Answer to Question 1

False.

Answer to Question 2

Students could discuss any type of Melodrama beginning with Uncle Tom's Cabin
and moving into classic motion pictures such as Gone with the Wind or Star Wars and how
Uncle Tom's Cabin focused more on the ideas of good versus evil and how Gone with the
Wind more epitomizes the romantic, idealist nature of Melodramas rather than setting out
to achieve all the goals that the play Uncle Tom's Cabin planned.
