justice. Being brought to justice requires that
each person respect the life and liberty of
others. Respecting the life and liberty of others
means that we as United Sates citizens have
freedom of thought a...

Death Row Inmates Racially Biased

The Death Row Death Row The death penalty is
outmoded and should be eliminated from our justice
system. The death penalty is extremely racially
biased and is not assigned justly. While advocates

felon for life in prison, it is actually more
expensive to sentence a man to death. Opponents to
the death penalty say that death is actually
revenge rather than justice. The number of
prisoners on death row is increasing. The public
favoring the death pen...

third person omniscient point-of-view. He could
have used the first person point-of-view, but it
wouldnt have gotten his entire story across. He
could have used third person limited, but then he
wouldnt have been able to tell about everything
that was going on in Cannery Row. It is my opinion
that Mr. Steinbeck used the best point-of-view
possible for this book. Cannery Row is a book
