SAY NO TO DEATH PENALTY

The death penalty has been proposed to the court because they saw that many
people are committing crimes like murder, sexual harassment, rape, and ect. involving
killing but that is not a reasonable excuse to pursue death penalty because in the view
of our God all sins are fair it’s up to us if we can forgive those people. We are free to
choose in what is right.

Police and other high officials don’t have the right to kill for the justice they want. No
human will decide to kill another human, we should forgive them as the Lord forgive us
and don’t treat them bad even if they did wrong things. They’re still human that commit
mistakes and unguided so we should at least understand them.

Committing a crime is inevitable, the police can put them into jail and sentenced a
life time imprisonment. Being sentenced by death penalty was not a good idea at all
because every person has a right to live and be forgiven.

There was always a punishment in committing a crime. Punishment of being

imprisoned and more worst death penalty. I highly disagree in death penalty because
every person deserves a second chance to change his/her life to be better and
improved.

THE STORY
Theme: A memory that is keeping on revisiting her past she has been
hiding for the last twenty-eight years…....

believed she had banished to the past. As a young child, Lydia and her
sister were sent to live with grandparents they'd never even met before. It
was a cruel and loveless new world for them and it forced Lydia to grow up
fast. She learned to keep secrets and to trust sparingly, and through it all
she was shadowed by grief and guilt. Now, 28 years later, Lydia is
persuaded to leave behind the safe new life she has created for herself and
return to England to face the past—and maybe her future.
