show that murder is wrong. In my research essay, I intend to explore the unethical ways of capital punishment in the United states and show how the death penalty fails to achieve its purpose of reducing heinous crimes, making incarceration a much better way of doing things, as we have in Canada.

HAVE MY DREAM FULFILLED........ My Lord, my days are numbered on earth, and I had not yet discovered who I am. I am yet to journey through my soul of self discovering and my time may be up. My Lord, I do not have long to live on this torrid earth.

For my first essay I will be writing about the Greek cookout I went to on Monday September 5th, 2016. It was a very hot day, with no clouds in the sky, so all you felt were the sun beams hitting your skin.
