Drugs, sex, and profanity are daily topics

Contrast of to Kill a Mockingbird Film and Book
One huge difference was the absence of Aunt Alexandra. Atticus' sister, Alexandra, was the thorn in Scout's side throughout the book. She always wanted Scout to act more like a lady. Towards the end, she became more like a mother in soothing Scout and trying to reassure her that Jem was not dead. I think Aunt Alexandra was a huge part of the story, and I think they should have kept her in the movie.

Genesis Vs. Paradise Lost (book Nine)
My purpose is to show that Milton’s Adam differs from that of Genesis. The two pieces of literature describe God’s creation of earth and mankind.

Another point where Milton’s Adam differs from that of Genesis is in the character
