The death penalty itself should be "executed" because of racial inequities‚ the concept of murder‚ the possibility of error‚ lack of deterrence‚ the cost‚ and an overwhelmed legal system. "The goal of capital punishment is revenge" (Introduction 1). Capital punishment is simply an outlet for the bloodlust of the American people (Introduction 1). The death penalty is very discriminatory when it comes to racial issues. "The death penalty is fraught with abuses and

Wafeeq Mujahid November 21‚ 2012 ELA 9 Does death cause change in people and its surroundings? A French poet once said‚ “All changes‚ even the most longed for‚ have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another (Anatole France).” What does this mean though? I believe it means that change is a result of death‚ physically or mentally. In The Book Thief death causes changes in the characters and the setting. Liesel Meminger

punishment retaliates an alarming effect to society’s safety. I strongly affirm with my resounding agreement to the establishment of capital punishment to eradicate the increasing occurrences of such heinous crimes. Primarily speaking‚ the necessity of death penalty has been the prolonged clamour of victims’ immediate family and relatives of these predators who demoralize and disrespect the life of their preys. A plea for justice has always been the battle cry of these innocent victims who impatiently

In a world without gravity‚ one would be weightless‚ but always nauseous. Because of this‚ it would be very difficult to complete a lot of your daily activities without throwing up. If you tried to eat something while you and your food are floating around‚ you will probably have a lot of trouble trying to hold your food down. In 0-g‚ life would be very hard.

I agree that teenagers deserve life without parole for heinous crimes like first and second degree murder depending on whether or not the teenage offender planned out their crimes or the crime was committed in the heat of the moment out of anger or sadness.

I strongly agree with the statement “there is no literature without conflict”. It applies well to the play Antigone by Jean Anouilh. The most significant conflict exists between Antigone and Creon the king. Despite this major conflict‚ there is also another minor conflict between Antigone and Ismene.
