Use the link provided to find five key people or events or discoveries under each of the categories provided. When you've done that, you should be able to draw conclusions about:

How events and people in 1995 are reflected in Clueless?
What was different in 1816 and 1995?
What was similar in 1816 and 1995?
What concerns are shared by both composers?
