Blog post 4

In the article, "Capital Punishment is Dead Wrong" by Olivia H., mentions that the death penalty is a wrong idea. Olivia is debating that using death penalty as a punishment is wrong, it shows inhumane behavior, and doesn't give a chance to the person to learn their mistake. She also mentions how the death penalty mistakenly killed innocent lives.
For example she states that, "Capital punishment is the most ­irreparable crime governments perpetrate without consequence, and it must be abolished". This shows her opinion based on this issue. She mentions the word irreparable, and also she mentioned that it must be abolished. I think that she dislikes the idea of capital punishment because she's using vocabulary that is going against capital punishment.
Also, she states, "The death penalty is murder on the sly and it’s dead wrong.". In this quote it is self explanatory that she doesn't like the idea of death penalty. She mentions that it is a murder on the sly. She also mentions that it is dead wrong, using words such as dead, and wrong shows she doesn't like it. The author wants to show that death penalty is an heinous action.
In conclusion, after reading this article I realized that death penalty is wrong. I always thought that the death penalty showed to not do crimes, and it will scare people doing crimes. However, many innocent lives have been killed, and now I decided that death penalty is wrong and I agree with the author.
