To kill a mocking bird


The movie, To Kill A Mockingbird was remarkable.
All the characters; Scout, Jem, Calpurnia, Dill, and they're father were great actors.
Scout is somewhat of a tomboy. She is not afraid to put up a fight for her beliefs. She is smart for her age and has trouble in school because she can already read and write when she starts first grade. Jean Louise plays Scout (the main character)and for her age at that time, she was a great actress.
Thomas "Tom" Robinson is a 25-year-old black man who is accused of assaulting and raping Mayella Ewell. He is defended by Atticus Finch in his trial. As noticed by Scout, his left arm is useless and shriveled, which shows that it is not likely he beat Mayella because the bruises were on the right side of her face. He is found guilty of rape and is sentenced to death. I believe that he doesn't deserve that and Mayella Ewell was exaggerating the story.
