The death penalty is an increasingly hot and pressing issue in the United States because there are many strongly opinionated people‚ and no one can seem to find a solution that will satisfy both sides of this issue.

the southern charm one associates with being below the Mason-Dixon Line; however they are sometimes a bit rough around the edges and opinionated.

This‚ in addition‚ proves that Scout can be unruly when she wants to be. Another great quote from Lee’s story‚ to go along with
