Inherit The Wind Research Paper

Billie Wind is a fifteen-year-old girl that is punished and sent away to the Everglades for not having faith in her tribe’s legends. Billie is in the Seminole tribe, and she is known to be a doubter of the legends her tribe has faith in. “But we agree that you should be punished for being a doubter” (3).The legends that Billie does not believe in are the Calusa tribe and the serpent. The Calusa tribe are tiny people that live under the railroad. The serpent is a giant snake roaming the immense Everglades. As she is on her expedition, she meets exceptional friends that help her identify her understandings of her tribe’s legends. During Billie Wind’s journey, she

You may not know it but you also own a portion of the common land in Windrush. There are five small parcels of land that total 5.674 acres of common property that that you own 1/39th of the land in total. Meaning, you own a portion of the whole but not a specific piece of the land. If you owned 1,000 shares of a Corporation that had 10,000 shares outstanding, you couldn’t go in and claim a tenth of the business. You own a tenth of the whole. Now don’t you feel richer for that? We all own that land and we are all responsible for caring for that land. Furthermore, we all get to use that land within the rules established by the Property Owner’s Association, (POA). There is a Corporation that owns the land of which we are all voting shareholders

Written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, the play Inherit the Wind is a fictitious spin off of the historical Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, which hotly debated the concept of evolutionism vs. creationism and, in general, a person’s right to think. Overall this play shows the growth of many different types of characters. One of these characters would be Rachel Brown, the reverend's’ daughter, as well as Bert Cates love interest. She is torn between her love for Bert and her loyalty to her father, the Reverend Jeremiah Brown. At the beginning of the play she fears her father and follows only what he says. As the play progresses Rachel becomes more confidant and starts to think for herself. By the end of the play she has created her own identity and completely separates herself from her father.

The play Inherit the Wind, was written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee to inform its readers about the injustice of a law that limited the freedom of an ordinary citizen. This play is based upon actual events that happened to an individual, John Scopes, in Dayton, Tennessee during the 1920’s. This famous “Monkey Trial” not only allowed people to begin to accept new theories about the origin of man, but also showed that they did not have to limit themselves in other areas of life.

Throughout the twentieth century, numerous dramas that were written in the United States presented ideas and situations that had the purpose of changing a reader’s attitude towards a specific subject. This is the case of the play “Inherit the Wind”, a piece written by the playwrights Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. Throughout the years, many literary scholars have argued whether or not “freedom of thought” has stood as a predominant theme in the play. While this issue may bring about countless debates, my respect towards others’ viewpoints has allowed me to pick a side and to defend it with textual evidence from the play itself. From my perspective, the main theme in Inherit the Wind is freedom of thought.

Inherit the Wind is about a 24-year-old teacher named Bertram T. Cates, who is arrested for teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution to his junior high-class. Some high-profile Hillsboro town’s people press charges and have Cates arrested for teaching evolutionism in a stringent Christian town. A famous lawyer named Henry Drummond defends him; while a fundamentalist politician Matthew Harrison Brady prosecutes. The story takes place in Hillsboro, which is a small town in Tennessee. Cates is merely trying to teach to his class that there is more to life than just what the Bible teaches. He is not trying to be nonreligious; rather he is just teaching his class to think outside the box. The town’s people think that Cates is trying to push

	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

The battle between the relationship of science and religion has always been a controversial topic in society. It has been a subject of study since the classical era from scientists, theologists, philosophers, and regular citizens. It is understandable that the perspective on culture and religion are unquestionably varied due to different geographical regions, but why are there so many heated debates regarding the global discussion and what is it that causes those controversies? Is it possible that there is more than two outlooks and theories? Jerome Lawrence and Robert E.Lee contrasts the two perspectives in Inherit the Wind by bringing back an historical and legendary trial. Matthew Harrison Brady, an established lawyer in America demonstrates his ideology in God. Addition to Mr. Brady, his arch nemesis, Henry Drummond, defends his morals by expressing his vision that evolution is where human come from.

Creationism or Evolutionism? God or Darwin? This is a topic that has been debated for many years. Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee dared to search for the long-awaited answer. Lawrence and Lee wrote Inherit the Wind based off of the true events of the Scopes Monkey Trial. The authors used characters, such as Matthew Brady, Henry Drummond, and Reverend Brown, to develop a theme of an individual’s power to change society.

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.

To seek the truth, one must look beyond the surface of things, for they are not always as they appear to be. This is a major theme in Lawrence and Lees’ Inherit the Wind, and is effectively shown through many characters. Firstly, through Golden Dancer, and secondly through Henry Drummond, who tells her story. Lastly, this powerful theme is shown through Matthew Brady, who Drummond is actually referring to. The theme of illusion vs. reality is clearly shown in the play Inherit the Wind, through the story of Golden Dancer, which was told by Drummond, an example of such himself, when he spoke of Brady, who as well effectively portrayed this significant theme.

I’m Tim. Greetings my brothers! When thinking of March, I don’t think of MARCH MADNESS; I reflect about the wind. (Remember I’m from Georgia…we don’t get excited about basketball.) Growing up on the farm, spring breaks were for plowing or planting. I can remember coming home at the end of the day covered in dirt and dust from riding the tractor on a windy day. Also in my memory banks is the unique sound made by a breeze rushing through the pines. I never really thought much of it then, but the wind has a whole new meaning for me now. Genesis Chapter 1 starts with: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of

“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush, who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years, which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn't rise a great deal afterward, this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose ‘fuel’ is free and will never be exhausted” (3) with the pros and cons not completely weighed out as to whether it will be truly beneficial or not. The two main issues regarding wind turbines are the environmental effects that they have and the

Founded in 1981, Wind Technologies (WT) has been a supplier of many different varieties of weather related radar and instrumentation. In 1986 the company focused its production on wind profiling radar systems that measure wind and atmospheric conditions. Management of Wind Technologies felt as though this consolidation would position the company as an industry leader in the future in a market that would have little competition. This consolidation was mainly due to being purchased by Vaitra, a high technology European firm. Vaitra made it possible for Wind Technologies to focus its operations mainly due to its large financial support. Since commercial sales were less than stellar since the buyout Vaitra’s financial support

Both Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee and “Colorado’s long history-and uncertain present- with the KKK and other hate groups” by Noelle Phillips show how a conflict of values make us stronger as people and as a nation. A conflict of values can make people stronger through bringing them together. When people’s beliefs are challenged, they unite against those who do not agree with them. They join with others who have the same ideals as them. This concept is shown in both readings. In Inherit the Wind, every citizen believes fully in the bible and does not accept the theory of evolution. Bert, a schoolteacher, is put on trial for teaching his students about Darwin’s theory of evolution. The trial causes a conflict of values in the citizens of the town. The conflict is the bible vs evolutionism. This conflict causes the citizens to come together against those who do not believe in the bible. The citizens had a prayer meeting in which Reverend Brown stated, “Do we call down hellfire on the man who has sinned against the word?” (Lee, Lawrence 66). The citizens responded with, “Yes!” (Lee, Lawrence 66). Because Bert went against their beliefs, the citizens were fine with cursing him. They did not think it was wrong because he questioned their faith. The conflict of values caused by the trial did not because the city to be broken apart, but instead brought them together against the person who challenged their beliefs.
