One Used In The Murder

Innocence Of The Boy
626 wordsReflection: Twelve Angry Men In Twelve Angry Men, I observed the traits of an undisciplined mind when two of the jurors started to play tic-tac-toe, or some sort of game, while Mr. Davis was speaking about the trial.

Old Man
219 wordsYou might consider that Manolin's name means "little hand". There is a theme in epic literature (and, as I have argued elsewhere, this novel is an epic!) of the father passing his skill and knowledge to a son, handing it down, we say in English.

He wishes at that point that he had the boy with him. Manolin represents the help...
