Examples of this include the films of the 1940s that hoped to arouse support for the struggle against Nazi Germany( e.g. Casablanca) ,the alien invasion films of the 1950s that reflected the US fear of communism (e.g. War of the worlds), films supporting the fight for equal rights for black people in the late 1950s and 1960s (e.g. The Great White Hope, To Kill a Mockingbird), and explicit films which depicted society’s newly…

there is a possibility that we could face the same fate that the characters in both books have faced. Though we flourish as a society, too much of anything is never a good thing.
