PRESENTATION OUTLINE
1. The director skipped a lot of the beginning of the novel to where the real drama and action began. For example, they did not show whether or not Aunt Alexandra came to live with the Finches or not.
The director didn't choose to add in the beginning parts of the novel probably because it wasn't as important to spend a lot of time on filming it and wanted to get right to the action scenes.
2. After Tom Robinson lost the trial, Atticus was told he had been shot once and died trying to escape, but in the novel, he was told that Tom had been shot 17 times.
This scene was probably changed because being shot 17 times may have been too harsh for the viewers watching because of the fact that he is African American.
3. Jem and Scout found gum wrappers and items in a tree hole by the Radley's house on their way home from school every morning but in the movie, Jem found them just on a random day outside their house not near the school.

I think the director chose to change this up to make the viewers more curious about what each item meant and why each of the items were related to them.
4. At the trial of Tom Robinson, Mayella Ewell started shouting and breaking apart in the movie, but in the novel, she was just a quiet, shy girl who didn't really speak up for herself.
