Adhemar: “Let the past die. You've done well, in my absence, on the field and off, so I'm told, winning trophies, horses, women.” William: “Do you put them in that order?” Adhemar: “Generally, with a few exceptions.

Sport, recreation, and play changed significantly over the course of the 19th century in the United States because work changed significantly. The country moved from an agricultural society, where citizens worked at home and had little time for recreation to one in which the industrial revolution introduced mass production and mass distribution and with it, new concepts of time, space and economic realities. This led to the transformation and modernization of sports as we know it. In the mid…

Every story has protagonists choosing between moral issues- issues of right and wrong. Their choice depicts the series of events that take place through out the story. The film and story we experienced in class were some of the first stories to use these themes. They use them similarly and differently making both of these stories great and unique in their own way.
