I And Juror 9 Similarities
Differences and similarities I and juror 9 have! The play twelve angry men analyzing the significance of identifying character traits.
A character who is like me is juror 9 because he’s open minded and fair. Juror 9 is trying to give good evidence about the old men, for example, “The old men has never been recognized his whole life he just wants to be recognized.” (pg. 36) I display this characteristic because I could tell fake from fake and real from real like juror 9 did with the old man when he could tell the old man was lying. A way how not alike is that I don’t really focus on things like he do I just go with my guts or my first instant unlike him he thinks it through and makes sure what he’s saying is

    Heroism In Terry And 8th Juror

    When there is suppression and exploitation of voices, standing up to a group can prove to be difficult to the unrecognised heroes. Both Terry and 8th Juror, the protagonists in the texts experience self-doubt in their journey to heroism through daring actions that eventually getting them to success. Whilst the reader can identify the initial courage in 8th Juror voting ‘not guilty,’ against the opposing jurors and the majority bias, the reader can note through the stage directions his anxiousness leading up to revealing his vote “The 8th Juror turns, startled.” He’s logical sense came forward unlike the biased and lazy judgement of the other jurors. “There were eleven votes for “guilty.” It’s not easy for me to raise my hand and send a boy…

    Nothing But The Truth Philip Malloy Quotes

    In Avi's book, Nothing But the Truth, there is a quote from a Shakespearian play. Brutus says, "No Cassius; for the eye sees not itself/But by reflection, by some other things." I think that in deeper terms, this means that a person cannot see how he or she acts unless someone acts the same way or describes it to them. This quote can be applied to the story because Philip Malloy, the main character cannot see himself clearly. In that way, I am like Philip Malloy. I have no perception of whether my actions have positive or negatives effects and always assume that I am right.…

    12 Angry Men (Movie of 1957)

    I personally think that Jury number 9 does not fully fulfil the standards of thinking. Based from the readings the standards of thinking “Whenever we think there is always a purpose, within a point of view, based on assumptions, leading to implications and consequences. We use data, facts, and experiences to make inferences and judgments, based on concepts and theories to answer a question or solve a problem.” Juror number 9 obviously did not fulfil these standards. One thing that I noticed about this juror is that when he decided to change sides he only did this for the sake of giving Henry Fonda a breather. He only did this because he thinks that the men inside the room are being too harsh on the boy and o Henry Fonda. This old man did not have a specific purpose towards the case. It would be acceptable that if he changed sides because he doubted the case but he didn’t.…

    Juror 8 In Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Men

    Reginald Rose's play, Twelve Angry Men, takes place in the 'jury-room of the New York Court of Law' in 1957, and explores how the persistence and determination of juror 8 eventually influences the other jurors into changing their minds about the verdict. Juror 8, the protagonist of the play, continually questions the veracity of the evidence in order to persuade other jurors to think about reasonable doubt. He goes out of his way to attempt to make other jurors deliberate about the murder. Even though the 8th juror broke the law by submitting the ‘one of a kind’ switchblade knife in the jury room the evidence was put into good hands and became a positive element towards the end of the play. The 8th Jurors intellectuality of twisting facts around is an important component that tests the…

    ‘”Twelve Angry Men” illustrates the dangers of a justice system that relies on twelve individuals reaching a life-or-death decision.’ Discuss

    The American justice system is intended to be fair and unbiased. It is founded on the ideal that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty, and ensures the duty of proving a dispute charge rests with the prosecution. However this system has inevitable flaws as every individual’s beliefs, values and morals are affected by their own experiences and factors. While such factors could potentially be the systems weaknesses, they could also be its biggest strength bringing experience and understanding to the courtrooms. It is this contradiction that Reginald Rose aims to explore through his portrayal of jurors in his play “Twelve Angry Men.’ The play presents the possibility that some jurors are driven by prejudice, while others self-interest motives can jeopardize the rights of the defendant through aspirations to speed up the case. However Rose portrays a voice of reason through the ethical juror 8 and the unbigoted juror 11, these jurors help to represent Rose’s view that a fair trial can be held in a jury room full of flawed human characters that symbolize the spectrum of society.…

