It is easy to see that the movie “The Birds,” was not as good as the story written by Daphne du Maurier. However there are some scenes in both the story and the movie that were captured better in one of the two. Firstly, in both the short story and the movie, there was both a scene where the birds attacked the main characters inside their house.

In the movie, members of the town are at a local diner with the town sheriff talking about the attacks. As people are talking about accounts of the birds attacking, the sheriff just doesn’t not believe them. In the short story, Nat goes to the kitchen to tell Mrs. Trigg about the bird encounters.

She added sentences in to express the fact that Ms. Trigg does not believe what she is hearing. For and example, the author adds in this sentence: “Mrs. Trigg stared at him doubtfully” indicating that she’s not buying it. In the movie the sherif
