Assignment:
Please compose a ten page essay on why death penalty is bad and the how death penalty affects the media. For instance, how the death penalty is glamorized through media portrayals. could also add Ted Bundy's story. There have been many articles written about him and documentaries about him. I think that adding Ted Bundy to the paper would be a great example to strengthen the paper. I think also mentioning the fact that people glamorized Ted Bundy's killings in the media would help meet the requirements of the paper. I think that adding Ted Bundy's story would help further argument because it questions society's morals.
You can argue that sentencing someone to the death penalty can be morally wrong because people can be rehabilitated and you can provide evidence for that. Another thing that the author could talk about is the financial greed of private prisons. Private prisons exist and they run for profit. Private prisons are corrupted and should not Exist. Here is an article that I found interesting:
Argument would be strengthened by incorporating specific case studies or examples of countries that have effectively abolished the death penalty, providing real-- world evidence to bolster its claims. These instances would lend empirical support to the paper's assertions and enhance its persuasive impact.
OR
The relatively old movie "Dead Man Walking" from 1995 is a good depiction of the harsh effects of existing on death row and could be useful to compliment the paper
The sources should be mentioned by name and there should be (author/ website names) at the end of the sentence and quotes around some lines from these sources. Even if paraphrase them, you should still have the source and page number in parentheses at the end of it. Having entirely paraphrased quotes makes the paper less credible. The introduction should also state the evidence that you will use to prove your point such as a list of each of your body paragraphs' main points summed-up in a few words. At least six sources should be used
Enhance the conclusion by offering a brief but comprehensive summary of the key points discussed in the paper would leave a lasting and impactful impression on the reader, reinforcing the significance of the argument.