    Twelve Angry Men Juror 3

    In a crowded jury room in downtown New York, opinions collide as discussion about the innocence of a young boy is decided. The dark and foreboding storm clouds that hang over the heads of the jurors are beginning to lift as time progresses and new facts are presented. One juror is not happy about this stay of execution and is holding fast his opinion of guilty. Juror three, the president of his business, refuses to alter his vote or opinion in any way. Still haunted by his own son, juror three verbally assaults the group with a forceful tone and a taciturn attitude. One of twelve, Reginald Rose created them all from the same pen and ink, and they could all be no more different.…

    12 Angry Men

    Reginald Rose’s play Twelve Angry Men emphasises the importance of seeing things from more than one perspective. Set in a New York jury room in 1957, Rose highlights how important it is that the jury discuss all of the evidence from the case in detail and from multiple angles. Representative of this notion is the 8th Juror who is willing to acknowledge alternative views or interpretations. From the outset of the play he goes against the crowd voting “not guilty”. He then considers all of the details of the evidence including the old man’s testimony and the boy’s inability to remember the movie he saw. In contrast to this character, are Jurors 3 and 10 who are portrayed as the antagonists because of their narrow mindedness and arrogance. They are very rigid in the way they apply their single minded world view and they have a reluctance to recognise the existence of another truth. Rose endorses the 8th Juror’s ability to see things from many perspectives and condemns the 3rd and 10th Juror’s inability to do so. This reveals the significance of looking at the evidence from a variety of perspectives in order to create a just verdict.…

    Similarities Between The Crucible And The Great Gatsby

    In a book a character’s characteristics help to shape a story into a good plot whether their morals are good or bad. The two characters Mr. Jay Gatsby, from The Great Gatsby has characteristics that are comparable to the character Abigail Williams, from The Crucible. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a book that talks about the “Roaring Twenties” and the social problems between the wealthy from a view of an outsider. While, The Crucible by Arthur Miller was about the Salem Witch Trials in 1692. In the books Mr. Gatsby and Abigail Williams both create their own realities, they are stubborn, they are both deeply in love with someone else, and they use their power to their advantage. While others believe that Mr. Gatsby and Sally Owens…

    Twelve Angry Men Essay

    Twelve Angry Men is a legal drama, written by Reginald Rose during the heightened period of 1950's McCarthyism. The didactic play presents a cross section, examining 1950's America during a period of immense suspicion and uncertainty. Roses' play reminds us of the importance of responsibility and integrity, emphasising qualities such as courage that aid in preserving justice. The play examines the power of the "lone voice" and places a special emphasis on the serving of justice over the quest for truth through a central plot and strategic framing. The idea of time versus responsibility is also addressed by Rose as his jurors struggle between honouring their role as civil servants and desires to "be elsewhere". The didactic play uncovers the virtues of the judicial system and thus highlights the jurors responsibility and the great power that they carry. Twelve Angry men extends beyond the realms of a moralistic courtroom drama, as it is applicable to both modern and contemporary audiences to ultimately highlight the importance of greater responsibility in the real world.…

    Jury and Stage Directions

    Twelve Angry Men embraces realistic and naturalistic traditions, presenting an everyday legal drama and the interpersonal conflicts it can generate. It is set during the Cold War when America was struggling for political and economic dominance over powerful nations such as the Soviet Union. As a social critic, Reginald Rose explores the internal conflict in the 1950’s where Communism was feared and racial segregation was still present. Not only does the play echo people’s fear of anyone who was different at the time, it addresses questions of prejudice in the American Jury system. The audience is challenged to evaluate their own possible prejudices and value human compassion over narrow-mindedness and bigotry. To convey his central concern, Rose’s stage directions are concise and delivered in two acts. He deliberately chose a particular setting and characters to use in the play and these essentially contribute to the tension and anger in the play and also clarify moral issues explored in the play.…

    Essay On Jury Duty

    My thoughts on my early morning experience during jury duty selection-I noticed a few elements of successful teaching. The judge was very explicit in explaining the judicial process for selecting a jury, and in explaining the process for a civil case. She presented, gave examples, and even checked for understanding throughout the process. It was funny how I started connecting her questioning of the potential jurors to be like TDQs in the way that each question was essential to some element of the case (were there any connections to the parties involved, the businesses, workers, was there a past experience like the case that could impact your thinking or decision…
