Inherit The Wind-PEA Essay

This year as a class we have read 2 different books. One of these books was at the beginning of the school year called “lorde of the flies.” In this book there are a bunch of kids stranded on an island due to a plane crash with no parental supervision. You see how different you are in a life where there are no rules and how savage you become when you put on a mask. These boys tested each other and themselves and at the end of the day got some people killed. The other book we read this year was Hamlet. This book was about a young prince whose father had died and his mother marries his uncle soon after. Hamlet was still grieving as his mother and uncle are having their incestual wedding. Hamlet also sometimes sees his father as a ghost and the ghost tells him that Hamlet's uncle killed the king (who is the ghost speaking to him) and this causes only cauas. Hamlet too feels alone like the boys in lord of the flies and begins doing things he never thought he would. These books opened my eyes to how different people become depending on the situation they are in and depending on how ruthless you are willing to be. I know now that if something bad happens to learn how to forgive the way Hamlet couldn’t and to let go of things.

Jonathan Edwards is a pastor at a church. Both Henry and Edwards used their position to help them persuade their listeners. Their position showed power and with power by saying in paragraph 5, “Let everyone that is Christ now wake up” telling his congregation, for sake of themselves. As for Henry, he uses his power within him by being elected, which is something the convention should be mindful when listening to his speech. In his speech to the Virginia Convention, according to paragraph 11, Henry says “we are not weak” then he goes on to say “we make a proper use of the means which the God of our nature hath placed in our power.” By saying this Henry shows that he stands for all of them in his position and makes his power known that he means only business for his freedom. While knowing Patrick Henry and Jonathan Edwards both give their thoughts and opinions freely according to “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and “ Speech to the Virginia Convention”. They are very powerful and persuasive to their congregation and to their convention all while influencing

Henry first displayed ethos by respecting opposing viewpoints among the hostile crowd in the House of Burgesses. He states, “But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope that it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve” (Henry 226). Patrick Henry recognizes the magnanimity of the situation at hand and is cautious towards the emotions that he could evoke from his hostile audience. To disarm the crowd and ease them into his speech, Henry displays respect towards the other arguments and gains a similar respect and attention towards his own argument in

Additionally, family members greatly help each other develop into moral adults by instilling in each other values that will ultimately determine an individual’s character.

He politely acknowledged “different men often see the same subject in different lights”[5] and that his aim was to express his sentiments unreservedly regarding the debate on whether Americans should fight for their freedom or remain enslaved by the British rule. Henry hoped his fellow delegates would not see his sentiments as disrespectful. He also told his audience that they had a responsibility towards America and God to seek the truth and that if he held back his opinions for fear of offending others; he would be

At the beginning of the film, The Great Debaters, Henry Lowe is seen as conceited, philandering and impulsive. However, during the course of the movie we find out that Henry is just a kid who has been through a lot including watching his parents become slaves to the white. He has seen things and is at lost about how to deal with it and so he drinks his problems away. Through Professor Tolson’s lessons and training, He becomes more mature and responsible.

Hamlet's "fall of a sparrow" speech, Shakespeare's well-known citation of Matthew 10:29, and Ecclesiastes 3:15 is a summary of God's view of time: "That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God required that which is past" (King James Translation). The Preacher first states that the past is the present, a familiar perception, but then makes the paradoxical claim that the future has already happened in the past (Carson 1995).
