Punishable By Death Age Of 18
2,379 words
Many people support the death penalty, and a lot
of them use the defense that comes from the Bible:
an eye for eye, and a limb for a limb. I on the
other hand believe otherwise. Punishment by death,
in my opinion, is a very barbaric way of
penalization. In the world, it is known that at
least 2500 prisoners are executed in at least 37
different countries, on an annual basis. There
will be various statistics, opinions, history, and
background information discussed through out the

youth is abused by a mother, father, or abusive
relative. The figures themselves are startling and
can in no way be compromised with any reasoning
for them. It seems that Americas parents are

than anyone else in the entire world. For instance
a case in Denver CO, a mother killed her son
saying I didnt want to hurt him, but I didnt want
him to hurt me... The Boy was two years old and he

Cystic Fibrosis Identical Twins

Cloning can be a very sensitive subject. It seems
that it? s a battle between science and ethics.
Does the ladder outweigh the former or vice versa?
Maybe a few definitions will shed some light on
the subject. ? Cloning is to create a genetic
duplicate of an individual organism through
asexual reproduction, as by stimulating a single
cell? (Webster? s 211). ? Parthenogenesis is
reproduction of organisms without conjunction of
gametes of opposite sexes. ? (Webster? s 800).

West Side Story Romeo And Juliet
1,482 words
The play West Side Story, by Arthur Laurent's, is
based upon the play Romeo and Juliet, by William
Shakespeare. Despite a few differences, both
works, in essence, have the same plot. The source
of violence in Romeo and Juliet and West Side
Story is the ever-present hatred between families
and between gangs, although, because of the "
star-cross? d lovers" motif in Romeo and
Juliet, the hatred plays a larger role in
producing the ending of West Side Story than it
does the ending of Rome...

insults and physical abuse are almost normal
growing up, no matter what your sex or economic

either Huck himself, or Jim, the black slave. They

give to the story an alternate perspective. Huck

only on the grounds of the color of his skin. Jim
