In Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee’s tense drama, “Inherit the Wind”, three strong characters express powerful opinions: Bertrum Cates , Henry Drummond, and Mathew Harrison Brady. First, Bert Cates, the defendant, is charged with teaching “Darwinism” to his sophomore class . Second, Henry Drummond, the defense attorney for Cates, displays his beliefs of the right to think. third, Mathew Harrison Brady, the “big-shot” prosecuting attorney, illustrates his bigotry of creationism. To conclude, these three essential characters are fighting for their personal beliefs.
That is why he asked questions that were impossible to answer. Brady was a very self-centered
	Brady and Drummond, two former partners, beginning their legal lives working together. Now each one strives to be superior, confident in their ways and beliefs, trying to out-do the other. Despite a common goal, the two gradually became very different people, as is evident in the play and movie,Inherit the Wind. Throughout the years, as each one fought cases, established a name for themselves, and gained popularity (or notoriety), they kept a careful watch on the other. Learning of the others triumphs, which pushed them to try even harder, become more set in their ways, believing that their heterogeneous beliefs were right, and that if they kept those beliefs the focus of their existence, they could eventually prove themselves
Take a second and ask yourself this question. Who are you? Are you really that different than anyone else? Like most people, you probably fall into the small range of what our society has deemed society acceptable. You wake up in the morning head off to school or work, talk to all the same people, doing most all the same things. It's your routine, and it's all very comfortable and consistent. As just another victim of society you've lost your individuality, it's the product of fitting in and following the standards of our society. It's normal for people to thrive off the simplicity and routine of normal everyday life but for some people such as Chris McCandless everyday life is agony. Chris McCandless was a nonconformist who always managed to
Since my younger years I have been compelled to differentiate between enduring and overcoming. From my parent’s divorce, our financial instability and my multiple social dislocations, I had to learn to adapt to ever-changing environments and circumstances. Before my grandfather died he shared with me one of his favorite quotes and one that I will never forget, which says that, “the key to life is found by
Underneath the sound of my voice is a song, “Seminole Wind.” If I still myself long enough to stop bringing my own voice and words to life, the song gives me images. The scenery that unfolds in my mind’s eye belongs to the memories of a young girl, who was so confused.
I think Rachel was looking for the ways for her independence and willing to protect Bert during the trial. Rachel believed that Bert was innocent.
Debashish Mridha, an American physician, philosopher, poet, and author said, “Whatever happens in life happens to make you stronger. So fear not, accept it as a gift from the universe. Use the event to capture the essence of this journey we call life.” People get stronger from the journey not by reaching their destination. People should see that sometimes the journey is the best and most learning part of the trip not the destination. Everyone has a destinations that can include accomplishments, geographical destinations, death, the ultimate destination. Some learn and take the wisdom and experiences from the journey, and not the destination.
In the past, I fell victim to the notion of conformity that society demands. Society stresses both the importance of individuality and conformity; however, society cannot hold true to both ideals and the individual suffers— I lost my identity and sense of joy in the world. Conformity gave me the illusion that I had found a sense of belonging,
Each human life is an unpredictable term to define. No one know who going to be rich, who going to be poor and no one will never know about what will coming for them. In general, people usually say life is hard. When a person was born, they have a same starting point with another. They all have to go through education and experience. However, there are two main categories of people: people who born in a good and wealthy family and people who doesn’t lucky to have that. It’s easy to assume a child from a rich family might have a brighter future because them have provided a better condition. Otherwise, a child who raised in a poor family will have to train themselves hard to get a good outcome. In a novel “Where The Wind Leads” by Vinh Chung,
On the other hand, the more my mind evolve, the better I am able to take a sober look on myself, my habits, my nature and also to recognize my flaws. I want not only to survive, but also to feel good about myself. While human world of greedy consumerism is trying to exploit into pushing me to buy more things, this feeling can only be satisfied by rethinking my values and finding my true self and my place in this world, and it is unique for every human being. And I think the best way to do so is to step out from the human jungle and its rules and create my own ones. Social norms often become a burden for people who find a path that is different from the one the standardized one, but I don’t have to adapt ourselves into them. We all want to
Most of the time, my hometown of Wind Gap is very calm, with few major problems. My house is set back in the woods a few miles out of town. Our road back to our house actually is an old railroad bed so it isn’t paved and does have potholes, but my dad actually goes through and fills the potholes to take care of the road; he buys the stones and he uses his tractor to do it, which I help him with. The township doesn’t take care of it because it is a privately owned road, and different people own the property on the sides of the road. One man who owns a large chunk of the woods on the side of the road decided to do some logging a few weeks ago. He had a lot of machines and tractor trailers back on our road to cut down and transport the logs. Well, as they worked we could see the road was getting worse and worse because the machines were tearing up the road and there was all sorts of wood all over the road. Our neighbors and we were not very happy!
Since the beginning of time there has been two types of people... People who feel it is important to belong, and people who feel it is very necessary to stand out as an individual. The people who feel the need to be accepted and appertain somewhere, they usually are impacted by a variety of things in life, such as social media, drugs, etc. These things negatively impact their decisions. This influence can result with you doing things and saying things you wouldn’t normally say or do, you could unknowingly fall into their trap of endless disconsolateness. The certain type of people who feel the need to belong is the only way to be somewhat joyous during life, end up getting nowhere. The people who act how society wants them to act usually
In “ The Name of the Wind” Patrick Rothfuss once said, “ It’s like everyone tells a story themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.” Our identity is what we know ourselves by how others view us in the world. Their many identities that we have some examples are race, gender, fashion, class, sexuality, etc. All these identities shape the way we think, act, and view the world. We may not know it, but our identities impact one another either in a negative or positive way. Either we make our identities by our interests or what we feel like we should be viewed as. Some let others make their identity for them, they’re influenced by what they see on T.V. mainly by what celebrities are wearing. I know for me when I was younger I would watch all these NBA games and see these players wear Jordans. Jordan 's back when I was a youngin and still today where cool shoes you had popularity if you had Jordans. All the cool kids had Jordan 's and I wanted to be like that a cool kid. So I acted like someone I wasn 't, buying many pairs of Jordan’s (which are expensive) so I can fit in and so everyone can know me as a cool kid because as a little boy at Colonia Middle School I wanted to have recognition as the kid with the expensive shoes and the showy clothes. Also, I was pressured by my surroundings to buy these items because I saw a lot of kids being bullied for wearing inexpensive clothes and I didn 't
Sometimes I would always wonder if the Fates is much more confused than I am and it seem like every thing that happen in my life seem to be, unfortunately, a bad decision of someone else. Maybe that’s why I don’t have much of a choice to be able to do something, something great that is. Maybe that’s why my life is always a boring foggy haze and I’m the wind who is trying to blow the foggy haze away in a no-clear direction. If only I can give the Fates a piece of my mind but whenever I’m in a process of doing so, everyone around me would give me peculiar glances.
