peace. ...

made into a movie. The movie, filmed under the
same title around that time, differs from the book
at some points. The main themes of the book and
the movie are different. While the novel mainly

attitude of society, the movie partially ignores
these, if not totally. The movie concentrates more
on the scenes dealing with Tom Robinsons case. The

organization, it denies its action. Pretending
that they just want to limit the right to bear
arms is their blanket of protection. They will
