Inherit The Wind Critique



     The movie Inherit The Wind directed by Stanley Kramer is based off the real historical known as the Scopes Monkey Trial. The film in my opinion correctly presents the conflict of bible teachings and true knowledge. Many deep phrases such as: "Progress has never been a bargain. You have to pay for it." impressed me because they are very true. The courtroom was always hot to signify the literal heat or the imaginative tension between the two famed lawyers named Matthew Harrison Brady(Spencer Tracy) and Henry Drummond(Fredric March).
     Inherit The Wind is about a young school teacher(Bertram Cates) who is arrested because he teaches his students that man evolved as Charles Darwin stated. In the city of Hillsborough however, it is illegal to object the bible and Bertram Cates(Dick York) is being tried for expressing his opinion where his opinion is very true. Brady, the prosecutor, comes to the city as a hero to purge nonbelievers and the citizens welcome him with a great entrance. Henry on the other hand, he came quietly and was not welcome. Henry was not alone and had E.K. Hornbeck(Gene Kelly) with him, a very famous news reporter. Both men agreed with Bert and defend him against the heavily favored Brady and a church-educated crowd. In the end, the defense loses but they make their point where soon, others in the nation will follow.
     The actors were pretty accurate from the book but as always, the book has more details than the movie. There characters rile up and generate controversy over the bias crowd. The movie sparks a kind of David vs. Goliath match where the least supported defense fights the over-religious prosecution. There is also a tiny romance compared to Romeo and Juliet where Bert is engaged to Rachel, the preacher's daughter. The scene and settings I would say fit the setting of a courtroom in 1925. Overall, the movie was well setup and executed.
     I would like to speak and note about the many quotes that I highly recommend people to know. One used by Henry, "The bible is a book. It's a good book, but it's not the only book." says that people who limit their understanding towards the bible alone, they suppress the knowledge of what really happens. Henry tries to expand the mind of the crowd to see as Bert does. Brady's knowledge of the bible results in his downfall as Henry explains what he failed to do. More quotes:Inherit The Wind Quotes
     This movie kept me interested and informed me at the same time. The clear history between the two lawyers added contrast between them. Bert and Rachel's engagement and relationship spices things up as they try to be together despite their  split opinions. Hornbeck's nosy attitude and rude and truthful statements introduce a kind of humor for the reader. In conclusion, the movie entertained me and honestly baffled me when both lawyers used very exotic vocabulary. I highly recommend watching this movie and I too would place this film in my own list of great movies.

Online Gaming Writer for Screen Robot


   
To Whom It May Concern,

     I would like to fill the opening for a gaming and film writer for Screen Robot. I am gamer and also not a bad writer. Details are very important in my opinion because it helps the reader understand more about the topic. I am taking all honors classes in high school as a sophomore so AP classes are not in my reach yet. I am very interested about writing about games because I try to learn everything about them. I am currently studying code and can understand HTML basics. I hope to get to work on computers because the current generation is heavily dependent on technology. I would like to know more about Screen Robot and its history along with its reputation as a game and film critic.

Thank you for your time,

Josh Sabio

Why Should We Use Solar Energy?

   
     Why should we use solar energy? Well for starters, it's free and helps the environment. It reduces fossil fuel use which in turn reduces carbon dioxide emissions in our polluted air. It also effectively supplies our current demands for energy and we can provide a surplus of energy when needed. Overall, this energy source has many positive effects when used.



     Cost of solar panels are usually high right now but in the coming future they should be affordable.
Ideal places to install solar panels can be in deserts or city roofs. Solar panels are quiet and never stop working. Using solar energy will greatly reduce your electricity bill and heating costs.

     Solar panels, as good as they seem, still have cons. As I said before, they are expensive and are not cost effective as fossil fuels. They can be damaged easily and would even be more expensive than it really is. Solar panels rely on the sun to make electricity which means solar panels only work half a day. The weather can also affect energy production be blocking out the sun's rays.

     In conclusion, the positives of solar energy greatly outnumber the negatives and should be used be everyone. Over time, using solar energy will save you tons of money. You will be able to save the world by reducing pollution. Solar energy can be used and harvested anywhere in the world. In the generation where technology dictates our life, solar energy is an ideal answer to power our technology.

Zombies Real?!


     Some stories show an Ebola patient who died to Ebola who later revived not long after the patient was presumed dead. What causes this to occur? How does this affect the human brain? Apparently this was a hoax but some facts about Ebola seem zombie like. Ebola has many symptoms such as  fever, headache, nausea which can progress to more severe sickness like internal and external bleeding and diarrhea. To prevent contracting the virus, safety precautions must be in place. Proper clothing and no direct contact of sick patients will basically keep you safe. It is not airborne but comes usually from bodily fluids. Proper hygiene also may keep you safe from germs that may have the virus. As of right now, it can be dealt with by doctors but you must seek treatment before 16 days or you will perish. Stay safe everybody!

Azir op?


     Is Azir broken? My answer is maybe. This  new champ puts out a ton of dps and area control. He can be very safe or an upfront initiator using his e and r to escape gap closers. He can have high burst as well as high sustained damage. In my opinion, I would build tanky and cd items for damage and defense instead of full ap unless you are very confident in your team to protect you. Downfalls for this guy is that he has a very high skill cap. To be able to do damage, you must have your soldiers at an ideal position which can contradict with your escapes and movement. Your ult could have many uses so you must choose carefully. Mastering Azir can lead to many plays and if you can stack a mejais early you will be unstopable with your experience. If there is any tips or comments about what you just read, please share them to me so I can be better at the game.
