Relation To Books Inherit the Wind

A meaningful play based on the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, in which a Tennessee teacher was tried for teaching evolution. The accused was a slight, frightened man who'd deliberately broken the law. His trial was a Roman circus, the chief gladiators being the two great legal giants of the century. Locked in mortal combat, they bellowed & roared imprecations & abuse. The spectators sat uneasily in the sweltering heat with murder in their hearts, barely restraining themselves. America's freedom was at stake.

Notice Regarding Books Inherit the Wind

Inherit the Wind is one of the few plays we have read as a class that I actually enjoyed. Most of the time I dont even read the plays or books were reading in class. They are always boring and old plays or books about stuff I dont understand or care to understand. This was not one of them. The main reasons I liked this play is that it was about a real life experience that actually happened. Another reason I liked it was because of the themes and messages it gave. One of the most important things

Personal Response: I was very unexcited for this Inherit the Wind. I usually dont go for historical based books. Inherit the Wind completely surprised me. Though it was based on an event that happened a while ago, I could relate it to more modern day issues that are going on. I enjoyed how the authors took the opportunity to make a complicated and a long court case into an interesting and suspenseful read. The book was well written and thought out. I ended up really enjoying reading Inherit the

The "Scopes Monkey Trial"(1925) is perhaps the most famous trial in American history where a young teacher, John Scopes, was accused of teaching evolution in a school in the small town of Dayton, Tennessee in violation of Tennessee's "Butler Act" which prohibited teaching evolution in any state-funded school. According to all reliable sources, the trial was a put-up job by some prominent locals to garner some publicity for the town, knowing fully well that the ACLU had offered to take up the

I just finished teaching this play for the second time: I read it with students in a composition course focused on topics at the intersection of freedom and literacy. In spite of its overly familiar subject matter, the play is actually quite enjoyable in the way it uses the historical Scopes Monkey Trials as a test case for thinking through the problems of the McCarthy era, and in fact, our own. The character development is quite interesting: Hornbeck is a fabulous villain - perhaps the most

Personal Response:I really enjoyed this drama. My enjoyment was likely helped by the style of reading we did to complete the play. By reading a specific part, I was more involved in the storyline and found more fun in it than I would have by reading it on my own. I also liked the topic of the play because it is still an issue in todays world.Plot:The opening scene of the drama showed the division between Darwinism and Creationism with Howard and Melinda. The setting then moved to the courthouse

Personal Response: After reading Inherit the Wind , I thought it was a great play. Even though it was written quite a few years ago, I still thought there were many great lessons that still apply today. I really liked the way the authors wrote this play. They were detailed and had some humor with every scene that made it have a good balance. Plot: Overall this drama was based on an actual case called the Scopes Trial. Inherit the Wind started with two young kids named Howard and Melinda
