Inherit the Blah.....

The conversation between the two kids is significant because of the bias that is instilled by the parents into the ignorant children. It shows that the parents and most of Tennessee are under the blanket of religious prejudice. The ignorance of the child is taken advantage of by their parents to form a reflection of their selves. In addition, the fact that the town, perhaps the state, is so religiously influenced that the division of church and state does not apply. Brady is an example of gluttony in that he is self indulging and eats too much. The “Monkey Trial” has brought the town of Dayton unparalleled fame and wealth. The author did not want to depict the exact story in order to give the reader an image of the setting of Dayton, without personally depicting any person; this diminishes the potential for legal issues as well as personal.
