Paper Summary:

The paper talks about the comparison between the 1930's novel, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?", and the film with the same title, which adapted the storyline written by Horace McCoy. It explains how the novel deals with the issue of the Great Depression and how the movie, created at a later date, softens the image of this period.

From the Paper:

"With its structure, storyline and expression the novel can be stated to be giving a murky glance at both, human disposition and human psychology. To say the least this is fast moving, atrocious crime novel. These elements are exposed through the participation of "Couple 22" in a marathon dance contest being held in the state of California. The competition turns out to be a symbol of the severe and relentless drudge and toil of real life."
