12 Angry Men: Parts

12 Angry Men

Part One The Sociogram shows the dialogue between the group. It’s very obvious that Juror number 3 and Juror number 8 lead the conversation throughout the group. Number 8 engages in conversation with every person in the jury numerous times. Whereas Number 3 excludes many different members of the jury, focusing the majority of his efforts on convincing the people he views as threats.

Part Two The Foreman established the first rule, which was that each Juror sit in numerical order. A norm established throughout the deliberation was that whenever anyone wanted a vote, all the person had to do was ask. The type of vote would be determined by the first type of vote suggested.

Part Three Throughout the deliberation, Juror number 3 used intimidation to make his point. He acted as a bully in attempting to push around other jurors. Juror number 8 tries to include everyone in the group and show them that they have a voice. His strategy is more successful. Number 8 is open to anyone persons input and listens to everyone’s point of view. Number 3 is very close-minded.

Juror number 4, the stock broker, seemed to be the best educated of all the men. He looked at the case very factually. Everything was very black and white for the broker. He does a great job of communicating his opinions and ideas with the group.

Juror number 5, the Baltimore fan, came from the same neighborhood as the boy accused of the crime. He was able to relate to the boy in many ways. His vast knowledge of knife fighting helps disprove the idea that the boy stabbed his father from a downward angle.

Juror number 9, the old man, notices many minute details throughout the trial. He sees things that the rest or the jurors don’t realize they saw. The old man notices that the man who claims to have saw the boy leave the apartment had a bad hobble and that the women who lived across the street wore glasses.

    In the books Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, and Fences by August Wilson, there are common themes that run throughout the book. Among these are two, hard working men that can be a bit disillusioned by life. The main character of each book, Willy Loman and Troy Maxson are similar in many ways. They both try hard to be good men and fathers, but unfortunately, they are imperfect in both aspects. Troy distances his self from his youngest son, and many could say that he is too hard and cold towards him. Willy in a way believes that his grown sons could not have done any wrong when they were younger and do no wrong now. But these two fathers are not totally bad. There are many good personal traits that they both display in these books. But as stated as before, they weren't perfect at all.…

    The 3rd juror is the most outspoken about the 'guilt' of the teenager. As the play goes along it is revealed he has a personal connection with what has happened, he feels anger towards his own son, an anger which he has transferred onto the accused. A key moment for the third juror is when he finally changes his vote to ‘not guilty’ which is when he is reminded by the 8th juror “It’s not your boy. He’s somebody else’”, followed by the 4th juror stating “let him live”. Right up to this point, the third juror was committed to his ‘guilty’ vote. By juror 3 allowing his emotional baggage to enter the jury room with him it is clear that from the beginning of the play, his personal experience with his son were physiologically too powerful for him to be able to make the right verdict for the defendant.…

    Civil disobedience is the act of openly breaking the law or refusing to comply with government demands then willingly accepting punishment for the action. In Henry David Thoreau's case, spending a night in jail was the result of his civil disobedience when he refused to pay poll-tax. Like Thoreau, Kim Davis was jailed because of her refusal to follow a rule. Since Kim Davis shared a similar experience with Thoreau and that is why I think she would best fit Thoreau's definition of civil disobedience.…
