Title: John Steinbeck's "The Forgotten Village"
Review: The story set in rural Mexico is timeless in its message on the human condition. It cleverly conveys the struggle in Society between the myths and superstitions of the past, and the advent of modern technology that puts to rest such misguided notions. Particularly the work focuses on the advent of modern medicine and sanitary practices versus the questionable practices of a witchdoctor or old wiseman, and the struggle of the people of "The Forgotten Village" to come to terms with and accept the methods of modern medicine. A brief interesting interlude into cinematographic technology and its role in conveying the message of modern medicine to the "The Forgotten Village" is provided.
