Part 2: 1A

          As jurors 3 and 8 demonstrate, civility can work wonders in getting people to agree with you. During the entire play, Juror 8 was very calm and collected, while Juror 3 was pretty much yelling almost the entire time. He kept getting very worked up, while Juror 8 didn’t raise his voice once. One specific example of success of Juror 8’s approach was Juror 2, as he explained, “[Juror 8] seems so sure. And he has made a number of good points. While [Juror 3]... only gets mad and insults everybody” (Rose 48). Calm civility is more convincing than angry yelling every time- it’s no coincidence that Juror 8 was the one who got everyone else to be on his side.
