Essay 4

I think that for Essay 4 I am going to write a position paper. The main issue in “The Green Mile” is the death penalty, so I think I will write over that. I am going to have the position of being against the death penalty. I can cover many things if I use this, with the main issue of killing someone even though it may be to keep someone safe. It is not right for someone to take another’s life when it is not your choice or decision. A life for a life is not a good rule to live by. I think I will have to begin a new essay, because there is not really any technology in “The Green Mile” besides the electric chair. The electric chair is not really a big enough technology issue, but it can be discussed in my essay about the death penalty. There are many ways to give out the death sentence, but why use the electric chair? I hope that I will have enough information to write a six page paper over the death penalty, but maybe I will find some other death penalties that were common during that time. In my first position statement paper, I was already against technology. After reading this book, I am even more against technology, because it is used to take away a life. I may use a little bit of that essay, but I think I am going to mainly write a new essay over the death penalty.
