The tone the author uses gives insight into Oswalds search for power, which may have lead him to the assassination of JFK. It is excerpts from the passage such “gripping heavy chains,” (line 44) and “how do we know the momentum is not insane,” ( line 48) that hints toward the power struggle that is present in Oswald’s life.

Seemingly backed by the constant attempts of the foreman to compose the static of opinions expressed by those voting “guilty, Juror 8’s war see’s many other jurors reformed. Perhaps the most substantial tool to Juror 8s cause is the voice of Juror 5. Having grown up amidst the slums of New York and socialized with the people amongst it, he claims to empathize and appeal the room to seek common ground with the boy. Opposing the prejudice of 10, regarding ‘these people’ as “wild animals”, Juror 5 lathers on personalized glue to Juror 8’s prose, sticking himself into the audience that listens.

As a child, Oliver is a neglected, problematic young boy, who encounters two near death experiences and is “born with in turned feet.”(5) Oliver is never able to get a break in life and turns into a rambunctious, undisciplined teenager who is never held accountable for his mistakes. Oliver never has much responsibility until “he married, which seemed like yet another mishap.”(48) At this moment in life, Oliver turned into the “protector of the weak”(59) due to that fact he finally has someone who looks to him for the guidance and care he has never been fortunate enough to receive. Oliver evolves from a neglected child into a reckless teenager, then the evolution takes a turn for the better and he becomes a man that can be depended upon.
