The Effect of Setting

            "As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea. The red of the grass made all the great prairie the colour of wine-stains, or of certain seaweeds when they are first washed up. And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running."  This is Carthers way of telling the setting in My Antoina. I like the way that Cather descibes the setting of the novel, but I believe that she is trying to make it sound more prettier than what it really is.  if i were to try and tell the reader of this blog what i think the setting is it would go like this.  As i looked into the country side the grass looked like and infinite sea of red, as if the grass was the red sea when god turned the river into blood.

my antonia

            Willa Cather in her novel My Antonia offers her view of life during the pioneer time by telling the story of Jim Burton and his experiences with Antonia and his life.  If "My Antonia" was told from Antonia's point of view the story would be very different.  Antonia would have told her opinion a lot more and the reader would have been told what all had happened to her a lot faster than the way it is already written from Jim's point of view.  When i read the book "My Antonia" there are some parts in the novel that I can tell that Cather was using a little more woman style of thinking.  Jim was a little bit more emotional than what a regular man would be back in the time depicted.  I think the reason why Jim made the name of the book My Antonia and not just Antonia is because of the simple fact that he was so close to Antonia that he wanted to make is known to the reader before they even opened the book. These are some ideas I wanted to say about the novel "My Antonia".

The Death Penelty Should be Used

claim:I am a strong believer in the death penalty, when i was told to do this essay i felt like a had a opportunity to finally express my feeling about this topic.

Reason 1

• It is the law that you can use the death penalty.
• Commentary 1:Some states believe that the death penalty is unconstitutional according to the 8th amendment.  but it clearly states in the amendment that it only covers cruel punishments.
• Commentary 2:The methods used today in the proceedings for the death penalty are the most humane in history. If there is a method found that is anymore humane then it will be the main execution.

Reason 2

• The cost factor when u think of using the death penalty and keeping a prisoner for life are tremendous.
• Commentary 1: One of the big problems in the county today is prison overpopulation. The prisons in America today are becoming very over populated. The cost is more than this county can bear.
• Commentary 2: What i think this county should do is for all the prisoners that have committed such a hannis crime that they could get the death penalty, they should. This decision could be the difference on wear this country is going. It would save this county so much tax dollars. And have less Prison overpopulation.

Opposing claim

• People against the death penalty such as Bryan Stevenson say that the penalty is very immoral.

My Rebuttal

• I say that it is a very understandable procedure for people that have committed murder, rape ext..  The procedure for the excitation is very humane, the most humane in the history in the world.

      My Paragraph

•  I am a strong believer in the death penalty, when i was told to do this essay i felt like a had a opportunity to finally express my feeling about this topic.   It is the law that you can use the death penalty.  Some states believe that the death penalty is unconstitutional according to the 8th amendment.  But the constitution clearly states in the amendment that the law only covers cruel punishments.  The methods used today in the proceedings for the death penalty are the most humane in history. If there is a method found that is anymore humane then it will be the main execution.  The cost factor when the public thinks of using the death penalty and keeping a prisoner for life are tremendous.  One of the big problems in this countary today is prison overpopulation. The prisons in America today are becoming very over populated. The cost is more than this county can bear.  What I think this counsrty should do is for all the prisoners that have committed such a hannis crime that they could get the death penalty, they should. This decision could be the difference on wear this country is going. It would save this county so much tax dollars. And have less Prison overpopulation.  America needs to assess the prison overpopulation problem.

My Type of Thinking

• I believe my type of thinking is inductive. The Reason why I think I am an inductive thinker in this paragraph is because i could have many conclusions.
