Class 12

In Class 12, we had an hourly. Then we studied "How to Write a Thesis Statement". We also discussed George Orwell's "A Hanging". Finally, we talked about the essay topic for Essay number three.

Discuss the following statement in a persuasive essay: "It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one." Are you in agreement or disagreement with Voltaire?

Remember that if you AGREE with this quote, it means you are AGAINST the death penalty or capital punishment. If you DISAGREE with this quote, you are FOR the death penalty or capital punishment.
