Content Grammar Resources /15 /2.5 /2.5 Attached is my outline for which you can get an idea of what the essay should be about Topic: Death Penalty. Against it Thesis: Though the death penalty was created in order to create an extreme punishment of the judiciary system, it has done the opposite by increasing the amount of costs affiliated, unfulfilling its promises of deterring murder, and has shown how barbaric of a punishment it is in this civilized society. Intro Paragraph: – Discuss general idea of the death penalty – How it came to be – The 5 W’s – Mention the initial pros and now its cons. 1st Body Paragraph: (Cost) – It is expensive – Takes way more time and effort – Extremely long process – Multiple judicial meetings (court) – Trial and execution costs as well – Can cost up to millions 2nd Body Paragraph: (It does not really deter murder) – Life imprisonment results in deterring murder as well. – It does not take account into a murderer’s actions o One murder could result in the death penalty or even 12 – There is no proper check on who the death penalty should apply towards 3rd Body Paragraph: (It is a barbaric punishment) – It is a barbaric punishment – Against all main human rights (essentially it takes them away) – Against civil principles. You cannot do exactly the same to a criminal as what crime he commits – The death penalty can be discriminatory and can target specific people such as people of race or mentally challenged individuals Conclusion: – Review all major facts and arguments from the body paragraphs. – Provide a proper rebuttal using information from the introduction – Use the thesis statement to emphasize the argument Minimum 5 references
