Twelve Angry Men By Reginald Rose
I have recently read Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose and decided to write a letter based on your behavior in the jury. I’ll start my letter with your personal life, you started your business from scratch and now you have thirty-four employees working for you. How do you treat your worker: do you treat them with respect? By the way you were behaving in the jury, it seems like you disrespect your employees.

In jury, everyone has the right to change their verdict, so you do not have the right to shout at someone for what they believe in because, like you, they also have the right to express their opinions. Although you were yelling at 5th juror for changing his side, actually 9th juror changed his side. You were accusing someone else for changing his vote when he didn’t change his vote.

I also remember once my high school Health teacher told me, “Think twice before you do something.” This means think deeper of what you’re going to do because sometimes your action might affect others negatively. Another example of how uncontrollable you were in the jury room is when you started playing tic-tac-toe with the 12th juror and when the 8th juror snatched the pad, you irritatedly said “Did you see him? The Nerve! The absolute nerve!” (P. 32). This shows that when someone object your action, you get
