In Class Writing – 11/19

Sympathetic- Are they dying peacefully. distorted people helped him support his argument. For because if they sit in jail they waste more tax payer dollars. Spend more on prisons then in school

Neutral- Yes on interest in the topic. No info on the death penalty. They don’t really care, as long as it is humane.

Hostile- No one should die, every one should have forgiveness. No experience. Religious. Proof for humane death.

In-Class Writing: Write a summary of your conversations and what you learned (especially if anything surprised you).

I learned that my class mates are very surprised that I support the death penalty. May of my classmates oppose the death penalty because of moral and religious beliefs. Before, I agreed with my classmates, but over time I have grown to support the death penalty, but only in regards to serious murder cases and only lethal injection. I also agreed with my classmate on her argument in her paper that the prison system sets people up to fail and that it is inhumane. She found it surprising how I supported her argument but I was also for the death penalty. I also learned that many of my classmates were neutral on the topic, most of them were neutral because they didn’t know much information on the topic, and it just didn’t apply to them. I will have to convince most of my class mates to 1) agree with my rare statement and 2) convince them that they should care.
