NOVEL REVISION/ACT II

SENIORS: Remember, you have to make your word count before doing deletions; I keep checking many of your novels and I'm not seeing any improvement with the benchmarks.  Don't let your grade suffer because of this!

SOPHOMORES:  We read Act II; in your notebook, under the title Act II, respond to the following: 
1. At the end of Act II, Juror Three shouts, "I'll kill him!"  What is the significance of this statement at this point in the play?
2. Suppose the defendant had had a first-rate attorney. What objective might that attorney have tried to achieve in cross-examining each of these witnesses?  In other words, what information would he have gotten or learned from these people that would have helped the defendant?
          a. the shopkeeper who sold the knife
          b. the old man who lived downstairs
          c. the woman who lived across the street
