Over a century later, the idea of the cakewalk is still around but in an appropiated form. The name and the prize remains the same but the actual action is different. In present day, the cakewalk is a game that is played at gatherings, in school, or even small carnivals. The object of the game is to walk around on the labeled areas on the ground(oftentimes a number) while music played in the background. When the music stopped, two winners would be claimed by selecting a number. In order for the winners to be chosen fairly, the organizer would draw a number from a hat or have a number land on the wheel. The people who’s numbers showed up will receive the prize of a cake. This game is completely different from that of the original cakewalk. From the object of the cakewalk down to the meaning behind it. The new cakewalk is a game that is enjoyed by many and the possibility of the participants being unaware of its origins is very high. If the game is going to be done, at least people should know the history behind it.
