You rarely win‚ but sometimes you do.” Atticus is saying that to him what makes hero is someone who does something even when they know they are gonna lose but they fight anyway.

Florida Studio Theatre’s production of Butler by Richard Strand is witty‚ full of word play‚ and all too relevant.

The last essay that I studied was‚ “John Brown‚ Quietist” by W. Caleb McDaniel. Personally‚ this was my favorite of the essays to have read.
