Therefore, the novel demonstrates the behavioral and social conditions of the characters while paying close attention to the past. The novel is associated with the literary genre of historical fiction that aims to focus the plot of the novel on historical settings (Ramin and Mirandi 162). The novel’s context is set in the past on issues that occurred in New York City in the period between 19. The theme of change and connections between the novel and history of the period The novel, Ragtime, underscores the theme of change through the main characters by being accurate about the history of the period. The novel is relevant as it gives historical evidence of factual changes in the United States during the period 1902 to 1912 when it was set. The novel, Ragtime, is an example of works that have a historical setting. This assertion holds because they lack the authenticity of historical changes and thus invalid and inaccurate.
However, novels, movies, and other diverse works of literature that purport to convey historical information are ambiguous. These themes range from historical experiences to the day-to-day events.
