In January of 1949, Jerome Robbins, an American theater producer, created the idea of West Side Story after being inspired by Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. Eight years later, on September 26, 1957, the much anticipated production West Side Story made its debut on Broadway. West Side Story went on to win over twenty major awards, including eleven Academy Awards, making it a huge success (WSS Frequently Asked Questions).

of the original Broadway musical. In Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theater, His Dance by Deborah Jowitt, it is revealed that the two gangs were originally meant to be Jews versus Catholics (page 267).

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.

Matthew Harrison Brady, of Inherit the Wind by: Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, never fooled anyone. He may have seemed strong in the beginning but he no substance under the shell. Such a false front can be compared to water behind an earthen dam. It may hold some water for a time but once the water finds a weak point, the whole structure comes crashing down along with the fury of all the water behind it. Within brady, the water represents the gooey inner core of his personality. Once he loses
Knight, Death and Devil,(cat. 1) Saint Jerome in His Study,(cat. 2) and Melencolia I, (cat. 3) have been considered Dürer’s Meisterstiche, or “master prints.”1 There are several different interpretations of these 3 engravings, the imagery with in them, and their relation to each other. These Master Prints are probably the most written about of Dürer’s work. In the year 2014, we are at the 500-year anniversary of the creation of Melencolia I, and Saint Jerome in His Study, they still remain provocative

The last instance is the narrow-mindedness of the judge and the jury, which resulted in an unfair trial. In conclusion, the defense suffered through many
