    Megan Malpass Womack English 1304 January 31‚ 2014 No Country For Old Men Response I completely disagree with Keats and his idea that the movie‚ No Country for Old Men‚ ends happily as Sheriff Bell tells the story of his dream to his wife.

The viewers can obviously tell that Sheriff Bell looks completely defeated and extremely old in the last scene of the movie. His

    12 Angry Men Paper In the movie‚ 12 Angry Men‚ a lesson that is taught is to check your intuitions-neither dismiss them‚ nor trust them blindly. In the movie‚ 11 of the jurors went with their first intuition that the boy was guilty. This turned out to be wrong in the end (as far as we know) and the jurors made the mistake of trusting their intuitions "blindly". Another example is the man who kept changing his mind as to whether he thought the defendant was guilty or innocent. He could not

Now‚ one lone juror faces not the pressure of his peers but the pressure of his emotional attachment
