This is the first time I have heard about “waterboarding”‚ I have seen it in movies but never knew it was a real life situation people can face. In my opinion about torturing people to be able to get the information involving an attack or any kind of crime‚ is unacceptable.

Many people have committed crimes and terror attacks

American Goldfinch I always thought getting out of your parent’s household was supposed to be fun and exciting‚ but all I am feeling is stress and regret. I had the perfect support of my mother and father always doing everything they could to make sure I was doing well in school. My mother giving me small snacks as I finished up my homework and my father with small motivational speeches that always helped me continue when I was stuck on a homework problem.

In the story where Tris finds out that her divergence is just something that differentiates people’s genes in the outside world‚ is something that I am able to connect to. In the city she grew up in‚ she was told that being divergent was a secret that you shouldn’t tell anyone. Divergence is something only people who possess something special acquire.

If a person commits a crime‚ they should obviously be punished as with any justice system. However‚ revenge should be avoided as an option. Fortunately most justice systems nowadays do

However‚ it felt to me as if he had received writers block. The poem could have gone on for a couple of more stanzas. I am no poem expert‚ but I feel as if the poem could have gotten into more details about the stars‚ and the astronomer. However‚ that is just me. Another one of his poems‚ “I Hear America

Really a Time to Kill?” Alvanti Smith PHI: 107 Victor Reppert September 14‚ 2009 To sentence someone to death for a crime is not justice. It is state sanctioned killing. Killing the accuser does not help the victims or their families. The death penalty is not deterrence to the crime. A person should have to live with his or her actions for the rest of their life. I feel state- sanction killing is an act of revenge. If I killed someone‚ because they killed someone in my family I will be charged
