Both "The Giver" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" explore themes of social injustice and the importance of empathy. While "The Giver" is set in a dystopian society where emotions are suppressed, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is set in the racially segregated South during the Great Depression. Both novels feature young protagonists who challenge the norms of their societies and struggle against injustice.

Answer 3

There are several ways to compare the books. However, which way you compare it is based on your point of view, so there is no single correct answer. Several ideas are:

Racism

Gender Stereotypes/Equality

Family Relationships

Revenge and Justice

Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover

Social Classes/Divisions

Similarities of the Characters

There are much, much more, so feel free to think of some more ways the two books can be compared.

___________

Some themes could be the discrimination contained in both books (as Molly T mentioned). They also both had lawyers and a trial in each book, but they are on different things, so a theme could be how they see different "true" justices.

There is also male and female characters in each book that have different ways of doing things, so that may be compared, and used as a theme.

both book contain alot of racila prejudice

the family theme could also be applied

Answer 4

They're both about birds and innocence.

Both works use birds as symbols for their characters. The scarlet ibis in James Hurst's work represents the narrator's brother, Doodle; Harper Lee's mockingbird is used to represent the innocence of multiple characters, most notably Tom Robinson and Boo Radley.

Doodle and Scout, the two younger characters, are innocent characters. Their older siblings are more demanding: "brother" uses Doodle for his pride and selfishness, and Jem just tries to improve Scout when he started maturing.

Answer 5

In almost every single way except theese:

Differences:

-Aunt Alexandra, Uncle Jack, Mr. Link Deas, or Mr. Dolphus Raymond is not in the movie at all, only in the book

-In the Courtroom, Mayella does not say Atticus is mocking her at all in the movie

-Miss Stephanie and Miss Rachel are both one person in the movie also

-Miss Maudie's house goes up in flames in the book, but it doesn't in the movie or Miss Rachel's house isn't on fire either

-Scout and Jem do not visit Calpurnia's church with her in the movie

-The schoolroom scene where you learn of the Ewell's and Cunningham's is not included in the movie, only the fight after

-In the What_are_the_differences_in_To_Kill_A_Mockingbird_in_the_book_and_the_moviescene, Tom doesn't say "What my father does to me don't count" during his testimony of the event in the movie.

-The Finches don't go to Finches' landing for the Holiday in the movie

-The Radley story isn't really explained in the movie

-Mr. Ewell confronts Atticus at the robinson house instead of at the pharmacy and never says he was going to kill him in the movie.

-The entire pagent is also skipped in the movie. they cut to the walk back home. and in the movie, the schoolyard looks more like a forest than a schoolyard.

There's other differences but I can't fully remember them. But everything else is basically the same.
Scout is still the same little girl from the beginning of the book, but she has matured into an adult. She understands grown up things that usually little girls wouldn't understand. She learned to respect Boo Radley and she has learned that people are always nicer when you meet them.
