♥MarTia♥- essay 4

if you have the power to see the future, should you be obligated to use your power to intervene and change things, or just let nature take its course and let whatever is going to happen happen?? this is the topic for my essay. in the novel the dead zone john smith can see the future, and he is using his power to help people in some cases and stop things from happening. but should he be obligated to do those things? i don't think so. of course for his own welfare, and for the welfare of those he loves or cares for, he'll want to, or even be glad to, but i don't think he should be obligated to do it. maybe he shouldn't intervene at all. but if i knew that something bad was
going to happen that would affect me or someone i cared about, i'd definitly interfere. but no i dont believe that he should be obligated to. there are too many bad things happening everywhere for him to possibly solve every problem, but if they are big, drastic things, then i'd hope that you'd want to help. but everything happens for a reason, right?? well, i know this sucks, and my ideas aren't all clear, but yea

I believe that the death penalty should not be enforced. First, I do not believe anyone is beyond redemption. Second, I belive that the death penalty is emoral. Finally, the death penalty expresses that revenge is justified.
I believe that no one is beyond redemption. I think that everyone deserves a second chance. Poeple should not be killed because of there mistakes. Gandi said that "a eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind". I do not believe that killing someone is in anyway justice. If a someone is found guilty of murder they are treated like the scums of the earth. Not that Im saying that we should be all lovy dovy with them. But when we go and kill the killer what does that make us. We killed a person. The person might of been a criminal but either way if you kill someone you are a murderer. It just doesnt make any sense. If someone kills someone they are condemed but if we kill the killer we are rewarded. that dosent make sense. I believe that are propally a couple of good people on death row. People whbo are truely sorry for their crimes. Im not trying to say that i think they shouldnt be punished, but i think killing them is a way to extreme. Life is precious and i do not think any human being has the right to take it away from someone.
I belive that the death penalty is emoral. I think emoral is a understatement. I think it is disgusting. It makes savages out of people. People say that murders deserve the death penalty because they killed out of cold blood. Do we not do the same when we execute them? Its not like the "executioner" is against what hes doing. The excecutioner probally thinks what he is doing is right and probally thinks the person desreves to die. The electric chair is especially emoral. Sending electricty through someones body till the die. Thats horrible.
Finally, I think that the death penalty jutifies revenge. It makes it a legal way for the familys of the murderers victim to seek revenge for there family member. People think that if the killer is killed justice is served. But what of the mother, child, family of the killer. Why could anyone put that pain on another family, when they knew how much it hurt.

I do not beleive the death penalty is justified. it is emoral and it makes people think that revenge is justified. No one deserves to die and no one is beyond redemption.

Steven Barajaz Essay 4 Ideas

I'm going to write my 4th essay about the reasons and effects of outcasts, because in the book "Cell" by Stephen King there are many social issues but the social issue that stuck out the most to me was, how easily humans can outcast there own just for there own benefit or so they can be part of a whole group. In the book people were exiled by there own, because they had killed a large group of zombies, and the zombies warned all the others that these people were to be left alone, and nobody should associate themselves with them. This isn't just an issue in a book, you see this in every school or workplace, in our society and it's not exceptable. Every group of people seem to always segregate and discriminate against another group or person which is maybe just the least bit different. Maybe their hair is not as pretty, they weigh more or less, they "talk funny", etc. but whatever the excuse its not right. It happens for the most part, because someone who is popular, does not like someone, and they just want to make it known that these people shoudnt be liked or that nobody should have anything to do with these people.

Angel Travis's essay 4

Well in 'Salem's Lot there was an underlying issue of stereotyping and social outcasting steaming from gossip. Form there a world of problems flow.
Illegal immigration fuels numerous arguments should we build the wall or not, should we deport all ppl of Mexican birth that are not American nationals yet, regardless of family ties.
From one little rumor a war can begin, race wars, gender wars, religion wars etc.
A prank can lead to a war in no time at all.
As Americans we have a responsibility to the rest of the world.
We are the melting pot of all nations, creeds, sexes ,orientation etc. we can not allow ignorance to destroy our country, education is our best defense.
I am going focus my essay on immigration.
The wall between the US and Mexico should not be built.
If we build a wall there then we need to fence in the entire country. why should we allow some people to come here and not others.

If you knew something terrible was going to happen would you change the future? In kings book The Dead Zone John Smith goes into a coma and when he comes out of it he can see the future. He sees a man, greg stilson, and what he plans on doing and decides he has to change it. But that is they question the book raises, if you knew something bad was going to happen would you do everything in your power to do so. I mean i would not want to see the future, but if i had the ablity to change the fure i dont knwo if i would. That is a hard quetion to answer. It is hard to say if you would change the future if i could. For example if you knew that 9-11 was going to happen would you have done what you could have in order to save all those people? I would have, i would have gone and done everything physically possible to make sure that those planes never left the airport, then we would not be in a war and we our nation would more soldiers alive today.

Jessica Benson Essay 4

My topic I believe is going to be racism/prejudice. My novel was 'The Green Mile'. I chose this topic because it is something that we still face in today's society. Prejudice is never a good thing. My stand on this topic is against. I believe people should not be quick to judge or make decisions based on color, gender, age, IQ or anything, but based on a person as a whole. Our government has the power to make laws that enforce being against being prejudice or a racist. I know in some places that it is illegal to discriminate, but do people honestly enforce it? We should make the laws more strict and make the consequences more fierce. Another thing I do not like, is when people get into an arguement and all of a sudden call the other person a racist because they are being called out. For example: A white male and a black male get into a heated discussion about how there is more poverty in this world and it is mainly minorities. After about 10 or 15 minutes the white male might say something personal, but not racial, to the balck male and he might get defensive and say "Oh, is it because I am black?" Now the white male is seen as a racist even though what he might have said wasn't racist at all. It is really hard sometimes to be put in situations where someone might think you are a racist or a sexist even when you are not. I wish the world could see its people as people and not by color, class, gender or orgin. It makes it really hard to be able to have the freedom of speech, but you have to watch everything you say and every move you make. My father was a veryu racist man and it always bothered me because a few of my friends were black and my best friend is vietnamese. He would always make excuses about how I couldn't go out with them because I had family things to do. It hurt me personally because I was just a kid who wanted to play with my friends. I never saw it as a black or white issue, ever. I believe in equal opprotunity and equal rights. People say it's an impossible goal to reach, but I beg to differ. In my mind it is one of the easiest goals in life to accomplish. Do not judge. It is a personal matter, but we are in a world that is surround by diversity and it should be seen as a beautiul thing. To learn about other cultures and how people live. There are so many idea's on this topic and I want to hear what you think! Thanks for listening to me ramble.. I hope it makes sense.

Similarities between our Society and Zombies

Society is very easy to compare to the vast changes that the citizens had to go through in Stephen King's Cell. The lack of a government structure, when the anarchy had spread, was what threw many people over the edge. Once there were no more laws to apply, the basic instinct to survive was brought out in man. In the book people killed each other over trying to find a place to live during the day, so they could then move around during the night. In Germany during WWII choas and panic was everywhere for the jews, they did everything to try and escape the nazi's, "the organized zombies". The propaganda of Hitler and the "Harved Zombie", is very similar. Hitler used propaganda posters to deture the jews, while the Harverd Zombie used mental telepathy to send threats and visions of death to the the normal people. During the book, the people learn that the only way they can get around is to move at night, since the zombies roam during the day. This is extremely similar to how the slaves would move up north during the night, since it was much easier to get caught during the day.
