Overview
Hi, I used film "glory road" as my topic.
This term, we have seen how sports stories can connect to historical moments and sociological concepts. Greek philosophical ideas help us understand the idea of the hero. The history of civil rights in the U.S. helps us understand the film 42. Gender issues surface in Dare to Dream. There is always a context for our stories. Sometimes it is spelled out in the story, and sometimes there are aspects that are not explicitly considered. For this assignment, you will be researching an idea that reaches a sports story beyond the bounds of the details of the story as presented in a film or piece of literature. For example, A League of Their Own is a film that uses sports to reveal how women's societal roles were changing, in great part due to World War II. This topics clearly could be researched to develop a thesis such as: A League of Their Own is much more than a movie about the first women's professional baseball team; it also tells the story of the changing roles of women in US society during World War II.
