    Death by Choice Some people fear that death means the end of life‚ and others believe death is just a mere phase to eternal existence. According to the poem; “Death‚ Be Not Proud” by John Donne‚ he clarifies death has no power over an individual. Death is just a temporary sleep leading to everlasting life‚ or could this death be the end? The subject of death is a reality that one needs to face every day. There is nothing one can do about it. In today’s world death is known as “the total and permanent

    Death of a Salesman To state that the playwright by Arthur Miller‚ Death of a Salesman cannot translate or cross cultural and racial boundaries is complete ignorance and goes against what makes this piece of literature a classic. The timelessness and universality of a work of literature is what makes it great and stand the test of time. If Death of a Salesman did not have this “universality‚” this ability to translate to any audience within any time period then it would not be thought of as classic

    death penalty

    • 2 Pages

    It is more reasonable to utilize the death penalty than to abolish it. The death penalty should not be abolished because (1) it deters people from committing murder and (2) because the death penalty gives peace of mind to the victims and their families and puts an end to the crime.I believe that the death penalty is a fair punishment for capital crimes. Even being in prison and lock up behind bars is still dangerous to other cell mates that are close by the person who committed murder

    Government Although the death penalty may seem inhuman to many people‚ it is effective through the cost of death vs. life in prison‚ income level‚ morality and irrevocable mistakes. The death penalty is only used for the most harsh and cruel crimes. It’s surprising to me that this punishment is not a federal law. Every state has its choice to make this penalty legal or not. Seventeen states in America do not use the death penalty‚ which means that 33 states do use it.
