[writing assignment] | Unit 2, writing assignment. Writing paragraphs. I have chosen definition, argumentative and cause and effect. |

Definition Paragraph:

The Definition of Marriage
The definition of a legal marriage is a legal binding between two people, called spouses, which choose to live as husband and wife. Nowadays, depending on where in the world you are, it is also legally recognized for same sex marriage. Couples get married to move in together, have sexual relations, and to create a family. Some people get married purely for social status too. My personal definition of marriage is when two people, who love each other, decide to spend the rest of their lives together.

Argumentative Paragraph:

The death penalty in Canada
Today in Canada there is no such thing as the death penalty. The worst punishment you can receive in Canada is life without parole. In my opinion though, the death penalty is extremely effective. I don’t believe in murder but I do believe in the execution of murderers. I don’t see why someone who commits murder or multiple murders should have the right to live! Why should taxpayers feed, house, and clothe people who have taken the life of someone else? I strongly believe that if a person maliciously takes some one’s life and right to live they should be punished in the exact same way! Maybe the thought of a criminal’s own life on the line will make them reconsider their actions against committing such violent crimes. I say capital punishment should be brought back to Canada.

Cause and Effect Paragraph:

Drought
One of the earth’s most devastating natural disasters is drought. This is caused when there is an abnormally long dry spell with no rain to provide water. This can be extremely devastating because life cannot function without water. A living organism needs water to survive. When places in the environment experience a drought many horrible things can happen. Drought can cause severe crop damage, shortages of

    Patricia Cornwell once said “First of all, it does not deter crime, the death penalty.” So why was it made in the first place? Well, many believe that with this system we can eliminate atrocious criminals such as Timothy McVeigh, a young man who bombed Oklahoma City taking the lives of 168 people, who was later executed. This definitely helps in removing that one criminal, but what about the other thousands? If the death penalty were enforced in Canada then it not only do so but also increase our taxes, put innocent lives at risk, and in all reality have no effect on murder rates. Why would you want to let such a problematic sentencing be legalized in such a fine country like ours.…

    In my opinion, I think capital punishment is immoral and Canada should not reinstate the death penalty. The death penalty is unethical and doesn’t speak for the morals Canadians hold so close to their hearts, and the decision to reinstate it would create a huge negative impact on foreign relations around the world. Canada is a strong advocate toward fighting injustice and for human rights, and if we decided to reinstate it, countries would highly condemn that decision and would leave Canada out of important discussions to create a more equal and just world. In addition, the death penalty costs governments around the world a massive amount of money. For example, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, taxpayers in the state of California paid over 4 billion dollars for the death penalty since it was reinstated in the state in 1978.…

    The death penalty is also commonly known as and referred to as capital punishment. There are different methods as to inflicting the death penalty they are hanging, decapitation, electrocution, gassing, shooting and lethal injections. These are the most commonly used methods. Capital punishment is the execution, by the state, of those found guilty of a crime as stated in the Canadian law. In Canada the penalty was restricted to a small number of very serious crimes, such as treason and murder. The method used was hanging from the year of 1867 and on. The last capital punishment hanging in Canada took place in 1962 (Bain). During the time period between 1867 and 1962, 710 people were executed in Canada (Canadian Encyclopedia). The reinstating of the death penalty at this time will not act as a deterrent of crime and is more an act of retribution. The reasons as to why it should not be restored are that executions are a form of retribution that defeats the purpose of the justice system, innocent people are sometimes executed under false accusations, and because it does not act as a deterrent to society and crime.…

    My writing assignment for my writing intensive is a Princess Project paper for my EDUC 121 class. After analyzing my writing assignment, there are key verbs in my assignment such as “select,” “build,” “produce,” “choose,” “justify,” “reinforce,” and “detail.” The possible structure of the essay would be a persuasive essay. This is because the writing prompt informs the writer to select six attributes from six different princesses.

The essay would be persuading the reader that the six attributes that are chosen are considered to be strong attributes of a princess.…

    Do you know how many people die in Canada every year . Over 500 people die from Murder every year. This is a very high rate since Canada's population is very small. The capital punishment of death penalty has a very clear connection with homicide rates. I think the death penalty should be legal in Canada. Since so many people are getting murdered and so many heinous criminals have the courage to kill someone they should get a taste of their own medicine and should be killed as brutally as they killed their victim. The death penalty should also be legal because it's cheaper than keeping people in prison for 25 years . It also gives fear to people who would want to commit heinous crimes because they will…

    Throughout high school, English was never my favorite subject. It seemed bland and dull to me and I thought that whatever career I chose would have more to do with mathematics and sciences. So when I enlisted into the U.S. Army and eventually achieved the rank of Sergeant, I discovered that writing was one of the most important factors of my everyday life. Now there are many different forms and memorandums that write on a weekly basis, but if I had to choose one that stands out above all others, it would be the DA Form 4856. It is otherwise known as the Developmental Counseling Form, which is without a doubt the most important writing assignment I complete every month.…

    Death Penalty In Canada

    Should Canada reinstate the death penalty for murder? Reinstituting the death penalty is not optional. If Canada wishes to prosper and flourish under God's blessing, we must reintroduce the death penalty. The foremost reason for the death penalty is God's mandate. Other reasons include the practical deterrent that the death penalty constitutes and, as a comparatively minor reason, the economic sensibility. I would also argue that the death penalty still applies to crimes other than murder and that our current penitentiary system is unnecessary and unbiblical.…
