I can't believe "Mocking Bird Don't Sing" was based off a true story, which makes the story all the more alarming. The accuracy of the story was incredible! Tarra Steele got Genie's "bunny walk" characteristic down insanely well. The walk was almost that of a blind person. Since Katie was tied chair in a dark room for the first thirteen years of her life; she couldn't focus on more then twelve feet ahead of her. When Katie choose to speak most of her words were negative such as "stopit" and "no more." These were the some of the few words Genie could say when they first found her. I can't blame Katie's mother for moving Katie and forbidding any of the team to go near her. The team failed Katie because they treated her more like a guinea pig and were not focused on helping her. The team was focused most on proving the Lenneberg Theory wrong. The theory was proved right and the end of the movie when Katie's mother forbid the team from going near her.
