1. He used the technique of illustrations and examples. 'Saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide' suggests that the author condemned capital punishments and viewed it as a form of cruelty. By pointing out that convicts are no different from any other normal human beings, the author tried to persuade us into believing that capital punishment is indeed uncalled for and cruel.
2. Arguments for capital punishment are that people who committed crimes ought to be dealt with severely by the law. Everyone has to be responsible for his or her own actions. Since they have committed crimes, they have to responsible for it and this hence justifies the existence of capital punishment.
On the other hand, people who are against capital punishment feel that it is cruel. They probably feel that no one has the right to take away another person's life. Although they have committed crimes, it does not mean that they have to pay for what they have done by ending their own lives. It is certainly uncalled for.
3. I strongly believe that capital punishment has to exist. Imagine a scenario when capital punishment does not exist. People would be opening fire on the streets, killing one another anytime they like and only be jailed for a few years. What would the bereaved families think?
Moreover, prisons in many countries are in a much better condition than they were in the past. With response to that, people would not be that afraid of staying in a prison. If being jailed does not deter people from committing serious crimes, what would?
Capital punishment serve as a deterrance to deter people from committing such crimes.
In my opinion, death penalty can only justified if a person ends another person's life on purpose.
