how about this one? Don't know the AEL version, so sorry if it is a repeat
Bridging Text and Context: 80 – 100 words (20 points)
Reginald Rose, the author of Twelve Angry Men, wrote the play after
his own experience sitting on the jury of a manslaughter (murder)
case. Describing that time, he wrote: “This was my first experience on
a jury, and it left quite an impression on me. The receipt of my jury
notice activated many grumblings1 ... most of which began with lines
like, ‘...eight million people in New York and they have to call me!’
... But strangely, the moment I walked into the courtroom ... and
found myself facing a strange man whose fate was suddenly more or less
in my hands, my entire attitude changed ... I doubt whether I have
ever been so impressed in my life with a role I had to play, and I
suddenly became so earnest2 that, in thinking about it later, I
probably was unbearable3 to the eleven other jurors.”
How has reading the information above added to your general
understanding of the play?
