Deadline #11 HW #2
Deadline #11 HW #2 Introductions, and Conclusions
Introduction #1 Ask a Question
Should Americans question the methods of execution? Only you can truly answer this question. Some will agree and some will disagree with this question. However in order to answer this question, you need to know some facts about executions. Hopefully after reading this any question you may have had about executions in the United States, were answered.
Introduction #2 Tell a story
September 17, 2007, just when you thought its just another day, a 3 year old boy took his last breath. This little boy was human body bag for many people who came in and out of his life. Day in and day out for three years, this little boy was sexual, physical, and mentally abuse. On this particular day this little boys little body could not take it any more. His mother lover "Mercedes Howard a female" for some reason had always been jealous of him, and every chance she got she abused him mentally and physical. Even though both the mother and the "lover" Mercedes Howard were known meth users, still manage to keep custody of this little boy. During the early September morning this little boy was brought into the hospital only to be pronounced "DOA" dead on arrival. While the doctors and nurse were looking after the little boy they observed burns, fresh, and old bruise, and a stab wound in his stomach. During the questing of the boys mother and her lover the following story was given. Mercedes Howard was in a room with the little boy, hitting him. When the mother entered the room and shouted to the girl-friend "WHAT HAPPENED"? Mercedes replied "nothing" showing no emotions. When the Police department interviewed Mercedes Howard, with a blank face and showing no emotion she told the cops that she "threw the little boy across the room, twice". There are many horrible sad, but true story out in the world.
Conclusion #1 Link to your introduction (answer the question)
To help you answer this question (Should Americans question the methods of executions?) Let me remind you that the individuals who are on death row, are not innocent law abiding citizens, they are murderers, serial killers, and even child rapist. They did not stop, when there victims was crying/pleading for their life. These are individuals who have been found guilty by members of their own peers. How would you feel if these were the type of people as your neighbor?
Conclusion #2 Close with a story
In closing your decision "answer" to the question (Should Americans question the methods of executions?) effects the ending of this story. -If you think that ending schedule executions, because the prisoner last minute experience due to lethal injections. Than forget about the individuals/prisoners victims who died of pure tourcher and pain. Then yes, lets stop all lethal injection, until we as a whole"country" decide on what's better solution. If we put all lethal/ all executions on hold, than all the Mercedes Howard's will live 25 to life in prison with possible parole. Than our prison will become even more over crowded, more tax payers money wasted due to housing feeding etc. More Correction Officers and Law enforcement life on the line, due to assaults, escapes. -However if you feel that we should hold up to the court system and justice, than in the words of Mervin Polk " it's a hard thing to do, but by law, its are job". Than the Mercedes Howard will be brought to justices, and executed.

Deadline #11 HW #1
Deadline #11 HW #1 Reading Reflection
This week readings from The bedford Researcher was very insightful. When I first looked this weeks assignment I said wow 5 chapters. However after reading these chapter I was able to better understand how to write my paper. Chapter 12 was about drafting your paper. This chapter allowed me to see how and were to adjust my paper, so it flowed. I got great tips on how to start my introduction, which I was a little stumped. Chapter 13 Integrating Sources, talked about grammar, how to paraphrase, and summaries. A key point for me was how to properly edit images. An example: video, or video clips; which if you don't get the sources approvals you can make a link to your paper assuming your paper is on a computer. Chapter 14 Avoiding Plagiarism which according to this book most plagiarism is due to poor notes.(189) Number one tip I got from this book, was while you take notes attach the authors name by the entry. It also gave examples of phrases. Chapter 17 Understanding Documentation System, which breaks down the different types of styles of writing there are. In this class we were told to use MLA. MLA is mostly used for English class, among a few others. All in all these chapters were useful.

Deadline #10 HW #2 Annotated Bibliography
copyright c 2002-2007 by David Carson
This is a site for Texas Execution Information Center. I decided to use this site, because the State of Texas, Virginia, and Florida has conducted more executions than any other state in the U.S. What interest me the most about this site, is that they give backgrounds of the prisoner, and their last interviews and last words, or statement to the witness.
