Can somebody help me write a speech about why we shouldn't have the death penalty anymore. You don't have to write it for me!

Answer:Ok i will help you here are some reasons why

Explanation:The death penalty is irreversible. Absolute judgments may lead to people paying for crimes they did not commit. Texas man Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in Texas in 2004 for allegedly setting a fire that killed his three daughters. Following his execution, further evidence revealed that Willingham did not set the fire that caused their deaths. But it came too late.There is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than a prison term. In fact, evidence reveals the opposite.

Since abolishing the death penalty in 1976, Canada’s murder rate has steadily declined and as of 2016 was at its lowest since 1966.The 2006 execution of Angel Nieves Diaz, by a so-called ‘humane’ lethal injection, took 34 minutes and required two doses. Doctors have said that it is likely Diaz’ death was painful.

Other brutal methods of execution used around the world include hanging, shooting and beheading. The nature of these deaths only continues to perpetuate the cycle of violence and may not alleviate the pain already suffered by the victims’ family.Executions are often undertaken in an extremely public manner, with public hangings in Iran or live broadcasts of lethal injections in the US. According to UN human rights experts, executions in public serve no legitimate purpose and only increase the cruel, inhuman and degrading nature of this punishment.

“All executions violate the right to life. Those carried out publicly are a gross affront to human dignity which cannot be tolerated,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.In 2017 two countries – Guinea and Mongolia – abolished the death penalty for all crimes.

Today, 106 countries (the majority of the world’s states) have turned their backs on the death penalty for good.Those that continue to execute are a tiny minority standing against a wave of opposition.

There are countless arguments for and against the death penalty. In an imperfect world where we can never be sure we have ever got the “worst of the worst” is it ever justified to take a life?

Answer:

The death sentence should not be canceled because some people do extremely bad things like kill another person so it's only right

ESSAY: WRITING A SHORT STORY
Instructions:
Construct a plot outline. Place the presentation of actions to accommodate temporal, special, and dramatic mood changes. Locate scenes and incidents in specific places. Include a sequence of events and communicate their significance to the audience. You may use a storyboard illustration to depict the events or scenes of your story. Storyboards may be used to plan a video or map out the events in a story. The boxes in a storyboard contain drawings as well as text. Your text may appear outside or under the box. Be sure that your plot has a dilemma, at least one complication, a climax, and a resolution.
Example of a story board:

Write a short story using the plot outline and character sketches you have prepared. Use dialogue, narration, and description in developing the four short story elements. Briefly state the theme of your story. Make effective use of descriptions of appearances, images, shifting perspectives and sensory details. Describe scenes with concrete sensory details (sights, sounds, smells). Include specific actions, movements, gestures and feelings by using interior monologues. Your story should be at least 500 words long.
When a story has been completed, it should be reread carefully. Mechanical errors should be corrected and any inconsistencies or shortcomings noted. If you find that the plot does not flow smoothly, recheck your plot outline. Make sure that no steps were left out and that your story has no loose ends. Be sure that the style of your story suits the subject matter. Tone should not clash with atmosphere. Check your characters' diction as carefully as you check your own to be sure that the dialogue is realistic, appropriate to the character, and easy to follow.
Revise your story. Make any needed corrections on your rough draft. When you are certain that it meets all stylistic and technical requirements, copy it and turn it in.

Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.

Fourteen years ago a city of 400,000 people on this side of the river heard of a projected suspension bridge with incredulity. The span was so long, the height so great, and the enterprise likely to be so costly, that few thought of it as something begun in earnest. The irresistible demands of commerce enforced these hard conditions. But Science said, "It is possible," and Courage said, "It shall be!" To-day a city of 600,000 people welcomes with enthusiasm the wonderful creation of genius. Graceful, and yet majestic, it clings to the land like a thing that has taken root. Beautiful as a vision of fairyland it salutes our sight. The impression it makes upon the visitor is one of astonishment, an astonishment that grows with every visit. No one who has been upon it can ever forget it. This great structure cannot be confined to the limits of local pride. The glory of it belongs to the race. Not one shall see it and not feel prouder to be a man.

What is the central idea of this excerpt?

A. This magnificent bridge was built despite the many doubts of the people of New York.
B. The Brooklyn Bridge is an example of the kind of glory the human race should strive for.
C. Everyone who sees or walks across this bridge will feel proud and remember its glory.
D. The Brooklyn Bridge will attract many more visitors and business partners to New York.

Sibling Love

a breathing doll.
She rests on the crib—

She runs on love,
Her batteries are kisses,
She is rechargeable,
like a toy,
on midnight milk.
She doesn't do any tricks,
except she knows just how
to make Mother give her
attention.
Her magic spells
are whiny cries.
She tries,
with her watery eyes,
to win my heart.
Till my mother kisses
me too,
I am not falling
for her baby art.

Read the excerpt from White Fang.

