In engaging in these twenty various pieces, I hope you have garnished some insight on the death penalty and possibly formulated an opinion on the matter. In the three main pages: Personal Stories, Original Pieces, and Multimedia Works specific matters were addressed and gave the viewer a wide knowledge on the subject.
In the Personal Stories section I truly open it up with the short description of the electric chair (Original Artifact #7), trying to show the decisiveness of the situation and compare it with the photo of chair. I also purposely put the short documentary (Found Artifact #10) and the letter to an inmate's’ family (Original Artifact #2) it is very likely that a letter similar to the one on this page could have been written by one of the men included in the fascinating video. The documentary, though broad, perfectly contradicts with the specificity of the letter addressed.
The Original Pieces page was packed with a wide range of artifacts, yet they still had similar points. In the middle of the page I included a trifecta of artifacts: movie clip (Found Artifact #3, an original poll (Original Artifact #3), and a quote from a well-known author (Found Artifact #5). Initially you are introduced to the electrocution of John Coffrey, in one of Tom Hanks most popular films and then contrasted by John Grisham’s quote saying, “For an innocent man, it's a life of mental torture that the human spirit is not equipped to survive.” This helps relate to the troubles of Coffrey in his death scene and his coping with presumed death throughout the whole film: “The Green Mile”. To round out the three a poll was included to see what teenagers thought was correct and what manner should capital punishment be executed.
My final main page - Multimedia Works section - was by far the most visually appealing. It was difficult accepting the visual aspect of this page, as I intended to make the entire website gloomy and focus all the reader’s attention on formulating an opinion through the pieces given and not added pictures or graphics. This page meant to display to the reader that the death penalty can be discussed in a variety of manners. From the simple cartoon (Original Artifact #8) depicting tensions in our nation to, my favorite, the collaboration of death row inmates with artists (Found Artifact #7) helping illustrate the need for these criminals to translate their feelings and give the public a better understanding of the situation
Finally, I’m going to leave you with my final original artifact (#10) outlining my beliefs on the death penalty and why I believe it should be utilized in the United States; “After considering both sides of the argument in many mediums from visuals to poems. I am among the 63% of Americans in favor of the death penalty. I agree with its use today in major crimes and after subsequent processes. The key to me is that the suspect must be such a nuisance to the nation, that even having them alive in jail for the rest of their miserable lives is still problematic. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a prime example of this; he has hurt thousands of people in Boston both physically and mentally. Seeing his actions in his jail cell, proves that he is unstable human being and no longer provides anything to anyone. Killing him also sends a message to other terrorists, that the U.S. will not grant any pity to anyone who attacks our nation. Of the forms of Capital Punishment I am in favor of lethal injection; it seems the most modern and lease traumatic. Compared to an electrocution, that may prove traumatic to those witnessing a injection quickly shuts down the system of a person..”
Thanks for viewing my website, I hope, at the least, you can exit with more knowledge on the death penalty than you previously had.
