Inherit the Wind
The main theme of Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee is taking a stand. The play begins in Hillsboro, Tennessee when a man named Bertram Cates breaks the law by teaching the forbidden Darwin’s Theory. The most famous orators of the time, Matthew
Harrison Brady and Henry Drummond came to this small religious town of Hillsboro. Brady is prosecuting against Cates and Drummond is defending him. After days of battle, the verdict is

Brady did not know how much Drummond knew about the Bible but instead he believed all the rumors he heard about
Drummond be agnostic.
Brady thought everything in the Bible should be taken literally and Drummond knew that.
That is why he asked questions that were impossible to answer. Brady was a very self-centered man and thought that he would shut Drummond down with his answers. He was wrong.

Everything he thought was wrong except for one thing: the interests of Right and Justice was served for Bertram Cates. Many more things could have happened to Brady for taking the stand. Some things that did happen were that people began to side with Drummond and Cates.
Brady began to have a nervous breakdown because he knew that Drummond got the better of him. It is too bad, I thought that Drummond would have won the case. That is not what happened though. Brady won and Bertram Cates was found guilty and fined $100.00 which was soon to be changed to $500.00 due to Drummond and Cates’ actions and attitudes toward the judge. The trial’s turning point was when Brady took the stand. I believe that was a horrible decision because if Brady never took the stand many people would still see his side. I do not think that what
Last Wednesday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York declined to reconsider its April decision not to overturn four-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady’s four-game suspension, handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in May 2015. Consequently, the New England Patriots quarterback recently ended his fight against the punishment, deciding to forego his final option of appealing to the Supreme Court.
Tom Brady deserves to be on my ESPN magazine cover because he the greatest football player of all time. He is a 5x Super Bowl Champion, 4x Super Bowl MVP, and a 12x time Pro Bowler. Tom Brady has conquered an enormous amount of adversity. Tom Brady struggled to earn a starting spot at the University of Michigan throughout his college career. After he finished college, he continued to face adversity in the NFL. At the combine Brady was seen as one of the lowest quarterbacks in the combine. He ran a 5.28 on the 40 yard dash and this combine report was written about him: poor build, skinny, lacks great physical stature and strength, lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush, lacks a really strong arm, can’t drive the ball downfield, does not
After the game in a press conference, Brady complained about the footballs being too heavy.
To start off, Tom Brady has broken a lot of records. Some of his records include the most super bowl wins by a quarterback, most super bowl MVP selections, has won twenty five of the thirty four playoff games he has started in, has been selected to twelve pro bowls, and he has the most divisions won by a single quarterback (Doeden). For instance, he also has led the Patriots from a losing team to a winning team. With Tom Brady starting at quarterback the Patriots have never had a losing season (Doeden). In addition, he also has broken records for his stats. One of the records he broke was the best Touchdown to interception ratio of 28-2, because of this he wants to play until he is fourth eight (Reyes). At this years Super Bowl he had a great game. The Patriots overcame a twenty five point deficit and took the game to the first Super Bowl overtime game, he threw his first post season pick six ever after playing in thirty four playoff games, and in the last six possessions of the game he lead his team to four touchdowns and a field goal (Craig). After all, he did this all while his family was going through tough times. His mom was battling cancer and Brady dedicated the win to her (Hofforth). This is why Tom Brady is the best quarterback to ever live.
This case falls into criminal case law. This is known from the title of the case being R v Davis, R being the Queen and Davis being the accused. In addition, the conviction was based off of laws that were broken listed in the Criminal Code of Canada.

Procedural History: Prosecutors unhappy with the jury’s decision appealed the case to the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors. The Court than included Palko confession and ordered a new trial, the defendant attorney objected claiming the new trial would be in violation of the Fifth Amendment; of double jeopardy. However,
The reason why i think that this is the most important reason why is that a Super Bowl is the main goal heading into a season and when you achieve that goal five times that’s impressive (“Tom”, Biography). Which Peyton Manning has done it twice but that’s nothing to Brady. Plus Peyton Manning only played good in one of those Super Bowls while Brady has never played a bad Super Bowl in his career (“Peyton”, Biography). The recent Super Bowl was the Patriots vs Falcons and the final score in that game was 34-28, it will go down in history as one
During halftime of the game the referees tested the balls and they were underinflated. The NFL announced that Tom brady would be suspended for four games in the 2016 season. Tom brady did not think it was fair for the NFL to accuse him without evidence, so Brady took the NFL to court. Brady did smash his phone before the NFL could investigate and use it for evidence a good reason some people would accuse Brady of being involved. After the season of 2015-16 was over the NFL announced that Tom Brady's four game suspension was back into full force. I do not think Brady will try to appeal this time, because he beat the court twice and what is the point when they come back and suspended him anyways. Everyone has their own opinion so what is yours did Brady really
Tom Brady's first year in the NFL was not fun. He was only able to play one game due to the fact that the quarterback position was filled. The next season would be a different story due to the fact that Drew Bledsoe the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots went down with an injury. Tom Brady silenced the doubters with 11 wins and 3 losses. That year Tom Brady took the Patriots to the Super Bowl against the St Louis Rams and won.
Tuesday, June 23th was not just any ordinary quiet day for the press. Reporters camped out in front of the NFL headquarter trying to get their hands on any latest information about Tom Brady’s appeals hearing. It opened at 9:30 ap and lasted for about 10 hour.
The trial in Inherit the Wind is far from being fair, since more than half of the people in the court room are against Cates from the beginning for teaching their children about evolution and not about what’s in the Bible. Also with everyone rooting for Brady to win the case, and the town’s people also throwing him a parade to celebrate his arrival, and also had a picnic in his honor “Sound the trumpet, beat the drum. Everybody’s come to town. (The crowd surges back, augmented,
Having the label of colonel applied to his name only increases his perceived appearance of power and knowledge. The locals feel inferior to Brady’s intellectual persona radiating from his ego. This is identical to cults where the members feel inferior as common folk, compared to the omnipresent director. Like many cultic leaders, Brady eventually falls victim to realism and practicality. Brady is no expert on the Bible and that is made abundantly clear during the trial. He is wise enough to recall major key elements, and has also committed many Biblical passages to memory. However, he is naïve and poorly versed on the literal translation of some controversial facets of the Bible, which in turn destroy his credibility during cross-examination by Drummond when he takes the stand.
The jury brings a guilty verdict and the judge charges Cates a fee of $100 dollars. Brady collapses and shortly afterward dies. Rachel and Cates decide to leave the town together. The play ends with Drummond alone in the courthouse with a copy of Darwin’s Origins of Species and Bible, which he puts them together in his briefcase.
Hillsboro, Tennessee has always been a quiet town, filled with citizens that believe they can successfully focus their life around religion. However, a case breaks out in regards to an illegal topic that was taught in a public school classroom. The media then flocks to get coverage of the case in a town which rejects outside ideals. Much of this
