Tomorrow the short story and the movie

After reading the short story, Tomorrow, I really had no idea what was going on. The dialogue at the beginning and the end in the courtroom were confusing because I wasn't sure what was going on in the middle of the story. When we watched the movie in class, the story seemed alot simpler than I thought. The main part of the movie took place where Fentry was staying at the saw mill where he was working. Sarah, later his wife, was staying with him for most of the movie until she gives birth to her son. Sarah and Fentry decide to be married seconds before she dies after giving birth. She makes Fentry promise that he will always take care of her son and to raise it as it was his own. He promises her that he will take care of him and love him as if he was his own child and for her not to worry. I liked the movie because it helped me understand the plot a lot better, especially seeing it played out. The main difference from the story and the movie was the time that Sarah and Fentry spent together in his house. There wasn't as much time spent on the personal relationship that Fentry and Sarah develop. The movie was quite slow until the end when it picked up after Sarah's family finds Fentry and takes his son, claiming that he needs to be with his kin. In the movie, Fentry is a really quiet but gentle man. I actually feel really bad for him in the movie because it seems like that the only loves he has ever known in his life, his son and Sarah, were both taken from him after a short period of time. I like the story better than the movie because the movie was a little boring, but it definitely helped me understand what really happened in the story.
