To Kill A Mockingbird, The Movie.
The movie and the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, are quite different. The book says that Scout was the one to find all the stuff in the knot in the tree, but the movie shows Jem finding all of it. I think that when Atticus shoots the mad dog, he doesn't want to. I think that he doesn't want to show his kids that he is good at shooting because they don't have guns, and he doesn't want them to have guns. When Scout starts talking to Mr. Cunningham in front of the jail, she doesn't know what she's doing, and she feels bad because she thinks that she hurt his feeling. Scout thinks that she hurt his feelings becuase he looked upset. I think that he was upset because he didn't have the courage to kill Tom Robinson anymore. When Scout jumps in front of Atticus, it's kind of like she is saving a mockingbird from being killed. I think that because at the end of the book, when Tom actually gets killed, Mr. Underwood refers to his murder/death as "the senseless slaughter of a songbird" which is basically saying that Tom is a mockingbird.

I think you're right about them leaving out a bunch of stuff, but here's a thought to ponder: Does the story suffer as a result of that stuff missing? What do you think?
