6. In Jasmine the author criticizes the norm that women are to aspire to marriage, and then aspire to birthing a child, preferable a son. This happens when Prakash criticizes Jasmine for wanting to have a child so bad. Jasmine keeps pushing it on her husband, and finally Prakash shows her that just because that is the customary thing to do, does not mean that that is all she is good for. However she sympathizes with Jasmine not having a job at first. She makes Jasmine keep it a secret from Prakash, thinking that Prakash wouldn’t be pleased to find out that his wife was working. In Inherit the Wind, the authors criticize the idea that we should just accept the bible as the truth. The authors speak through Drummond when he says that everyone has the right to think for them self, and when he calls Brady out on the false ideas of the bible. However the authors sympathize with the people who aren’t able to accept evolution. Everyone does have a right to think for themselves, and that means that they can think incorrectly. This is shown at the end when Drummond is weighing the bible in one hand and Darwin’s book in the other.
