Act 3

              The third act of the Twelve Angry Men is where they make the decision that the boy on trial is in fact not guilty. The process was very stressful and frustrating. As the jurors were deciding whether or not the boy was guilty, they had to make connections from each of the testimony and the life in general. For example, on page 61 to 62, juror eight said “ I think it’s logical to say that she was not wearing her glasses in bed, and I don’t think she’d put them on to glance casually out the window……I say that she only saw a blur.” He makes the connection that usually people with glasses can’t see that good and therefore could have saw a figure committing the crime and had assumed that it was the boy that murdered his father.

              People make connections daily without ever realizing it. For example, when a text shows up on your screen and you only see what the person texted you. You reply back making the connection of that person and the conversation you are having with that person. Another example would be when girls gossip. Girls would say someone’s name to another girl and that girl will make a connection from the name and anybody she knows of that name. People everywhere, whether it is in a book, a movie, or in person, make connections everyday to almost everything they encounter that day.
