Response to first Question

I suggest you open the "new post" in a new tab so you can still see the question while typing.

I can not say i have really thought about the "right to think" before reading Inherit the Wind. Everybody has the right to think because you can not control someone else's mind. You can tell someone what to think but they probably will not obey your command. We think everyday, in your sub-conscious as well as your conscious, like what shoe do i put on first?, what to wear today?, and what to eat for breakfast?

There are different kinds of thinking; thinking ahead for one. Drummond planned ahead and read the bible and Darwin, that was a good idea. He was preparing himself to help Bert be free a man. Brady on the other hand just thought he was going to win because of all the support of the people of Hillsboro. Some people just think in the present like "this is a good idea" but then when it turns out to be bad they realize it was a bad choice, and sometimes never learn.

After reading Inherit the Wind you notice the town of Hillsboro to change it's view on creationism vs. evolution. Before they are purely for the bible and creationism. But after the trial you see the jury convict Bert but not as severely as you would think. The had some doubt in their minds as to if Bert was really guilty, he was but they kinda of questioned the Butler Act. As Mrs. Berdick said after the trial they didn't enforce the Butler Act very much, it was just there taking up space in their book of laws.
