Comparison Of Inherit The Wind By Jerome Lawrence And Robert E. Lee
Have you ever had your perspective changed or tested? In the play Inherit The Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee a whole town's perspective was being put on trial, because of one man, Bert Cates. He decided he was going to teach his students about evolution, from the book of Charles Darwin. The community was shook up because of it. Only because of one man. One man's influence on 20 or so students, affected a small town and eventually all of America. One man's influence does have the impact to change society, even with having a firm perspective on the scenario from the beginning.

Hallstrom serves this film like a sommelier, who serves wine in a first-rate restaurant.…

    Night by Elie Wiesel and "Hangman" by Maurice Ogden both make strong points of view towards the battle between mankind and evil. Wiesel 's personal experiences give the reader very specific and down to the point accounts of the Holocaust. In contrast, Ogden musical poem gives the reader a very indistinguishable idea of what is taking place. One must examine rhyme over and over to be given the full impact of the poem. The battle against evil may be compared on the basis of their narration, their subject, their language usage, and their tone and mood.…

    During the trial, Cates watches Drummond of his actions, tone and listens to what he says which motivates him to be determined and fight for what he believes in. This connects to his conversation with Rachel about how she was trying to get Cates to admit that he was wrong teaching evolution in class.

    The cat is metaphor for sin. Junior has led a boring life and thinks the “wild and alien” (26) cat will make him more interesting. However, the cat ends up hurting him more than it helps him. “The carpeting -- every last strip of it -- had been torn out of the floor, leaving an expanse of dirty plywood studded with nails, and there seemed to be a hole in the plasterboard just to the left of the window.” (38) He underestimated the risk of taking in the cat, just as man underestimates the impact of sin on his life. He thinks he can minimize its destructive power by having minimal interaction…

    Film Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

    An individual’s beliefs are entirely their own, but outside factors, such as experiences, new perspectives, and the opinions of others greatly affect these beliefs. New perspectives will almost always influence a person's beliefs and values, as they give new information previously unknown, as shown in the feature-length film Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. In the Fangorn Forest, we see an Ent known as Treebeard decide definitively that the Ent’s would not go to war, but a new perspective was revealed, changing the belief of the Ents in regards to the necessity of war. Something similar happened with Gollum, the abuse from Faramir and his men caused a drastic change in Gollum’s beliefs about the hobbits, and this was due to a new perspective…
