Dear Charles,
I am very fascinated by the information you provided because I never knew how long the death penalty has been around. The death penalty is a very cruel act and I believe that the death penalty is a very disturbing thing.
One sentence you wrote that stood out to me was, “the earliest use of this practice took place about 1,500 years ago and were brutal forms of killing.” This stood out to me because its been around for a very long time and its crazy to think that people are still following this today
Thank you for writing!!

Dear Charles,

I am intrigued by your post “Early History of the Death Penalty” because of all the information you gave about the death penalty. Like how long it has been around for and how people were brutally killed.

One sentence you wrote that stood out for me is: ” As for the next ruler Henry VIII, he executed about 72,000 people for crimes of treason, marrying a Jew, and not confessing to a crime”. I think this is crazy because of the fact that if you were to marry a jew then you would’ve been killed/sentenced. Not only that but I found it crazy from the amount of people that he had killed.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because of how informative you are. What will bring me back to read your posts is for how you go into detail about your topics.

Dear Charles

I am impressed by your post, “Early History of the death penalty,” because it is impressive how they let them kill them in a brutal way for a punishment. I think it’s impressive how many people they have killed doing this.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “William the conqueror was a more sane ruler and only used this form of punishment in times of war.” I think this is crazy because they only used it in times of wars and still had a lot of deaths.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I like your all the facts you write about the death penalty. I would like you to continue talking about the death penalties. 

Dear Charles:

I am very impressed by your post, “Early History of the Death Penalty” because it crazy that for a punishment they would kill them. I find interesting all the ways they would kill them back then compared to now. It’s also fascinating how many people one ruler would kill.

One sentence you wrote that stood out to me is, “As for the next ruler Henry VIII, he executed about 72,000 people for crimes of treason, marrying a Jew, and not confessing to a crime.” I found this interesting because as of right now most of those so-called crimes won’t get you executed in the U.S. or any other place.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because you wrote about an interesting topic. From what you wrote it seems like you were invested in the topic.

Dear Charles,

I am intrigued by your article, “The Death Penalty is Appropriate,” because I believe that the death penalty should be in use. When criminals get locked up, they come out, and sooner or later, they do another crime. I do not think the death penalty should be used for every crime. However, I do believe it should be in use for every big crime such as rape.

One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is, “Still, if the system can be made right judiciously, then capital punishment could be appropriate at times.” I think this is an important quote because although you do not need the death penalty for all crimes, it can be used for heavier crimes.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to what you write next because you write about important things. Furthermore, you have an idea of why the death penalty is necessary in some cases.
