A straightforward approach would be to compare the Western thematic elements of your two chosen examples to show how the genre has or hasn\u2019t changed over time based on this small sample. You could pick a single genre element we&#8217;ve discussed over the semester, from character traits to plot choices to the level of violence present and analyze how the two examples handle that element.