The man who had spoken came over to her. He put his hand upon her head, and she only crouched closer. She did not snap, nor threaten to snap. The other men came up, and surrounded her, and felt her, and pawed her, which actions she made no attempt to resent. They were greatly excited, and made many noises with their mouths. These noises were not indications of danger, the cub decided, as he crouched near his mother, still bristling from time to time but doing his best to submit.

How does the narrator’s point of view help the reader understand the event in the excerpt?

The first-person point of view helps the reader understand the feelings of the man who speaks to White Fang’s mother.

PLS HELPP

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.

Review the following line from the text:

The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke.

Timid Terry

There was something unusual about Terry. Although quiet and timid, she often made people around her feel uneasy. The seventh graders in Caustic Middle School steered clear of Terry. She had established her position at school as a bona fide loner. Finally, one day, one girl showed a genuine interest in her.
Soumya, the brightest student in class, wanted to be Terry's friend. Soumya's warm greetings each morning at the bus stop cheered up Terry. To Terry's lonely ears, Soumya's words sounded like someone playing flutes. Soumya did not care at all if Terry walked and talked slowly or dressed awkwardly. She invited Terry to her house and even wanted to be study partners.
One day, however, on their way to school, Soumya was quiet. The silence was heavy. Terry did not say a word, as usual, and waited for the bus to stop so that she could get away from the uncomfortable situation. Soumya searched for the right words to say and finally asked Terry a difficult question. "Do you not want to be my friend?"
Terry was prepared for this question and uttered her well-rehearsed speech. "I try to save myself from misery. I expect you to run off and leave me alone as the others always do!" Terry responded. "I guess I have been through this situation many times. I have learned not to be hurt." She hugged her backpack tightly and got up from the seat.
"Oh Terry! Don't make me sound like your nemesis! I don't have secret plans to ruin your life! True friends do exist, but you have to do your part, too!" Soumya replied, with equal melodrama.
Soumya stared at Terry, demanding attention. After what felt like hours, she saw Terry's downcast eyes slowly turn toward her. There was a hint of a smile on Terry's face. Terry's glistening eyes finally told Soumya everything Terry could not say.


Based on the passage, what can the reader tell about the point of view?

A.
The reader can tell that the narrator is speaking directly to Terry and Soumya.
B.
The narrator knows only how the character of Soumya thinks.
C.
The reader knows only how the character of Terry thinks.
D.
The reader can tell that the narrator knows how both Terry and Soumya feel.

THIS IS FOR MY FRIEND Yes, there are indeed benefits for children involved in advertisements on television and social media. Companies and some parents easily make money as some people may find the kids cute and the products more comprehensible to buy. ... Leading to bigger acting roles in television or movies.Advertising to children is the act of advertising products or services to children as defined by national legislation and advertising standards. It is often the subject of debate, relating to the alleged influence on little children's consumption. Laws concerning such advertisements have largely evolved in recent years such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States. In most countries, advertising to small children is framed by a mix of legislation and advertising self-regulation.In the 19th century, the compulsory education of children was established which consequently made them target audiences of many publications.Also around this period, Comic books publishers realized the importance of marketing comic books to young people in raising their potential sales, which resulted in the rise of comic book promotion to the youth market in the 19th century. In this era, broadcast media (radio and television) grew in popularity. For advertisers, these mediums expanded their ability to communicate with consumers effectively. It was also during this era that spot advertising (a form of advertising where advertisements appear between programs) came to be known as a prodigious way of advertising.
As the popularity of sponsorship arrangements grew,American advertisers sponsored Since the 1970s, there has been a large amount of concern as to whether or not children are able to comprehend advertisements and the extent to which they do so. A study conducted by Goldberg, M. E., & Gorn, G. J. in 1983 looked at the acquisition of children's cognitive defences and found that, until the age of 8 most children are unable to understand the selling intent of televised advertisements. Between the ages of 8 and 11 children only have a partial understanding of selling intent, and it is not until at least the age of 11 that a child is able to fully understand the selling intent of televised advertisements. The study concludes that there is a large difference in basic understanding of the purpose of advertising between children of a younger age and of an older age, and as a result different age groups have different reactions to television-based advertisements.There are positive and negative implications to TV advertising on little children, for both marketers and the children who view the advertisements. Many advertising aimed at children is criticized for enforcing gender stereotypes. Some countries have broadcast codes that suggest that TV advertisements should not contain exaggerated claims that will mislead or deceive children, abuse their trust or lack the understanding of persuasive intent in an advertisement.Many parents report being pestered by their children for the product they have seen on TV. This phenomenon is dubbed "pester power", which means that little children pester their parents to buy things for them that they desire. A study showed that mothers are more likely to purchase a product for their children due to the emotional appeal of their children's response to an advertisement.Critics have likewise communicated concern with respect to the predominance of promoting of brutal media, for example, films and computer games, focusing on children. Three reports by the Federal Trade Commission discovered significant help for such charges, and keeping in mind that reviews have not legitimately surveyed the effect of such publicizing, almost certainly, such advertisements do influence kids' media inclinations.
