prompts include drawing a comparison between the characters Will Kane in High Noon and Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.  To compare and contrast these two characters, use incidents from the respective films.  Who are these characters?  What is their motivation? In what ways might they be similar?  How do they differ?  One needs to consider the different times in which the two films are set as well as the different times, literally, the two films were made.  1952 and 1976, respectively. (For example, the Kenndey assassination, Vietnam, the moon landings, and Watergate happened between those years.)
