Inherit the Wind - Why a Classic

Inherit the Wind is said to be a classic book. Do I agree with this statement, yes I do. Inherit the Wind has stood the test of time. It was written in 1951 as a playwright. Many people from all over have read and performed this great work. Inherit the Wind has a solid thesis behind it, you don't have to win to influence society. This book brings about a good topic and teaches a valuable lesson to keep standing up for what you believe in no matter what it is that you are thinking, you still have the freedom to think. Inherit the Wind also brought in the reality of life with its message. The man on trial, Bertram Cates, didn't technically win his trial, but with a bias judge and jury you would expect this in real life. Life isn't a fairy tale that everything magically just falls into place. But because of the case the town was influenced and this is where the theme ties in. Inherit the Wind was not a very long book but it had a lot of quality in it which makes this book a classic through out time and the analysis of people.
