Capital Punishment

When a crime is commited there are many ways of making the criminal understand that what they did was wrong. In this essay im going to explain why capital punishment is probably the best way to take criminals out of the streets and let people live in peace. Even taking into account that justice many times get wrongful convictions.

Capital punishment is the best way to take criminals out of the streets, because the person that raped or killed (concerning murder self def'ence should be excluded) will never be a civilised person again, is just a one way road. Why so harsh? Every day many people is killed for stupid reasons or eventhought without one, and the murder who took away that life is the worst part of society and this kind of people are going to take our cities, our world to crazyness. This situation is shown in the movie "Dead man walking" where two girls where murdered and the family want the justice to kill him because they think it was just the correct judgement.

The justice system many times make mistakes and eventhought they do not have enough proofs against one person this one is sentenced and this is the only reason that capital punishment shouldn't be approved. This problem would be solved by passing through many stages before sentencing a person to death.

As a conclusion we can see that maybe we are going to approve capital punishment when we take it personally. At least in Argentina the justice system fails everyday and convicted people murder or rape again. This seems to be the only way out of this pandemic problem.

 A Frightening Experience

Last night, at 3:20 am,while I was alone in my house, something weird was happening upstairs. I heard noises coming from there, They weren't common noises, they were mysterious and terrible. I felt paranoid, as if someone wanted to hurt me. My bedroom was on the second floor, and I was frightened of going up. Later, at 4 am I was sleepy and I decided to go up and asked my self "what is going to happen? What can those strange noises be?" I took courage, got a knife and went upstairs. While i was going up, the noise came louder . I was walking fearless. However,  in the inside I was dying of fear.
 Now, I was on the second floor and I realised that something was moving in my room, it was a shadow behind the door. I felt insecure of getting inside my room as I didn't know what was going to happen. The door opened inmediately alone. I took a deep breath and went in. The door closed behind me. There wasn't anyone I could see. I raised my head and saw a malicious and scuffy creature, he went down and stood up in front of me. I was terrified, I was like a rock, I couldn't move until he said
"Let the game begin"
Who who are you?- I said stammeringly.
-It's better for you to start running- said with an arrogant voice. Without doubting it I rushed away searching for something that would save me. Fortunately his hands couldn't move faster even than a turtle. When I got to know where I was, I was already looking at the floor and I felt something grabbing my leg while saying:
"No choice, we will play" and then I realised I had no way out.
