the government. The Capital Punishment Amendment Act (CPAA) of 1868 focused on the ending of public hangings and aimed for a more humane approach to hangings with professional hangmen and the process of moving hangings inside the prison walls to make them less of a fun event‚ and more to actually represent why they were being hanged because society had lost what the fundamental meaning of the hangings actually were.

2012 Your Never Satisfied with What You Have If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff was one of my favorite books as a child. I used to make my mom read it to me every night by saying “cookie.” This story is a story more for preschoolers and young children learning to read. It is what they consider a picture book.

In the essay “A Hanging‚” George Orwell objectively describes his experience as a witness to a state ordered killing. In doing so Orwell does not give readers a bias decision. I believe Orwell purposefully admits what crime the prisoner committed to get the reader to question whether we have the right to kill other human beings. Therefore‚ the morality of the situation is called in play rather than the author just describing the events as they happen. One does have to wonder how people could eat
