.... the movie they had to start the story differently. In the beginning of the movie, Granny Weatherall makes a white cake. In the story, it mentions a “white veil and . . . the white cake” that she has set out some 60 years later for her wedding to George that never took place. According to the video, she made the cake just because she wanted to. Another thing different is that the story starts out with Granny Weatherall lying in bed with Doctor Harry examining her.
