Words: 439 - Pages: 2.... place.
In a society of freedom, our freedoms should not be taken advantage of and misused. Each individual living creature is created by a higher power.

The right to kill those who kill is not granted to any individual, therefore, the death penalty is not a right any person can take advantage of and use as punishment.
Punishment for wrongdoing is acceptable, but .....

Real communities are based upon interest as well, but unlike virtual communities, real communities can be assembled upon things other than interest. Rarely do you see a virtual community constructed on something other than interest. Real communities can be created upon shared experiences, common friends and family, and activities that are not possible to occur over the internet.

poem, Gray does not compare and contrast. He talks about death up front. He says
that “The shrieks of death, thro’ Berkley’s roof that ring.”(Gray. 821) Gray has a way of
