    The jury is sent to a hot, crowded room to deliberate. Before any formal discussion, they cast a vote. Eleven of the jurors vote “guilty.” Only one juror votes “not guilty.” That juror, who is known in the script as Juror #8 is the protagonist of the play. As the tempers flare and the arguments begin, the audience learns about each member of the jury. And slowly but surely, Juror #8 guides the others toward a verdict of “Not Guilty.”…

    Throughout his play, Rose critiques the oppressive and discriminative environment of McCarthyist America, exploring the way some jurors use the power of their personality to attempt to sway others to share their point of view. Indeed, the 8th juror is aware of the effects and dangers of peer pressure and this is illustrated through his request to have the second (and possibly the most important vote) taken as an anonymous ballot (p.18) At various moments in the play, the 10th, 3rd and 7th jurors do try to sway the vote to ‘guilty’ through the use of intimidation rather than argument. What can be interpreted is another clear message conveyed by Rose through his play is that this type of intimidation will ultimately be unsuccessful. Logic and reason do win out over endemic prejudice, but what the play also illustrates is that for this to occur, there must be voices who are prepared to hold true to their convictions. This is clearly portrayed through the contrast between the “[interrupting]” and “[shouting]” of jurors 10 and 3 and the “[calm]” and reflective “[pauses]” of juror…

    Set in the sweltering summer of 1954, Reginald Rose's socially insightful play "Twelve Angry Men", illustrates the dangers of a justice system that relies on twelve individuals to reach a "life or death" decision with collective states of minds hindered by "personal prejudice". At the conception of the play, rose explores the idea that doubt is a harder state of mind than certainty by portraying doubt, in the guilt of the boy, as a minority view within the courtroom. However, as the play progresses a seed of doubt is planted and the importance of self prejudice hindering the verdict is removed, making it harder for the jurors to hold their certainty in their guilty verdict.…

    A novel that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed in English this year is “THE HOBBIT” by J.R.R.Tolkien, which is part of the widely known fantasy genre. The plot of the book is about a young hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins who is visited by a band of dwarves lead by the great Thorin Oakenshield and a grand wizard called Gandalf who are looking for someone to share an adventure with and reclaim the dwarven kingdom from the mighty dragon Smaug. At the beginning of the adventure, out of the party Bilbo is least fit for the job that the dwarves have asked him to do, is that of a burglar. On paper Bilbo should be the right one for the job as hobbits have the ability to tread lightly and fit into small spaces but Bilbo is man who enjoys his comforts of home.…

    Crystallization is a significant development, which reduces the energy consumption in the polyester manufacturing process. It allows energy that is retained in the polyester melt to be utilized for the crystallization step. The direct crystallization process starts at the extrusion die, where the melt is formed into several strands of uniform thickness. Depending on the specific pelleting process applied, the strands will be maintained over a short distance and are partially cooled with water before being cut into pellets. The cooling water is maintained at a temperature of 60 to 95 °C. It is preferably separated from the pellets by a centrifugal dryer, with the pellets then being transferred to a crystallizer. In the crystallizer, he pellets are agitated by a fluidizing gas stream in order to prevent agglomeration. For a higher throughput rate, several pelleting systems may converge in a single crystallizer.…
