2A
Getting to the bottom of a complex issue takes time and effort. In the play Twelve Angry Men almost all of the jurors want to say he is guilty without even discussing it. Juror number 8 was not okay with this and for the whole first act he stood alone to prove that there is reasonable doubt. He knew that there was more to the story and was willing to take the time and put in the effort to prove it. After discussing it all day he was able to prove that there was some reasonable doubt and not enough proof to put him in jail for life. By putting in the time and effort to do this he changed almost all of the jurors minds.

Hi Abby!
ReplyDeleteyou made an excellent point about how Juror 8 stood alone but did not give up trying to change the minds of the other Jurors. In life you may be standing alone but you should stand up for what you think is right because you never know the outcome of the situation. You could be making a life better just like juror 8 did for the young boy.

I like how you pointed out that juror eight wasn't satisfied with just condemning the boy at the beggining. If it wasn't for him forcing the other jurors to face the facts the kid could've been declared guilty.
