To Kill A Mocking Bird Movie R
 <view this essay>.... old and cannot do anything.  This event happens a few minutes after the movie starts, while in the book, it happens close to the beginning but not as early as it is in the movie.  The third main reason is that many parts in the novel are different from the movie.  The parts are the same but they are expressed differently in the book and in the movie.  An example of this point is how Boo Radley is portrayed in the book and in the movie.

Fly Away Peter
 <view this essay>.... from us.
All I could think of is, “What am I doing,” on this sphere they call Earth, “why am I here” and more importantly why was Jim taken off this planet. Is life a metaphor for something bigger and if so, what is it? There is some comfort that I feel knowing that Jim has gone to a better place, a place that he knows is a sacred haven. As I looked at the perfectly formed white and peaceful dunes stretching endlessly along the coast I think of how transcendental and peaceful the beach is compared to where Jim was before he died.  When I think about the waste and lives that this war has ravaged, I feel like yelling out. I contemplate about how upset Jim’s f .....

 possess.
 	Richard states in his opening speech “Unless to spy my
 shadow in the sun/And descant on mine own deformity./ And
 therefore since I cannot prove a lover” (1.1.26-28). In this
 speech Richard admits he cannot be a lover because he is ugly
