Do juvenile killers deserve life behind bars

English
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
5 0

This question refers to the article "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?" by Nina Totenberg.

In this article, Totenberg discusses whether life in prison is too harsh a punishment for juvenile killers. The author does not take a position on this matter, and instead focuses on presenting arguments that describe both sides of the question. The main purpose of the author is to encourage readers to think about  the subject because legislation needs to be passed soon, and this is a difficult question that deserves consideration. She shows how important this matter is when she says:

<em>"Two years ago, the court used the same rationale when it struck down the penalty of life without parole for nonhomicide crimes committed by juveniles. But in Tuesday's cases, the court faces the question of life without parole in homicide cases... the big question before the Supreme Court on Tuesday is whether life without the possibility of parole is itself an unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment when it is applied to juveniles."</em>

Kryger [21]

The poem is dedicated to the author's father who was tortured and imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution.  

In the first stanza of the poem, the author describes that how his father was a school principal and one day he caught a carp and everybody in the school tasted it. The poem emphasizes the importance in Chinese culture where it represents perseverance, luck, and success. Paradoxically, Wang writes that her son is named Carp and yet he died an early death.  

The carp also represents a loss of innocence  and the flawed nature of people with the lines "they had tasted the carp". This stanza shows how a good memory turned into a painful one.

What is metaphor mean?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A metaphor States something unreal/idiotic as if it were true.

Explanation:

Okay! Hey! So Just wanted to say that a Metaphor is much often mixed up with a SIMILE!!! Don't let it fool you!

Simile:

Uses "Like" or "As"

Example:

Her teeth were as white as pearls.

Metaphor:

States something idiotic like it is true and real.

Example:

Her teeth were white pearls.

(Of course, her teeth aren't really pearls, which makes this sentence a metaphor!)

I sure hope this helps! Have a nice day and feel free to message me, or comment on this if you have anymore questions involving this answer!
