*The Witness for the Prosecution*
1. If you were a film or stage play producer, which actors would you choose to play the role of the main characters? Support your answer.
Mr. Mayherne would be played by Alec Baldwin because every time I look at him I think he looks like an investigator, and he is a good actor. 
Leonard Vole will be played by Ralph Fiennes because he looks like a villian and he is a very recognised actor. 
Kate Winslet would play the role of Mrs. Vole because she is my favorite actress and she would know how to make the difference between Mrs. Vole and the mystery woman.
Meryl Streep would play the role of Emily French because she has the age of the character.
The maid would be played by Zuzanna Szadkowski because she plays the role of a maid in one of my favorite tvshows and I think she does a wonderful job.
2. Which are the main differences between the movie and the book? Which one had more suspense?
I think the movie was the one that had more suspense because they added more details to the story and also because it makes it intresting that the judges appear.
The main differences that I can remember are that it ends differently. Appart from the fact that Leonard Vole was guilty too, the movie has more details, referring that Leonard Vole was seeing another woman and that's how Romaine got the courage to kill him. Also there are more characters in the movie than in the book. Those are the only differences I could remember because I was absent 2 days and I didn't see the whole movie.
3. Do you think the case could be solved easily in our time? Why or why not?
I think it could because of all the tests that can be done now. Maybe just examining if the weapon had digital fingerprints of the person who comitted the crime. Also there would be more sources to get information.
4. Is a blood test enough to determine a person's identity? Support your answer.
No because many people have the same type of blood.
5. Which is an undenieable evidence to determine a person's identity? Support your answer.
Digital fingerprints are one type. There are not 2 fingerprints that are the same. Also a hair may be useful because of the gens that are there.

6. If not for Romaine's testimony, do you consider it a perfect crime? Support your answer.
I don't think so because Leonard Vole was the only real suspect and his alibi was not good or well prepared. I think he could have done it so much better. But there is not perfect crime.
7. Which is your favorite character? Explain your preference.
My favorite character is Romaine Vole because she is really smart. I think it was clever what she did and that was a smart way to get his husband free. She is a good actress and I like that.

Man in the Mirror
The images that are possitive for me are the children at the end, laughing, and the images of important people that have done a big change in society in a good way, like Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela.
The images I think are nehative are the skinny children that are starving, also the persons like Hitler, that have tried to change society in a bad way.
1. Why are the lyrics linked to the images?
The lyrics say that there are children in the street with nothing, and there are images about children starving and working hard to get some money. This also relates to the fact that there are persons who don''t care about what happens to other persons and they act in a very discriminating kind of way, like Hitler or the Ku Klux Klan.
2. How would you classify this videos and why?
I would classify them as real and sad because though we don't live it day by day, there are millions of people who doesn't have anything to eat or to protect themselves from the cold, and still, we as a society don't care and we are selfish for that.
3. Why does the singer have to do with the people who appear there?
Maybe he is related to some of them like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela etc., because he admires them and he want to make a change in the world like they did. And the others like Hitler or the Ku Klux Klan maybe apppear, because the singer wants to send a message that expresses how people can be and how can they be mean and careless about others, like them, and he tells the audience not to be like them and to look in a mirror, and start changing ourseleves before we want to change everything.
