Book Reviews of Inherit the Wind
Book Review: hellsboro
Summary: 3 Stars
Inherit the wind is a very accurate play. Many times readers expect a play that follows a direct plot and goes from point A to point B. However that is not how real life is, it can flop from one topic, relationship or theme to another, which is why I enjoyed the play. It explores many points of views of what happened in Hillsboro, to its people and to the outsiders that looked in. One of the parts that I found unfavorable was the character of, Hornbeck who was often rude and an inaccurate portrayal of the big city graduate. There was so much back and forth banter between the characters of Hornbeck, Drummond, and Brady I would have liked to explain the relationship between them and why it was hinted with animosity. During most of the play it was Hornbeck and Drummond vs. Brady. I also enjoy this play because this topic (the argument between belief and fact, basically right and wrong) and how it can affect thousands of people by bidding them against each other. There are many other play the play on the emotions of a small town and the opinion of what seems to be the rest of the country, but this does it in a sometimes entertaining form. Finally I believe that people could interpret this book in many ways, however, many themes could go under many relationships throughout the book.Book Review: inherit the wind review
Summary: 3 Stars
Inherit the wind is the play that tells us about many topics such as fundamentalism vs freedom of thought and individual vs society. The play Inherit the wind is a play that Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee wrote. When I read both the play of Inherit the wind and watched the movie of Inherit the wind, and typical scene which at first, everyone blames Cates for teaching Darwin's Theory which is not allow to teach. However at the end, they changed their mind, it provided me a chance to analyze the distinction between the minority and majority. We live in a world in which most are based on the democracy, many think that majority is righteous, for it is the way to satisfy `more' people. In fact, I have agreed on the above notion. However, after reading the play, my thoughts have dramatically changed. Of course, the majority's opinion is valuable and significant; however, when it comes to the better method of solving, minority plays a more precious role than the method of the majority. Minority has different views from the majority. Majority can hear from minority that they could not think about in the first place. If many groups as possible. Both the majority and the minority were to exist in a community, they would find better and suitable solutions for everyone. In addition, freedom of thoughts is also worthy to note about. Every members of society has rights to `freedom of thought' and `freedom of speech'. However, in the play and the movie, Cates has violated such freedom by the town people who are, in fact, pious and religious. Therefore, contents about the disturbance of Cates's freedom by town people derived me into the thought that religion can't be considered as a part of the law, but it is a decent model of advice that provide one to live in an uprightness manner. The law should be equal to everyone.
