“Race for the Double-Helix”
What were your first impressions of the main characters?
James Watson: An American biologist man who has a research about the DNA. For me, James Watson at first was a bit weird guy because of the way he stared and looked at people around him. He is a mysterious guy and a bit naughty to the ladies he has seen. As one of the character said, he is the “boy-wonderer”. He is also a very eager to know the research and very observant.
Francis Crick: He does the same research with Watson, they are both teammates. He is also eager to know what is in DNA and the relationship of it with the double-helix.
Rosalind Franklin: A French woman who do the same research as Watson and Crick. She is sensitive and wishes to work without the help of Watson and Crick.
Maurice Wilkins: I thought he wasn’t important in the presentation.
Compare the research approaches/ styles/ attitudes of Watson and Crick with those of Franklin. The research style of Watson and Crick is way different than Franklin. The two gentlemen are more in an observing style. They usually go together and explore the facts that they have and try to talk with other people. They also observe and ask some people who know their study and try to figure out of the outcome. They do experimentations and read some books to create an answer to the problem. While Franklin, she is more of a silent worker. She does her own research without the help of Watson and Crick, but with her assistants. She is usually in the laboratory to do experimentations and studies well the object which has DNA. She is more focused on the research than the two men.
Do you think Franklin should have shared her information more freely with the others? Do you think she should have worked more closely with Wilkins? Why? Why not? For my opinion, yes, she should have shared her information more freely with the
