What did the deliberation process show us?
It showed us that many still would like to see men in total control. They feel that women aren't suitable to handle the pressure of being a juror and having to make such a complicated decision. They feel that they would allow there emotions to get in the way, and feel for they young boy because he was abuse all his life and had the right to retaliate. With me being a woman i feel that women are more capable of making a difficult decision just as a man could or even better. Unlike men, women look at the greater picture of things and the loop holes that closed minded men miss.
How does Juror #8/Mr Davis use logic and reasoning? How did he argue effectively?
He feels that they shouldn't decide in five minutes whether the kid is guilty or not guilty, because his life is at stake. He also pointed out that the kid had been abused since he was very young and they he is a troubled young man. He feels that they owe him the right to think this decision through thoroughly. He also pointed out why didn't one of the jurors believe the woman's testimony over the young boys because they both are one of them. He also points out that this young boy has been abused all his life and that's what he is used to, and the fact that his father smacked him twice couldn't put him over the edge to kill him. He also points out that suppose the witnesses could be wrong, and maybe they didn't see what they thought they saw. Mr Davis always points out the impossible to the men, but he thinks possible and what really happened that night. He also points out that he doesn't believe that hes guilty or not guilty, he just wants to hear more and what others think. He also starts to break down each witness' testimony and points out the things that couldn't possibly happen, but they claim did. His argue was so effective that it started to persuade others that there is a possibility that the young man could be innocent. The other men even started to dig deeper into the witness' testimony and found things that couldn't have happen.

Life as a Hippie on USC Upstate's Campus.
I thought i was really cool to dress up as a hippie on Halloween, but many people thought i was dressed up for Halloween early. My friends laughed at me and thought it was very amusing, but i knew my purpose. I really didn't enjoy people staring and pointing at me to their friends, but when they looked around and noticed that i wasn't the only hippie i was comforted. It was really cold, and the fact that i only had one class made me feel even better. It was also really cold with it on, and that's why i had stockings on and a jacket as well. My friends questioned me about where could i find an outfit like that, when i simply went through my mothers old clothes. She wasn't a hippie but they sure didn't dress any different back then. I even wore it to the club that night, i found it to be very funny and amusing.
