Assignment task:
Think Piece 6: A Time to Kill
Address the prompts below in a thoughtfully composed essay. In the movie for this unit, Carl Lee, the father, referred to Jake, his attorney, as his secret weapon. Carl advised Jake on his defense, saying that Jakes sees him like the all-White jury sees him, and Carl asked what it would take to convince Jake to acquit. Jake took that advice and ran with it; it worked. Make an argument, based on the movie, as to whether or not you think Carl was right. Was Jake Carl's enemy? What fallacies (if any) were present in his thinking? As evidence for your argument, you can only use things from the movie itself, but you should demonstrate knowledge learned in this unit. Your completed assignment must be at least one page in length.
