Why I Liked Juror Number 8
My favorite person in the movie of 12 angry men was especially juror number 8 and the old man juror 9, also juror number 6. The reason i liked juror number 8 is because, juror 8 didn’t agree guilty right away just like the other jurors, number 8 really wanted to explain why everyone voted guilty. He didn’t right away think that the kid was really a murderer,because of the father as the court had said that the father was abusive and that the kid was everywhere as an orphan but so long to be beaten, number 8 thought after so long of taking all that abuse, who wouldn’t? And how number 8 really got everyone to really think about sending a kid to the electric chair, how he got everyone to vote not guilty. Also the reason i liked juror number 9 too

    Truth In The Jurors By Reginald Rose

    The writer, Reginald Rose wants to show to me from thus play is that the truth matters more. He wants to show that the truth what matter more because throughout the play the Jurors keep arguing that boy isn't innocent. Later on in the play the Jurors started to find reasonable doubt on the evidence they had on the boy. Like when one of the witnesses said that they say the killing accruing through the window when the train was passing by. It wasn't possible for her to the killing accruing because it was in the middle of the night and she didn't have her glasses on so it was impossible for her to see the boy killing his father through the last to carts windows of the train when passing. (Rose 15) Also when the boy was accused of murdering his…

    I And Juror 9 Similarities

    A character who is like me is juror 9 because he’s open minded and fair. Juror 9 is trying to give good evidence about the old men, for example, “The old men has never been recognized his whole life he just wants to be recognized.” (pg. 36) I display this characteristic because I could tell fake from fake and real from real like juror 9 did with the old man when he could tell the old man was lying. A way how not alike is that I don’t really focus on things like he do I just go with my guts or my first instant unlike him he thinks it through and makes sure what he’s saying is…

    Heroism In Terry And 8th Juror

    When there is suppression and exploitation of voices, standing up to a group can prove to be difficult to the unrecognised heroes. Both Terry and 8th Juror, the protagonists in the texts experience self-doubt in their journey to heroism through daring actions that eventually getting them to success. Whilst the reader can identify the initial courage in 8th Juror voting ‘not guilty,’ against the opposing jurors and the majority bias, the reader can note through the stage directions his anxiousness leading up to revealing his vote “The 8th Juror turns, startled.” He’s logical sense came forward unlike the biased and lazy judgement of the other jurors. “There were eleven votes for “guilty.” It’s not easy for me to raise my hand and send a boy…

    Character Development In Juror's Twelve Angry Men

    There are only twelve main characters in the entire play whose names we never learn. Despite that fact, there is a large amount of character development and the reader is able to learn lots about each juror. Character development is necessary for a good story and Twelve Angry Men has lots of it. It is all through the jurors dialogue and how they each act. The protagonist, juror 8, and the antagonist, juror 3, are easily identifiable thanks to how they talk about the case and what they want to happen. Juror 10 is clearly a racist based on the way he talks about “them”. As you can see, their names are not necessary for good characters and a good play. All that is…

    The Mar Grow Of Tradition Character Analysis

    One of my favorite characters was Josh, since he is one of the only characters that seems to act of his own free will, ignoring the attitudes and beliefs of those around him, and giving the appearance of being free from the restraints of the racial inequality that surround the African-Americans in the story. Josh would rather die than be subservient and treated like an animal. I at first found this admirable but was later sad to read that his hatred got the…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Jury Analysis

    American novelist Harper Lee in her novel To Kill a Mockingbird wrote, “I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system—that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.” I had nervously opened the envelope with “Official Jury Summons” stamped on the outside many times before the autumn of 2014, however, up until that point, I had been lucky and avoided selection. My once thriving town was beginning to feel the consequences of a declining economy and increased poverty. My fellow citizens walked the streets with an almost…
