the ranch essay Steinbeck portrays Slim as the ‘prince of the ranch’ using description‚ his interactions with workers‚ especially George and what the other characters say about him and how they treat him. I think that Slim being portrayed as the ‘prince of the ranch’ is a very accurate and reasonable perception as Steinbeck builds his character to be respected and admired almost like royalty. Slim‚ on his first appearance‚ is described as moving with a ‘majesty only achieved by royalty or master

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
