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.
