Do you think you could escape a maximum security prison that is on an island surrounded by water? I personally don’t think I could. I am going to be talking about the great escape of Alcatraz. I was interested in this topic because this is still a mystery today and that makes me curious. I hope that you will be as intrigued as I was. Preparation for the great escape, escaping the maximum security prison, and last, the aftermath. In a penitentiary called Alcatraz, an island off the coast of San…

Alcatraz is an Island located 1.25 miles offshore from San Francisco, California, United States in the San Francisco Bay.

It is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Areas and is open to tours. Out of the 1576 prisoners on Alcatraz, only a few were…

This theory that God created the world and all life within it.

or not. I think that they survived the escape because of their clever planning. They could of died but there is still no proof that they did. There is evidence that could help prove that they did survive. So did Frank Morris, along with John and Clarence Anglin survive or not? One thing that can help support that they survived the escape is that there has been items that had belonged to the inmates that have been found on islands and in the water. A raincoat raft along with paddles and the…

who believed exactly what the Bible said. William Jennings Bryan was a fundamentalist leader and people like him opposed the idea of evolution. Soon this led to the Scopes trial, which was a trial between fundamentalists and modernism. Defended by Clarence Darrow he was able to help Scopes in his trial since he was the best lawyer in America he was able to win the trial. This is able to reflect the idea of cultural division and how it can still be seen after the 1920’s. The outcome of the trial…

accused of teaching evolution in the classroom in Dayton, Tennessee. Under the Butler law, Tennessee had made it illegal to teach evolution in schools. As a result, Scopes went to trial, and through heated debate between William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow and much drama, he was found guilty of violating the Butler law. This trial was one of principle, where both sides were fighting for something greater than simply the crime committed. It was a fight over authority, in which…

“He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart”. Proverb 11:29 explains when someone creates a conflict within their own community, they must suffer the consequences of their actions. This is evident in the two sources I will be examining which is the film Inherit the Wind, directed by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E.
