The Berenstain Bears and the Truth Written and Illustrated by Stan and Jan Berenstain This book tells the story of the Berenstain Bear family on a normal, boring day at their house in the country. Brother and Sister Bear are left home alone and get into an argument about what to do. They decide to have a soccer ball dribbling contest in the house, which they know is against the rules! While they are dribbling the ball, they lose control of it and knock over Mama Bear’s favorite lamp. When Mama Bear is returning home from the store, Brother Bear hides the soccer ball so she cannot see it.
Afraid of people, and brought to the wilderness by her grandmother, she escapes the crowded manufacturing town she had lived in the previous eight years of her life. Everyone notices an improvement in her well-being but “as for Sylvia herself, it seemed as if she never had been alive at all before she came to live at the farm” (Jewett 1588). Sylvia had been unable to embrace society or make friends with her peers, and she still remembers with fear a boy, “the great red-faced boy who used to chase and frighten her” (Jewett 1589), from the crowded town in which she used to live. She befriends animals; not humans, and it is therefore when she initially hears a whistle on her walk home she sees it “not a bird’s whistle which would have a sort of friendliness, but a boy’s whistle, determined, and somewhat aggressive” (Jewett 1589). This whistle represents Sylvia’s fear of people in general, and the man who made it represents a part of the crowded town she had left as a child of eight.
Another scene in the book that was different from the movie was when George and the rest of the guys except for Lennie, Candy, and Crooks go into town.

Candy comes in and talks to Lennie about the rabbits they will have on their own land. Curley’s Wife comes in and talks about how she never get to talk to anyone and how she’s lonely.
Being kept away from Maycomb all that time eventually made him go mad.

He was not in there for too long because Mr.Radley had to bring him back home so he would not die from the mold growth.
