Book Of Job Lay Dying
1,386 wordsSince its original publication in 1930, the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner has drawn much exploration and critique.

Death Row Inmates Inmates On Death Row
932 wordsDeath by execution has existed as a punishment since the dawn of time. Yet although this has existed seemingly forever, the question of its morality has also existed for that same amount of time.

Yet in a justice system that preaches equality, it too is led by racism. There is "a pattern of evidence indicating rac...
