Tinkering with the Machinery of the Death Penalty 5-7 page paper due 2/19 in class
This essay will be comprised of roughly equal components of rhetoric and research. You will need to cite at least four separate sources in your Works Cited page, two of which would be library database sources – please connote which sources are library database sources by placing a check in pen, circling them or changing the color font. You must utilize Chicago citation style, and use it accurately. You should have your Handbook open as you check your citation style. Be conscientious regarding unintentionally appropriating the rhetoric of your sources. You do not want to be forced to utilize your considerable rhetoric skill to defend your own plagiarism case as well as your death row inmates’ for this assignment. As always, employ the Toulmin model of argument that ask you to provide evidence to support your claims, and then, provide explications for your evidence. Establish ethos by providing background information to establish yourself as an expert. Employ both logos and pathos in your argument. As always, I will be evaluating you on your rhetoric, organization, research, originality, profundity, style and fluidity. I will lower the grade for any missing citation. Choose one option. Include a title page and bibliography page and number and staple your pages
2. Develop a rebuttal of the major arguments against the death penalty. Tackle five or six of the primary arguments that are leveled against the death penalty and refute them as you argue for the sanctity of the death penalty as the ultimate punishment. We have read a lot of eloquent rhetoric from Justice Blackmun and Sister Helen, but do the facts support their claims? Is the death penalty really as racist and classist as critics claim? Does it really cost more to sentence a man to death than to support him in prison? Is lethal injection that cruel and unusual? The formula for this paper is easy to organize. Go to an anti-death penalty website and find an incendiary quote (or quote from our readings) and then, find evidence to refute the claim to show why abolitionists are twisting the facts, as you support the death penalty as necessary and just. After you logically refute the David Gales/Brucks, feel free to engage in pathos towards the end of your essay, as Justice Scalia does, to show your reader why we need the death penalty.
