Aunt Alexandra says that if you cleaned Walter up and put him in new shoes he wouldn't be like Jem, ever. There was also a drinking streak in the family.
7. When Atticus is spit on by Bob Ewell, how does he change Jem's definition of bravery?
He changes Jem's definition because instead of fighting back he remained calm, made a joke out of it, and walks away.
8. Atticus explains Tom Robinson's conviction by saying, "when it's a white man's word against a black man's word, the white man always wins." Do you think this is still true today? Our we still racially based?
No, I don't think it is still true today because there is different races interacting everyday.
1. Jem felt like there was a very good chance over Tom's aquittal. He really wanted Tom to be a free man because he could not think why anybody would charge him under the evidence that was shown. He thought Tom was going to be a free man.
2. Mayella's testomoney on the stand was pretty convincing, but she was very scared and angry. When they asked her how her father treated her, she started to say over and over about how he treated her well. She kept thinking Atticus was making fun of her and she did not say anything after she told them her story.
3. I think Tom was convicted on account that he was a black man. They did not like colored folks and the whole jury was white. Jem was very upset when Tom Robinson was convicted.
4. Tom Robinson's testimoney about feeling sorry for Mayella Ewell certaintly affected the trial. They could not believe that a black man would ever feel sorry for a white woman.
5. The Radley's house as been very quite and has not been mentioned in a while. Jem thinks that Boo Radley accually WANTS to stay inside his house.
6. Aunt Alexandra refused Scout's for Walter Cunningham to come over and play because she said that they are trash. Also she said that they Cunningham's talk to much and does not want him to come over. Scout deals with this by getting angry, and Jem caught her and took her in the other room. Jem comforts her and tells her not to let Aunt Alexandra aggrivate her.
7. When Atticus got spat on by Mr. Ewell, Jem changed his definition of bravery. He now realizes a man can also be brave without a gun. Also, by staying calm about it will affect the person that did it to you greater than they affected you.
8. I think that was a true statement then because all the white men were racist and would go against a black man any time they could. I do not think that it is true today, because very few people are racist anymore. I don't think we are still racially based, but there are a few people out there that still thinks badly about a different race than their's.

TKAM - Assignment 7 John L.
1.Jem thought that Tom Robinson had a decent of getting acquainted and he though Atticus was doing alright.
2. Mayella Ewell thought that Atticus was mocking her but he wasn't. She said that she brought tom into the house to get him a nickel, then he was right behind her and going after her, and she fought back as best as she could. She is kind of convincing, but Atticus wasn't.
3. I think Tom Robinson was convicted because of the matter he was a Negro. Jem thought it was wrong and it should not of happened to him.
4. He felt sorry because she had nobody around to be friends with.
5. Nothing much happens with the Radley's during that chapter other than Jem believes that the Radley's stay inside their house because they want to.
6. Aunt Alexandria doesn't want Walter Cunningham to come over because she believed he was trash. Scout doesn't like it and started sobbing on the way to her bedroom.
7. Jem changed his version of bravery when Atticus got spat by Mr. Ewell on because he did nothing to make the problem worse than it already was.
8. Back then I think the white mans word are tooken over a black mans because they were believed to be dirty and cruel. I think this is not true today. I also believed that in some places are still racially based today.

1.Describe what Peter does to deal with his jealousy and the lessons he learns from his behavior.

Heidi: Assignment 8- Parris
1.In chapter 8, Peter deals with his jealousy by pushing Klara's wheelchair down the mountain. When Peter accidentally confesses to the grandmama, she tells him that it is okay but that he shouldn't have done that even though it caused a miricle. She also gives him a wish and he asks for two pennies every week.
2.The Alm Uncle belived that goat's milk from Schwanli would in his words "make her strong." He also thought that the fresh mountain air would do her some good too.
3. Heidi's role in Klara's rehabilitation is important. First of all, Heidi is the one that convinced Klara to try and walk. Klara also wants to walk for her and show her that she can do it.
4.I think three of Heidi's most important traits are outgoing, honest, and innocent. She always looked on the bright side and that makes everyone happy and not as down in a bad situation.
