1. The Green Mile Overview: Paul Edgecomb looks back on his life as a prison guard on death row in the 1930’s. He speaks of a man called John Coffey – he’s been accused of the murder of two children. But John has a special power that he can heal (He ‘helps’ Paul’s infection and a mouse that the inmates find in the prison.) Although John looks tough, he is scared of the dark, and respected by the men for his ‘help’.

2. My Clip My emotional response clip is the execution of John Coffey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYZIWH9Apfc What types of emotion did I experience? Although John has been accused of murder (and the implied rape) of two young girls, in the scene, you sympathise with John as it comes clear that he didn’t mean to it and he really is a gentle giant. He has this tough image on the outside, but inside he shows elements of a child by being scared of the dark. By also seeing the tears from the guards it shows he was respected and doesn’t deserve this treatment.

4. Sad in how the guards respected him as they cry for him, but they cannot change the situation.

5. Angry in how he is so kind-hearted and he never meant to do what he did – He actually feels regret for what he has done.
