Part 2-6A
Juror #8 had one of the biggest influences on the other jurors. He was the only person that had reasonable doubt at first and proved that the witness was lying. He was determined to find everyones answer about the verdict, and he did it skillfully. He got many jurors to change their decision in the play. In the end, he was the most influential on all the jurors because he was determined.

I agree that juror eight was a big contributing factor to why the boy was proven innocent. He was the first to speak his mind but not only that, speak his mind with facts. he was motivated to prove that the boy was innocent.
ReplyDeleteDetermination is defined as having a firmness of purpose and being resolute. In the play, "Twelve Angry Men," juror eight was the most resolute and firm as he stuck by what he believed to be true. If the juror had succumbed to peer pressure early on, then he and the other jurors could have sent a not guilty man to die. I think the most important aspect of the play was the fact that even when the rest of the jurors were moaning and groaning over the fact that they had to stay and work out the case, juror eight stuck to his guns and was able to bring several things to the light that nobody had thought of before.
