This book is in time period around year 1925 in USA and at the start of the book is written: Not too long ago, so I think that it is said well, because it happed almost over eighty years ago.

And about the place, it is in the city of Hillsboro and it will be mostly in the courthouse where will be the main debate. 

After next several pages, I still don’t know about Howard and Rachel, but there is one main fact, that some know presidential candidate Matthew Harrison Brady came to the city to, let´s say, punish the teacher for his gall. He meets with the Mayor of the city and they are saying they are proud to have the man like him in their city. I hope that some will come for to defend the teacher.

In this book, after few pages, I can´t really know how the character will behave, I don’t know if they are on the good or the bad side, because everyone has his own truth.  The first main characters are Melinda and Howard and they are just hanging around the Hillsboro courthouse and talking about weather. Then appear Rachel with Mr. Meeker. The book says that Rachel is pretty, but not beautiful and she doesn’t want to Howard to notice her, but he did. It starts to be interesting why she is so weird and don’t want to say hi to Howard.  

I choose a book called Inherit the wind, and as I said before, it is written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin lee in year 1955 and it is inspired by real event which happened in year 1925 known as a Scopes trial, where the teacher John Thomas Scopes was teaching the theory of evolution, but it was against the Butler Act, a law which forbid teaching the theory of evolution because they thought that mankind was created by a god.
