Twelve Angry Men Changing Elements

In the play Twelve Angry Men it was written so an nineteen year old young African American man, is on trial for the murder of his father. The play is about the jurors and how one person can change everyone else's decision. This play is taking place in the 1950's and the judges are white and racist, and a young black mans life is in their hands. In the beginning of the story all of the jurors but one believed that he was guilty just based on the color of his skin. Juror ten says in the play,

"You're not gonna' tell me we're supposed to believe this kid, knowing what he is."

This quote shows how racist juror ten is that he won't believe the young man just because of the color of his skin. This quote is showing that he isn't even looking at any of the evidence, he is just assuming that he is lying.  Juror ten also says again about how he thinks the young man is lying by saying,

 "I've lived among them all my life. You can't believe a word they say. You know that. I mean, they're born liars."

Juror ten is so racist that he said that the young man was born a liar because of the color of his skin. He was so blinded by the color of his skin that he would not even listen to his story.
But what if the young man was white, do you think that the jury would have gave him a fair shot from the beginning rather then having to have one juror change everyone's mind. Or what if all of the jurors were racist, then an innocent life would have been lost because of the ignorance of others.

Twelve Angry Men Untold Story

Twelve Angry Men is an untold story about juries and how their choices decide what happens to another persons life. This play is about a nineteen year old young man on trial for his fathers murder. In the beginning of the play the judge explains to all of the jurors that this is not a game and that they are about to determine someones life. The judge does this by saying,

"Murder in the first degree—premeditated homicide—is the most serious charge in our criminal courts."

Towards the beginning of the play all of the jurors believed that the young man was guilty but one. The consequences of the young man being found guilty are very extreme. He would be put to death with the electric chair. Juror number eight understands these consequences and does not want to give up on the young man just yet. He realizes that the young man can very possibly be not guilty so he wants to give him a chance. Juror eight decides to vote not guilty so the nineteen year old still has a chance. Juror eight then talks to all of the other jurors to try to convince them. Juror eight says,

 "Here's what I think. And I have no personal feelings about this. I just wanna talk about facts." 

What juror eight is doing by saying this is telling all of the other jurors to look at the evidence and to not make any irrational decisions, because there is an eighteen year old's life at risk.

Eventually the minds of the other jurors switched and the eighteen year old was found not guilty. This is the untold story of juror eight and how he saved an eighteen year old kids life.

Twelve Angry Men Theme

The play Twelve Angry Men is about a murder trial, which a nineteen year old young man is accused of murdering his father, with a knife. This trial depends on the eighteen year old's life because if he does get convicted he will be sent to the electric chair, so it is up to the jury to decide if a young man lives or dies. Right before the jurors go and decide how the young mans life is going to turn out the judge said to them,

 "It's now your duty to sit down and try and separate the facts from the fancy."

The judge wanted to remind them how important it is that they make the right decision, because there is a young mans life at stake. There is many important themes in this play.
The main theme that stands out to me is that every vote counts. In the play it begins with every person thinking the young man is guilty but one. He then talks and persuades the other jurors to actually listen to the evidence and tried to persuade them that the eighteen year old is not guilty. 
In the play Juror number 3 stated,

 "Here's what I think. And I have no personal feelings about this. I just wanna talk about facts." 

This quote shows that juror number three is not with or against the nineteen year old because he does not know the nineteen year old but all he does know is the facts, and if they are going to decide about someones life they should look at the facts very carefully.
One by one the jurors that believed that he is guilty stared to change their mind when they actually looked at the evidence and talked about it.
Eventually they all decided that the young man would be not guilty.
