Act Two

      The Second Act of “Twelve Angry Men” is focused on the untold story of being jurors. Most people often think of jurors being a group of people that listen to a trial, then go into another room and decide whether or not the person being tried is guilty or not guilty. Although that is true, there is more to that. Jurors have to reason why they voted guilty or not guilty with the other jurors to try to get everybody on the same vote. This process may take from a couple hours to a couple days. 

        For example, the jurors started getting frustrated with each other because they kept changing their vote and why they changed it. On page 27, the beginning of the second act, you can already tell that the jurors are getting frustrated with each other when juror number Three said, "All right! Who did it? What idiot changed his vote?". 

Do you think the boy killed his father? Do you think someone else killed his father? If the old man misjudged on his timing and really did see the boy running down the stairs, do you think he was trying to escape or trying to chase the killer?
