Prop 34

Proposition 34 talks about the death penalty and why it should be repelled. If the death penalty was legal and enforced in every state, it would lower the crime rate. People should be put in death row if they’ve committed murder, or if they’ve done other worse crimes many times. If they have committed rape or kidnapping many times, they would be put on death row.

If this proposition was passed, it would benefit us but also make things worse. If the death penalty was legal, there would be less crime and criminals would be more afraid of committing certain crimes. If it was illegal, the criminals that get sent to jail would have to sit in jail and think of what they’ve done. But if it was passed, prisons would become full and they’d have to make more prisons.

In my opinion, I believe that this law should not be passed because there are some criminals that just have no remorse for their crimes and deserve to die. It would help lower crime and possibly create better communities since criminals would not want to risk death by the electric chair or lethal injection. It might be better if the death penalty is still enforced.

Middle Ages

If I lived in the middle ages like in The Canterbury Tales, my occupation would be a merchant. I believe I would be a merchant because I’d like to sell things to make money. I would live in a city like Paris where many people live. I would live in a building that’s on a street where many people walk so I can try to sell them my merchandise. I would have a stand where I sell many things like clothes, jewelry, and even food. I’ll sell any items I want just so I can make good money. Although I make money, it’s not a substantial amount to provide my wife and two kids. Being a low-class merchant isn’t exactly a nice, easy life. I have to struggle to keep my family well and out of poverty. But, there are others like me, some make more money than I do and others make less than me. I’m glad to not be at the lowest class of being a merchant. I don’t have military training but I do know how to punch someone in the face and knock them out if they try to steal my merchandise. My values in life are to live the best life I can with my family and enjoy the little things. I don’t want to wake up every morning knowing that I have to sell things the whole day and not get a lot of money. I always look at the upside in situations and enjoy what I can. I hope my children will take over my business when I die and be better merchants than I am so they will make the most money out of all the merchants in the world.
