    What is death penalty? Death penalty is when a state or the government issues the punishment of execution to some one who has committed a crime. It has always been one of the most highly debated issues in the United States. Many Americans are against the capital punishment or commonly knows as the death penalty because they fear its too expensive or there are religious reasons to oppose the death penalty or some other reasons. But my point of view is just like the bible and what it says "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" meaning if you killed some body you ought to be killed also. Most people aren't worried about the life after committing crimes because they know that the laws aren't strict enough to make them to stop committing crimes. To these people, laws don't hold them back from doing what they want to do. Capital punishment is mainly used for murderers and other serious criminals dangerous to our society. People who oppose the capital punishment clearly don't feel the pain and the trouble the victims and their families has gone through. So, is capital punishment necessary? Yes, capital punishment deters crime and gives closure to families of the victim.…

    English 101 has been an amazing class and I feel like I have grown more than I expected. I was apprehensive about taking an English class because I have been away from school for almost seventeen years. I have not written an essay since 1996 and I knew many things have changed. I was especially concerned with citations. However, I found myself being able to work though citations with little effort.…

    Being literate, as defined in Webster's New World Dictionary, is "the ability to read and write" or "to be educated". By my own definition, literacy is the ability to read, write, and verbally communicate, while also comprehending those writings, verses, or phrases. However, literacy is not only reading and writing. In order for one to be considered literate in today's society, that person must possess the skill of remembering and understanding what was just said or read. Our American culture demands literacy everyday, from being able to read street signs and signals, to understanding contracts and important forms. One is no longer considered literate in American culture if they are only able to read…

    “Out of three hundred seven million people residing here in the United States, 11.1 million of them are immigrants” (Tabarrok). Immigrants migrate at different times, for plenty of different reasons, and from various foreign countries. Immigrants come to the U.S in hope for a more prominent and better life that entails freedom from the bad stuff happening in their countries and also opportunity for themselves and their children to live a better life. The request for opening the border to immigrants would highly benefit the U.S. Most illegal immigrants are hard-working and take care of their job. The economy would improve greatly with the number of jobs increasing; the U.S would be able to spend the money they use to secure the borders on more essential matters. Immigrants are considered valuable for Americans. Also, if the people in the country are pleased, the government is satisfied with its citizens. The mixing of cultures is highly beneficial for the country’s growth literally and figuratively.…

    Authors use language to inspire people to follow their beliefs and make the world a better place. This can be to persuade them to follow their religious, racial, or even political beliefs. An article published by the Washington Post, called “Ohio town holds rare history: Races mix freely for nearly 200 years,” describes a town in Ohio called Longtown and how it has been kept alive throughout two centuries. While most segregation ended about 50 years ago, segregation has been ruled out completely for almost 200 years with integrated schools and churches in the city of Longtown, Ohio.…
