Death penalty

1. The death penalty is used to deter others from the same crimes.
2. There’s many people against the death penalty.
3. People have a wait period after the decision of death. It may be months or years until the execution takes place.
4. Law abiding citizens don’t feel secure until a community criminal is taken down.
5. Most people want criminals to feel the suffrage of their victims.

1. “I don`t believe deterrence is what most proponents seek from the death penalty. Our most profound emotional response is to want criminals to suffer as their victims did.” After the tragic series of current events (innocent lives being taken) many people believe that life in prison or the death penalty is too easy of a punishment.
2. “He must have time to make peace with God.” This is ironic that the same people who decided to play God (by taking away a life), are the same people who decided to allow a criminal to make spiritual peace.

1. Do you not believe that taking away a criminals life is equally wrong?
2. Do you think legal judicial execution is totalitarianism, if a “law abiding citizens”, can not do the same?

1. The authors wrote these articles to defend, and persuade readers on their beliefs in death penalty. There’s obviously two standpoints on execution, there’s pro death penalty and abolitionists.

Thesis

The CEO of “iFixit” states, “grammar is my litmus test… If job hopefuls can’t distinguish between ‘to,’ and ‘too,’ their applications go into the bin” (Is Our Children Learning Enough Grammar to Get Hired?). Creating discriminatory decisions against an individual in the work field is undeniably askew. Prejudice based on poor grammar results in cultural shunning, descriminaton of economic classes, and the unjustly elimination of indivuals from the elite minds.

Crappy first

Reading Response

1. Most writers create crappy first drafts
2. The first draft is a “down” draft
3. The second draft is a “up” draft
4. The final draft is a dental draft
5. Writing crappy first drafts gives you a “good second, and a terrific third”

1. “The right words and sentences just does not come pouring out” it’s relieving to know that others struggle with finding the right words. I’ve written many essays knowing exactly what I want to say, but clueless on how to execute thoughts into sentences.
2. “The first draft is the child’s draft. Where you let it pour all out” this describes my first drafts perfectly. I always laugh when rereading my draft, because of my horrible grammar, and vocabulary.

1. The author wrote this story to encourage writers, especially writers that creates crappy first drafts.

1. Does technique of writing require a lot of patience?
