Answer

The journal relays objective facts and details of the setting. The screenplay describes Steve's personal reaction to the trial.

The journal includes Steve's plan to prove his innocence. The screenplay includes Steve's view of the people he is accused of committing a crime with.

The journal includes Steve writing about himself in the first person. The screenplay includes Steve writing about himself in the third person.

The journal tells what the people around Steve are saying and doing. The screenplay relays Steve's inner thoughts and fears.

Explanation

Steve’s journal entries are written in first person, using “I” to describe his thoughts and experiences. In the screenplay, he presents himself as a character named Steve Harmon and describes him from the outside, in third person. So the correct statement is that the journal uses first person while the screenplay uses third person.
