reflection

I handed this in late but i think i did pretty good on it. I worked on it everyday but when i logged in i felt like i couldn't do this. I also didn't couldn't make up my mind about which genres to use. I just picked the ones that where the easiest to do then when i picked the first easiest I asked Mrs. Sackstein for help. I think this project is harder then i had thought it was going to be. I handed it late because i always got stuck and i am thankful that Mrs. Sackstein helped me.

Poem

The death penalty
Sad
Killing people
Injection
Hanging
Firing squad
Hurting people
Needing to testify
Bail
In trail
Giving money
Only 24 hours
to live
Family visiting
witnesses
coming
People are crying
Guards are
Yelling
Getting tied to
A table
Knowing
That you
Are going to
Die
They pick the first
injection
They feel the
pain that runs through
Their body
when they stick the
needle into
Them
Soon they can't
speak
or
move
And they are
dead

Reflection- I felt that I should use what they do in the injection chamber and also how they use it. The information I used to do this poem is the information that i used for the other posts. This poem should help people know not to kill because if you do then you will go through this pain and it is not fun!

meaning of the 8th amendment

The meaning of the 8th amendment protects people. The 8th amendment states excessive bail or fines, as well as cruel and unusual punishment. The bail part is the money/property that the person needs to give to the judge that will promise that the accused will return for their trial and if the person doesn't go to their trail they lose their bail. The bail also helps the person to prepare for the trial but when the person prepare he/she prepare in jail. The no cruel and unusual punishments is in the 8th amendment because they use to get a horse to pull the person until they are in 4 pieces, strangled, burned, branded, disemboweled (their guts cut out), or had their hands cut off or sat in stocks so that others could make fun of them and throw things at them. In 1976 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was constitutional, and since 1976 there have been 628 inmates executed.
