__** To Kill a Mocking Bird **__

To kill a mockingbird has a great amount of dynamic characters and static characters. A dynamic characters experiences change. For example, Jem changes into a young man, and realizes justice should be given to all people. A static character does not experience change, also is not really a major character in the story. For example, Atticus did not go through change, although he is a major part of the story. Strategic events such as the trial of Tom Robinson have made a big impact on the Finch family. Jem and Scout both learn about what is right and wrong. Atticus was a big help because he was supporting Tom Robinson unlike the others who turned against him. Movies of course are visual. For example, if the book said “ A glowing light when to her face.” In the movie a light down the hall goes to her face. Basically you are supposed to imagine what was on the book in the movie. The difference is you are seeing it in the characters point of view. They might take out a few pages then accurately describe it.

Jem has ways of showing his childish acts, For example, Jem went to the Radley’s house knowing that his father Atticus told him not to go anywhere near that house. Once Jem touches the doorbell he runs off, also ends up getting his pants caught on an object on the Radley’s yard. Which basically is a lesson for not obeying his father. Jem finally noticed encouragement when his father Atticus was defending Tom Robinson. Seeing his father defending and being brave encouraged him. He realized his childish acts were not courageous. Scout changes her perspective of the Maycomb community as well as her family. Many things have influenced her such as the trial of Tom Robinson, school, Boo Radley, and the African American community which makes a huge impact on Scout, also changes the way she thinks and lives. An extremely important event that was not mentioned in the movie was when Calpurnia toke Jem and Scout to church which also changed them, because they see how African Americans have their difficult times. Jem and Scout also see that Calpurnia almost has a double life with the “black folks” and “white folks.” They also figure out that Helen Tom Robinson’s wife cannot have a job, because of Tom Robinson’s “awful actions.” A dynamic character is one that changes in the course of the plot. In my opinion when Calpurnia took the children to the church it made a huge difference, also it would be good for the viewer to experience the change Jem and Scout went through in the film. The film should of had that specific part, because it shows the viewer about who Calpurnia really is. It also showed how the black community truly is, and the way the white community treats them.
