A for and against essay: Death penalty

Nowadays, in many countries as the USA or Japan it is executed a penalty called Death punishment or Death penalty. It is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. However, it is a very delicate and criticized topic by people. There are many disadvantages and some advantages to this penalty.

On the one hand, it is clear that there are strong arguments against this idea. Prisons have plenty of innocent people, one effect of this is that there are many people in prison who have been judged unfairly every year, without a hard evidence or false evidences, there are many kinds of cases. As a result of this, there are innocent people who have suffered the death penalty. Another argument against is that innocent people are sentenced to death with materially greater frequency than was previously supposed and that convincing proof of their innocence often does not emerge until long after their convictions.

On the other hand, the relatives of the victim feel that the murderer (or not) deserves to die, and suffer the penalty which painfully the victim suffered before. This means that the remuneration of the crime is the just punishment for the evil that has caused and is therefore proportional to the crime.             As consequently, people will live quieter without another criminal. In spite of this, would Penal servitude for life be a better alternative than the Death penalty for criminals?.

Personally, I believe that no one can kill another person, no matter what he or she did.  Because I think that if I kill a criminal I would become another criminal, and down to their level. In addition, executing the Death penalty kills also innocents that could have proved their innocence during their stay in prison without dying. But even if that person is guilty, death will not be the solution, while he is alive he will receive his punishment which could be life imprisonment as an alternative. I strongly believe that the lack of freedom is the only fair punishment for a guilty.  From my point of view, death penalty is murder by the government it violates the right to life. We ask justice for a murdered person killing another. It is utterly contradictory. To sump up, Capital punishment contradicts our moral beliefs and claims of a fair and just government.

A description

I admire people for what they do, and the works and actions that Angelina Jolie has done during her life, have led me to admire her. Angelina Jolie is an American actress, director, writer, producer, humanitarian and philanthropist.

Angelina started her career as a model since age 16. But then, after her studies at Academy of Acting she appeared in several films as The Bone Collector, 60 Seconds, The Exchange. Although she rose to fame in her debut as protagonist in Lara Croft (Tom Rider), and Mr. and Mrs. Smith where also met her current husband Brad Pitt. She has a great ability as an actress, and her beauty that distinge her of all others.
But her best striking feature is that she has spent all her life, and even still devoted to humanitarian work. That not only makes her special, but unique. I think she succeds at this brilliantly.

Angie is taller and slimmer than me, she looks quite exotic. She gorgeous, her hands are long and elegant. Her nose is short and her lips are thick. She has got thin and black hair. However, her natural hair is blonde, but since she was young she dyed her blond hair to black, and in my opinion I think that it looks more beautiful in her because it highlights her amazing and cheerful big blue eyes. She is an intelligent and strong woman. Angie is also a very patient, understanding sort of person, which makes her a good listener of people with needs. She lives her life without prejudice and without thinking others will say.

In the 1990s, Angelina Jolie became a popular actress. She gave a star-making performance in the 1998 television film Gia based on the short, tragic life of model Gia Marie Carangi, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
Another great dramatic role in Girl, Interrupted brought Angie her first Academy Award for best supporting actress. She has continued to take on a variety of interesting roles, such as an adventurer in the Lara Croft films.

At first, she appears to be like any other actress, but are her actions that differentiate her from the others. She is an example of the ugly duckling can become a swan. What I admire most in her is that when she was young she fell into drugs but devoted all her time to people in need and due to that she could be recovered. She adopted two orphaned babies, one Vietnamese and other African girl. She was a single mother for a long time, until she met Brad Pitt and had several children. Now they have 6 beautiful children. She is a very special person to me, I think she is a role model. I also in the future will continue these steps. She as human made mistakes, she is not perfect but she is not her mistakes.

Subject: Catalan food!

Hi Alice, Thanks for your email. Sorry I didn't write straight back, I was busy preparing your welcome at our school. We're pretty excited about your arrival. Have you finished your research? I'm writting to tell you abour our typical meals in Catalonia and our meal time. We have 3 meals a day, and we start the day at 7 am. Usually, we take cereals for breakfast with a glass of juice or chocolate milk and a slice of bread with ''Mel i Mato'', a soft, unsalted goat chese served with honey and sometimes walnuts. It's typical in Catalonia, and I prefer the last dish. ;) Time for a break! We eat breakfast at school at 11, we bring to us a homemade sandwich, or buy it at school. At 3 o'clock noon, it's time to eat at home, there are many Catalan dishes that I'm sure they will make you crazy!. Very healthy and mediterranean dishes, as ''Fideua'' that's like seafood paella, but served with shortnoodles, rather than rice. I'm imagining you lust to savour all these delicious dishes right now!.  At 5 o'clock we take a snack, we don't take the famous ''Tea time'' as in London – One day I will take it – We often cook Panallets. Small rounds, sweet and made with almonds. Or Catalan cream. I'm learning to cook Panallets, because I love them. Catalans, we rarely have ready-cooked food for dinner. We always eat a light dinner, as ''Pa amb tomàquet''. I think it's our national food (aside from ''Calçots''), it's too easy to do. Guess what! Even my relatives in Morocco do it too. 10pm, what better time for DINNER! I I'm just kidding of course. 10pm is a ridiculous time to eat. Probably you're suprised because it's so late. I'ts a bit hectic here. Our diet is really famous all over the world, and you will have the opportunity to try many delicious dishes. And you will meet many handsome Catalans. ;)    Well that’s all for now, take care of your little sister, hope she feels better soon. And good luck with your exams. We're waiting for you in Barcelona. See you soon, Yusra xxxxx
