1.  Write a question that you think would produce an interesting discussion about Legends of the Fall. Think about the closing of the frontier and its effects on the characters in the film and the people in your readings. Is there some sense in which these characters and people demonstrate "frontier" values. What are these values? Do Americans still have such values. Who and/or what has (have) disappeared from this set of stories we tell ourselves about who we were and are? Try to tie you question to specific incidents in the film.
