the learning was too easy” (21). Thus, he is trying to achieve his full potential as an individual after being suppressed for so long. Furthermore, he wants to be recognized by the House of Scholars and join them in scientific discovery. He has always wanted to join the House of Scholars and discover the world around him, “We think there are mysteries in the sky…water...plants… We loved the science of things,” Now, being assigned as a street sweeper, he is not satisfied with the job he has been given, and Equality is looking for other creative outlets to express himself.

Oliver welcomes his audience into his discussion with a joke that immediately clarifies his

He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up’” (page 229). This is when Jack used terror to make sure that the boys would listen to him. This worked for him because after this all of the boys were eager to follow his next directions. He had final say and the boys always listened to him.

If I were on the jury, I would have voted to acquit Steve Harmon. I would acquit Steve Harmon because he was just a kid and was, if he was apart of the crime at all, probably pressured into it by King. Also Steve Harmon gave a very compelling story when he was on the stand. On top of that Mr. Sawicki said that he is an outstanding young man and that Steve is very involved in depicting his neighborhood in a positive

In Twelve Angry Men author, Reginald Rose, demonstrates the importance of not only serving on Jury Duty but a valuable life lesson for the jurors as well. Rose began the play with a description of twelve diverse men with twelve very unique personalities. Rose is trying to consult an illustration on why it’s important to see every piece of evidence by showing emotion through characters resolving them to argue and disagree. He is trying to show how even when you don't want to do something, put an extra 110% of your effort into it, the life of another, isn't something to joke around with. Jury duty is called upon and mandatory when you’re a U.S. citizen.

Judge Danforth played a decent sized role in the trials, being that he is the judge, he is also the person who decides the fate of others. Even if people are bringing in new evidence he quickly becomes defensive about it, most likely he does not want to take in new information because he would have to reevaluate the case. “No uncorrupted man may fear this court, Mr. Hale! None!

Can a body wash make you more of a man? Old Spice unquestionably has the response and they 're not afraid to indicate that either. Old Spice published the ad called "Questions" mid 2010. The ad mockingly stereotypes aspects of masculinity while asking men and female viewers to evaluate the masculinity of their man or themselves. Although "Questions" does little to describe the product it advertises, it proves its value as an compelling advertisement because it has all the formula to persuade; it touches our love of humor while creating a mental relationship between the product and masculinity by utilizing manly specimens to carry these points.

I believe this because of the existence of so much judgment among Equality 7-2521’s fellow men. They believed it should be a certain way of living and completing conventional tasks which was absurd and irrational. “The moral principle to adopt in the issue, is: Judge, and be prepared to be judged.” stated by Rand. I feel that Equality 7-2521 wanted to escape this concept.

In the story, “Harrison Bergeron” the main character, Harrison, ( and other people ) were handicapped for being more intelligent than other people. The government decided that wasn’t ok, and that they have to do something or else not everyone could be equal. By the end of the story, Harrison proves to be mysterious, confident, and brave by all the chaotic events that happened. Harrison stands up against society and shows everyone how he is not afraid or angry about being different. Being different is ok, people do not have to bow down the the expectations of society; they just need to understand being themselves make them their own person, and make them unique in their own way.

Juror 3 was intimidating the other jurors, trying to convince them to stick with the guilty verdict. Juror 2 was guilty of self-censorship agreeing with the rest of the group to influence his decisions. The whole group began with the illusion of unanimity. According to Janis illusion of unanimity is, “the majority view and judgments are assumed to be unanimous.” (Psysr.org,

Juror Nine votes not guilty because he admires Juror Eight for standing alone against the majority. Once the jurors start to discuss the case again Juror Seven questions who else would have the motive to kill this boy’s father. Juror Eight rebuts by saying, “As far as I know, we’re supposed to decide whether or not the boy on trial is guilty. We’re not concerned with anyone else’s motives here” (Rose 240).

1. The character that best exemplifies the theme of ‘prejudice’ without a doubt would have to be the 10th Juror. He bases his initial verdict on the suspect, upon the fact that he was already given a fair trial and considering that the vote was 11 to 1 in favor of guilty initially, there was no point in discussing the boy’s guiltlessness and ‘wasting his time’. Not only that, but the 10th Juror also bases his opinion on the fact that he apparently “lived among ‘em all my life” with ‘em’ referring to those types of kids.

After extreme perspiration from the grueling heat, the eleven jurors followed Juror #8’s lead for a verdict of not guilty. Even if some of the men did not truly believe the young man was not guilty due to the their own self righteousness, in the end the verdict was finally decided. Sadly, we cannot see the young man’s reaction, but we all probably can guess he’d be doing backflips with

When he was challenged by others on his way of life he loses control and does things that make him the gossiped person in town. Gives everyone a sense of awe. Gives them something to talk about. Our need for attention rules us all. We do things that we should not
