Inherit The Wind is a story written by Jerome Lawrence along with Robert E. Lee. That fallows the story of a school teacher named Bertram Cate, who is being put on trial for teaching the theory of evolution to his students when it is considered illegal in Tennessee at the time. this leads to a long debate over people’s right to think what the bible states. Now this story containers many characters with very different personalities and traits. The character that connects with me the most is Henry Drummond, who is the attorney for Bert in the case. One way that I connect with him Is his sight of the world as not being black and wright with the rules and what is right and what is wrong. This is the same with me, I never see a problem as two very clear answers or solutions …show more content…

like when he asks Brady questions over the bible, along with man’s right to think that was given to him by God. This is like my creatively in coming up with ideas for projects or solutions for a problem. My finally clame on how we are similar is that even when Mister Brady dies, he still feels remorse’s for him, even though they were enemies in the case over problems and the case. This projects from me with even people that I may dislike I still feel sorry or bad for the problems that they face or have a major accident. Although we are very similar I have many differences with Drummond. One of the most major differences is that he is an extremely good public speaker along with being able to get people’s attention. I on the other hand get very nervous when I try and speak in front of a group, along with ether speaking very fast or not standing still and moving around a larger amount. The other way we a difference is his ability to read people along with being able to tell what they are possibly thinking right then. I on the other hand, I never notices when people's body language is saying something about

    861 Words  | 2 Pages

    E.K. Hornbeck through his language in “Inherit the Wind” (1955) tries to show the town of Hillsboro the way that their thoughts are harmful and wrong. Hornbeck backs that up by using a sarcastic tone to show them how ridiculous they are being, by using metaphors and similies to give the citizens context from the outside world that they might not always consider due to their closed mindedness, and by using syntax to prove that he is better than them and making himself and his views credible. His purpose is to get the town to change their viewpoint so they can see that they need to move forward with the time. He establishes a superior relationship with his audience of small town people with narrow viewpoints who need to learn to be more accepting.

    Joshua Ferris, the author of the short story, “The Breeze”, closely links seasonal conditions and activities to different lifestyles. Specifically, Joshua links outdoor activities and spring in Manhattan to a life that needs “more adventure” and “thrills”. He also chooses to link indoor places and winter to the picture of a life that is “limited”, “dying” and “misspent”. Light and dark are also used as a binary within this story. What shows the connection between the ideas described is how the author uses repetition and patterns to emphasize his most important details.

  • The Blizzard Analysis

    1356 Words  | 3 Pages

    “We are in a remote country house, toward evening, a cold blizzard rages.” [Cite] The short, simple, and beautifully written murder mystery play The Blizzard, written by David Ives, begins in a somewhat cliché state. Inside the secluded house in a forest, with the predictably unfavorable weather outside, and no access to technology primarily no external communications. The starting leads to a feeling of unremarkability, that soon the play may become another no name story that hardly leaves a dent in your memory. This dreary beginning in part fits into the themes of the play and in some ways better compliments the more creative middle and end. Ultimately, The Blizzard is a meta play primarily referential to murder mysteries on a whole rather

  • A Wind Storm In The Forest John Muir Analysis

    As I read John Muir’s “A Wind Storm in The Forest”, I come to realize how passionate the author is pertaining to wind and nature. He uses descriptive language to bring out the full beauty of the winds. For example John Muir states in his narrative “A Wind Storm in The Forest” that “After one has seen pines six feet in diameter bending like grasses before a mountain gale, and ever and anon some giant falling” (526). The author gives winds the quality which no human could ever possibly obtain, and that is sheer power. However the author also describes the winds as always not beastly, but rather sometimes gentle and calm. John Muir wants the readers to understand that wind is has its many beauty’s and miracles; you just have to be willing to look

  • Inherit the Wind - Scene Analysis

    1896 Words  | 4 Pages

    The scene that introduces the audience to Matthew Harrison Brady, in Inherit the Wind, (Dir. Stanley Kramer. With Spencer Tracy, Frederic March, and Gene Kelly. MGM. 1960) uses dialogue, composition, camera work and music to develop Matthew Brady. Kramer reveals important information about the plot of the film in this scene. The scene opens with a bird's eye view shot of the town of Hillsboro, and focuses in on the movement of the parade below. The camera comes to rest on the convertible that transports Brady and his wife. The town of Hillsboro welcomes the well-known politician. He will serve the town by being the prosecutor in a trial about evolution, similar to that of the historical Scopes Trial. This scene, where we first meet Brady, reveals his strong character, and the role of savior that the town expects him to play. Through the development of Brady, Kramer also introduces us to the issues of religion and politics. Stanley Kramer, the director, introduces the audience to two key ideas in the very first shot of the scene. He does this through the use of background tools, like music and scenery. As the camera fades in from the previous scene, music begins to play, and a group of women sing a religious hymn, "Give me that old time religion." The extremely loud music continues for the duration of the parade. At first the audience doesn't know the source of the music, but as the parade comes to an end, the camera focuses on a group of militant looking women, who march and sing. This song draws the audience into the impending controversy over religion. It expresses the entire town's point of view on the issue. The audience can see that religion affects the soc...

  • The Blue Kite Analysis

    801 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the essay “The Three Father Figures In Tian Zhuangzhuang’s Film The Blue Kite: The Emasculation of Males by the Communist Party”, Hanna Nielsen describes how men were stripped of their power by the Communist party, at least as depicted by The Blue Kite. “They are all incapable of fulfilling the traditional role of the father because this role is usurped by the Party to which their lives will be ultimately forfeit.” (Nielsen 84) “They” being the three fathers the main character loses over the course of the film, which according to Nielsen are replaced by the party. However, in focusing almost entirely on the men of the story, both Nielsen and the film are guilty of ignoring the women in the story. Similar to Nielsen’s point about emasculating men, I would argue that The Blue Kite also presents a narrative of women being defeminized as the party disrupts the traditional workings of the home.

Yet, though expressing the sentiment that the larger society knows what schools need to achieve equity, the equity school leaders in this paper did not remain silent. They took action. In the following I will describe the sentiment of the school leaders and the actions they have taken to move their schools toward equity. Due to spacing I will only focus on a few principals. Equity school leaders seek external funding to supplement what the district gives them and they create partnership with organizations
