Cause and Effect--Rising Action

Below are clips that make up Act II of the movie . Please write a thoughtful sentence or two about each clip, describing how the scene adds to the tension of the film AND how the event sets up another event (cause and effect)

(Hint: You may want to consider what would happen if this scene did not occur)

Example: The Knife Argument

This scene creates tension among the jurors because some strongly believe that the unique knife belongs to the boy, while juror #8 proves that other possibilities can indeed exist. Shortly after, juror #9 switches to "not guilty."
