Bert Cates Inherit The Wind

Whether you are a believer in the Bible, Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, or both. Inherit the Wind is a play that expands on the importance of being able to accept both in society. Bertram Cates was a teacher of Hillsboro, Tennessee, who was arrested for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution to his biology class. Anything that is said against the creation of man and the Bible was considered a crime. The prosecutor of the case was Matthew Harrison Brady, a beloved politician and religion enthusiast. Mr. Brady had a variety of characteristics, positive and negative ones, which greatly influenced the outcome of the case. He can efficiently manipulate and influence the opinions of others, he was overconfident, and ignorant. Despite these inferior

What are characteristics of two women from different stories have in common. Each lady lived in different geographic area from one another, but both stories had shown the similar reflection of their lives style back to that early century. Miss. Emily from “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner was a single woman who grew up in a wealthy family and was the only child of Griesons. However, Emily was unlucky person. She did not enjoy her life that much as the family’s business was in trouble and the father died too soon. As he left her alone and with nothing, petty Emily was heartbroken and afraid to face with some of her father obligation. At that time, she also found the lover that people thought he could help her

Throughout the novel Kindred, Butler compared and contrasted modern African Americans with African Americans that were slaves in the novel. Some of the many ways she compares them are through education, work ethic, and their personal feelings about and/or how they handle their own slavery.

The text can only say so much. Your background and personal history will influence the world of play. Your perception of who should be or how to portray these characters may be different from someone else. This can affect the storytelling and the feasibility of the character being portrayed. The portrayal of Stupid Fucking Bird was a failure in my eyes. Its use of audience participation and a characterization much like reality tv shows was a major turnoff to me. Opinions are objective. After discussion with my classmates and my own wife, the general consensus was that it was a hit. As I move on beyond this class, It will be important to quiet my preconceived thoughts and be able to adapt to further the success of those around

In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, you can compare many character’s characteristics to one another. Such as how they speak or present themselves. These characteristics can also be shown through the views of another character within the novel. Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell's Court statements can be compared when questioned by their lawyers and cross examined.

One similarity between the two characters is that the people in their society have not yet met their true personas. The grandmother portrays herself differently around her son and grandchildren as for Emily Grierson, the people in her hometown hardly ever see her. She is mostly known for her father’s reputation.

Most Americans often compare themselves with characters from their favorite movie or book. In fact, some people may even visualize themselves as their favorite character when they are watching a movie or reading a book. I relate most with the movie character Tip from the animated movie Home. Tip is very similar to me because she loves traveling and sight-seeing, she adores her pets, and she would do anything for her mom.

The Play Inherit the Wind is filled with individuality and opinions. These opinions and ideas show the importance of being your own person and that is the main purpose of the play. The play sends the message of individuality many times and it truly makes an impression on readers. These ideas are portrayed through the characters by the unique things, ideas, views and quirks of all the characters throughout the trial and the play as a whole.

     After studying the short stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” and Willa Cather’s “Paul’s Case”, I began to see many similarities within the two stories. Both of the main characters in each story have characteristics that could be looked at as being alike, but after analyzing each character I started to find that although alike in some aspects, these two characters are very different from one another. At first I noticed that both Goodman Brown and Paul are starved for attention, but in different ways. Next, I see that each character has issues with their past and are both trying desperately to overcome them. Finally, I found that each character’s main goal in

Similarities and differences are present between nearly anything. For instance, two books can be compared in regards to their themes. Likewise, multiple people can be contrasted in regards to their personality. Similarities and differences can be good and bad and they can also help one to clearly see which of the subjects that are being compared are better than the other. Another example of where two subjects can be compared is in Macbeth and The Social Network, in regards to the characters. One may wonder how such different pieces of work could possibly be compared and contrasted, but after analyzing both pieces, it is clear that such similarities and differences exist. Characters

Although characters may not appear to be similar on the surface, some can be found by digging deep. Two unexpected characters in Harper Lee’s, To Kill a Mockingbird, clearly have many similarities along with differences. To Kill a Mockingbird captivates a racist town through the eyes of six-year-old Scout. Tom Robinson has been accused of raping Mayella Ewell, the daughter of Bob Ewell, an alcoholic living on welfare. Scout’s father Atticus, is attempting to prove the innocence of Robinson, a black man, who is accused of rape; an almost hopeless case in such a segregated city. Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell both have a reputation that precedes them, and both face discrimination. Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell have different personal

While there are many comparable characters between the story and the film, the most prominent similarities are with Jon Anderton and Guy Montag. For example, both men had government jobs in the beginning that they both deemed was ‘respectable’, but in the end had betrayed to follow their own free will. In “Fahrenheit 451”, Guy’s wife Mildred had turned him in after an incident regarding her and her friends, while similarly in “Minority Report”, Jon’s ex-wife Lara had informed Burgess of Jon’s arrival in secret. Beatty and Lamar Burgess are also comparable, as they both were leaders of an association that was intended to prevent an action even though they both committed the crimes, and they both died at the hands of the protagonist.

People can look alike, yet be very different. One of the best examples from literature of people who look almost alike, but are very different are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton from “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens. Although Sydney Carton looks nothing but a worthless person than Charles Darnay, as the book progresses, Carton seems to be changing.

In "A Rose for Emily" and "Barn Burning," William Faulkner creates two characters worthy of comparison. Emily Grierson, a recluse from Jefferson, Mississippi, is an important figure in the town, despite spending most of her life in seclusion. On the contrary, Abner Snopes is a loud, fiery-tempered man that most people tend to avoid. If these characters are judged by reputation and outward appearance only, the conclusion would be that Emily Grierson and Abner Snopes are complete opposites. However, despite the external differences, these two characters have surprisingly similar personalities.

When the same person features in the literature of two different stories written by the same author, they often show differences between behavior and description.
