Death Penalty

Assertion Claim
  • The death penalty should be used around the nation.
Evidence/ Concrete Detail
  • The main reason that the death penalty should be enforced around the nation is because "69% of Americans" agree with the death penalty. The rest of the Americans that do not agree with this are soft hearted individuals.
    • I am part of the bold 69% of Americans that agree with the death penalty.
    • I believe that this form of capital punishment is one of the most effective known to man kind. 
  • Only 27% of Americans accuse the death penalty of being morally incorrect in today's modern civilized society that we live in today.
    • That means that the other 77% of Americans believe that the death penalty is morally correct.
    • So why is it not enforce all around the nation?

Opposing Claims

  • Or it is a barbaric way to punish someone.

My Rebuttal

  • And I think that you should not have a reason to be accused,if you did not do the crime so if they kill you you should not havve got blamed.

Book review over Red Badge of Courage.

 Theme, the authors style, and the setting of the book all played a very important part. Those are the three most important parts to this book.

Theme. I believe that the theme of the Red Badge of Courage is personal struggles. A prime example of the theme being overcoming personal struggles is, on page 22 Henry is afraid that when it comes down to it he will run. But on page 116 Henry is not retreating from the battle. So it shows that no matter what your personal struggles in life are, you can overcome them.

Authors style. The authors style during this book was very important to time period that this book was placed in.One example of the authors style is, during the whole book the author spells out the word as they would have been said back then and not in proper english. And he made the book more desirable to read for all ages because he did not get very gory so it was more reader friendly.

Setting. The setting of "The Red Badge of Courage" is very important. The book taking place in rural areas adds a whole new aspect to this book. Because if this book took place in a town instead of the country the book would have been a completly different book. So the setting in every book plays a significant part.

Theme, authors style, and setting are all important parts to making this extravegant book." The red Badge of Courage".
