Argument- The Death Penalty Should Not be an Option.

Assertion or Claim

• We shouldn't be able to decide if someone dies or lives, thats God's decision.

Commentary 1

•  It would be better for someone to stay alive and live with what they have done.

Commentary 2

• Instead of being put to death, live with what you have done, and in the end let God decide what happens to you.

Assertion or Claim

• When an execution is publicized, more murders occur in the day and weeks that follow that execution.

Commentary 1

• "The Linberg kidnapping was a good example," after that death penalty more kidnappings occured in the following two weeks.

Commentary 2

• Publicity of the execution, will most likely encourage crime instead of prevent it.

Opposing Claims/ They Say

• One would think, that murder is bad, but they still do it. Therefore they should be put to death.
• Taking someone's life is bad. Everyone should know that and face the consequences.

My Rebuttal/ I Say

• Although i grant that one should know murder is bad, but I still maintain that they should have to live with the decisions they have made.
• It will hurt them more to sit in jail and think about what they did that day/night when they commited murder, or rape.

One would think, that murder is bad, but they still do it. Therefore they should be put to death.

Taking someone's life is bad. Everyone should know that and face the consequences.

Although i grant that one should know murder is bad, but I still maintain that they should have to live with the decisions they have made.

It will hurt them more to sit in jail and think about what they did that day/night when they commited murder, or rape. So as you can see, the death penalty should not be enforced for the simple fact that we as humans, do not have the decision to end one's life.

My Thinking

I am an Inductive thinker, because i saw that the death penalty was being inforced and i created a hypothesis based on it.

The Red Badge of Courage

Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage is an amazingly good read. 
In the book, the author refers to Henry as the youth. And the theme of the book, is to don't worry about what others think of you. Because in the book he lies about getting shot because he doesn't want to be seen as someone who didn't do anything. So he has to use celerity to get away from the war.The authors voice is unique, it gives you a since of war in a way. It is very serious. But in the end, Henry grows up and faces his fears, because in the end he realizes he is still going to be scared he just has to face it. I would recommend this book to people who are trying to find themselves.
