The death penalty has raised a major question, abolish or keep condemning? The death penalty in America has been around since 1608, when Captain George Kendall was executed in Jamestown. He was executed since he was actually a spy for Spain. Since then states have gone back and forth between having it legal and abolishing it.

The poverty level may not have been high, but the crime rate in Iztalapa rises with every passing day; kidnapping, murder, and rapes threatened the men and women of the town. The decision to move was first brought to the table when my mother…

Even though these ideals are present, they are not as evident in the hero Harry Potter from J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter series written in the 21st century. However, in almost every book, no matter what the culture or time period are, the same basic themes of character traits, power and death recur. Even…

Marrying a man on Mango Street feeds the oppression carried out on the women of Mango Street. (Hartley-Kroeger 284).
