More Cinematic and Literary Before & Afters

  1. To Kill a Mockingjay

Scout learns important lessons about life when she and her effeminate little friend Dil are chosen to represent their small Alabama community in a fight to the death ritual against tributes from other districts across the nation. Throughout she is armed with the moral compass her father gave her, a bow and arrow, and a suit of papier mache armor shaped like a ham.

It’s a before and after (examples here), but subjects should be book and-or movie titles…
