Differences
Whereas the novel indicates that Scout and Jem failed to see Mr. Nathan cementing the old tree, the film depicts them witnessing the action.
The novel provides the scene where Jem visits Mrs. Dubois in her house to help her in reading despite being addicted to opiate while the film lacks the scene.
The novel indicates that Jem delayed until dark to return to Radley after losing his pants while the film shows him leaving immediately the pants get lost.

Whereas the novel demonstrates how Radley approaches Scout and Jem in his yard with a gun (Lee 54), the film shows him approaching after they had left and Jem returns for the pants (123Movies 1).
The novel illustrates how Calpurnia attends the court trial to inform Atticus of the behavior of Scout and Jem while the film shows Atticus walking from the court without Calpurnia talking to him.
The novel illustrates how the Finch family arrived at Maycomb while the film fails to show their arrival.
The novel mentions the members of the Finch Family including Jack and Alexandra, while the film fails to show them.
The novel demonstrates how the correctional officers shot Tom when he attempted to escape from the mob while the film shows the police deputies shooting him.
The novel indicates that Scot and Jem attended Calpurnia’s church in the absence of Atticus while the film fails to show the scene.
The novel depicts Mrs. Dubois referring to Atticus as a “nigger lover” (Lee 85) while the film shows Bob Ewell calling him that way (123Movies 1).

Expository Elaboration of the Vital Similarities and Differences
Significantly, both the novel and the film depict the prosecution of Tom, a black man for the rape of Mayella, a white woman, and Atticus, a white man as his lawyer (123Movies 1). They indicate how the other members of the society await the verdict and seek mechanisms of interventions based on their affiliations. In fact, both the novel and the film propel the theme of justice against the backdrop of racial discrimination in the society. Consequently, the most outstanding difference between the novel and the film entails Calpurnia attending the court session to inform Atticus of the conduct of Jem and Scout (Lee 74) that appears in the novel and lacks in the film. The entire storyline revolves around the prosecution of Tom for raping Mayella indicating the need for both the novel and the film to include all actions related to it. However, the film omits the scene due to the time constraints associated with the production of films. In essence, films require a shorter time to produce a story compared to the time allocated to writing a novel.
