INTRODUCTION
Overview
I am doing my research project on capital punishment, also called the death penalty. I am going to give you my opinion about it and why I feel that way. I hope that after doing all of my research, I will have you, as the reader, interested in my project and wanting to read more.
History
Capital punishment has been around for a long time, since the eighteenth century. It was not kept on record, however, until about the early 1900's. Thirty-four of the 38 states that have the death penalty use the newest form of execution, the lethal injection.
Background
I have background for this project from when we discussed capital punishment in my English 101 class first semester. I also know some about this topic from what I have heard and seen on television the past few years. I thought it was an interesting topic so I chose it to clear some things up about it, and maybe I can even change someone's opinion about the subject.
