Argumentative Essay: Is Goldsboro Explainable?

241 Words1 Page

Goldsboro is unexplainable. Everyone has gone through the phase of “Goldsboro is so boring! There’s nothing to do around here!” because I have. But, I’ve noticed there’s a twist to it. Goldsboro may not have the greatest entertainment places but it does have great friends. Friends that make the movies fun, friends that even by simply going downtown to walk around can make the best out of it. Friends that no matter if you go to the smallest place can make it a crazy memory to remember. I go out almost every weekend to the movies with my cousins but it’s different every time.

    The Scottsboro Boys is the tale of nine innocent young black men accused of rape by two white women. Tome’s production of Scottsboro is amazing and heart-wrenching.

The choreography throughout the musical is unbelievably graceful and thoughtful. Britton Mauk’s set design has a simplistic but timely approach, which helps the audience pay attention to the show, rather than elaborate set pieces.

    Jonathan Edwards version of God was very aggressive and unforgiving. Insult after continuing insult, this does not seem like the Jesus Christ with the wonderful forgiving spirit. With the words, “God hates you,” repeated multiple times throughout the sermon, it is truly hypocritical that the God described as forgiving and loving of all would say “I hate you,” every five minutes. I personally feel like this is not the way God would like to be described, and that God would much rather liked to be showed as a forging and gentle spirit.
