Because there would be no way to to prove that the patient was in pain or not because pain is not what something others can feel too since one pain for one person can feel almost like nothing while it is the worst pain for someone else. The next question that arose was what if the patient was truly in pain, but the doctors neglected to give him the medication necessary because he was black and seemed like he was a drug addict.

Holder believes that the nation’s view of harsher punishments has become less effective as “Mandatory minimum prison sentences” have come to be the norm.

Sherman Alexie’s “Capital Punishment” made me feel sad when reading it. I have always believed that America can do something other than execution of criminals. Something that surprised me in this poem was when the speaker says, “but the killer doesn’t want much: baked potato, salad, tall glass of ice water” (3-4). I always thought of criminal’s last meals being extravagant. I always thought their last meal would be expensive and something they don’t have very often.

To begin with, John Wilkes Booth didn't motivate the South, one of the main goals of his. The South had already given up at the time.

For hundreds of years, people have used art as a way of portraying strong emotions such as passion, lust and joy. One of the more powerful of these emotions is that of loss, which is often portrayed as a overwhelming and devastating feeling. Various forms of art have different ways of conveying emotions, whether it be through the use of melody in music, with colors in paintings or through the thoughts and actions of characters in literature. Several characters in Andre Dubus’ “Killings” clearly display their feelings of loss in the story through the way they are characterized and this highlights the devastating power that loss has on those who are forced to experience it.

He was outspoken in his advocacy of slavery, and his hatred of Lincoln. In a letter to his brother-in-law, John Wilkes Booth states, “This country was formed for the white, not for the black man. And looking upon African slavery from the stand-point, as held by those noble framers of our constitution, I for one, have ever considered it, one of the greatest blessings (both for themselves and us) that God ever bestowed upon a favored nation.” Booth was basically saying that slavery was a “blessing” for the white and the black man, and a very good thing that the creators of our country brought across. John Wilkes booth did not actually want to kill Lincoln, at first he only wanted to kidnap him until all confederate prisoners were released.

Death Penalty is a very ominous punishment to discuss. It is probably the most controversial and feared form of punishment in the United States. Many are unaware, but 31 of the 52 states have the Death penalty passes as an acceptable punishment. In the following essay, I will agree and support Stephen Nathanson's statement that "Equality retributivism cannot justify the death penalty. " In the reading, "An Eye for an Eye?", Nathanson gives objections to why equality retributivism is morally acceptable for the death penalty to be legal.
