Book/movie review
John Kasson (1978) stated, “…an essential element of Coney Island’s appeal for virtually all its visitors was the contrast it offered to conventional society, everyday routine, and dominant cultural authorities.” (41) Based on your reading of Amusing the Million: Coney Island at the Turn of the Century, analyze how this statement was demonstrated by/at the attractions on Coney Island, using examples from at least three attractions.
