Quotes and other Stuff I'm going to use

Okay.... so as a preamble to this thing, I just want to say that I'm not a big fan of all this prewriting stuff. It really doesn't make a difference to me if I prewrite or not. My usual plan is just to have the ideas swim around in my head until I actually write it down. However, in the event of getting quotes it is usually better to pick them out beforehand, even though I despise the prewriting process.

My first article does not have any great quotes, but it does, in fact have some useful information about different methods of the death penalty, especially those used in the United States.

My next article Should the death penalty be banned as a form of punishment? has a basic list of arguments on both sides of the spectrum, a very useful source but not quotable.

Third article For the Death Penalty Yet Pro-life Really? has this quote "Of 50 European countries, only Belarus, notorious for its lack of respect for basic human rights, still executes criminals in peacetime." Its a good quote. This article also has specific death penalty cases as references - which will be useful.

Next article Does Death Penalty Save Lives? A New Debate. Pretty much demonstrates the uselessness of studying the effectiveness of the death penalty as a deterrent. It also questions keeping a halfhearted execution system that produces little results.

Last article Murder Victims' Family Members. Has a great quote “To be meaningful, justice should be swift and sure. The death penalty is neither.” It also has a little personal story about family of the victims of a murder that may or may not make it in my paper, but I definitely will use that quote. Because it is awesome.

Research Paper Thesis

       The death penalty is still carried in the United States today, but not without contraversy, with well thought out arguments on both sides.
