In the first list, I recorded play-by-play information. In the second list, however, I was more selective, and only recorded information that appealed to me. I enjoyed observing the relationship and connection the mother and son had with each other. Though both lists have many physical interactions, the mother and sons interactions were precious. The second list has more meaning to it, while the first list contains purely actions.
