This year will be my first year here at Newton North. Last year, I attended a private school in Brookline. As a freshman there, I took a western civilization history class which started off with the Roman Empire. I enjoy studying history, particularly because of how it can give us perspective about how our modern society came to be. As a result of this, I very much enjoyed this past year’s history class and managed to learn a ton of history. Last year my teacher, Mr. Dore, assigned the class a five-page historiographical analysis of the fall of Rome.

This year in history, I am looking forward to further developing my writing and critical thinking skills as well as, gaining more knowledge of the history of the world.

These crimes are sufficient proof that there is enough evil in this world.The death penalty has, and will be an extremely prominent controversial issue worldwide, yet I believe that it is important we remain advocates for the death penalty as it is a vital factor for keeping society under order. it is among the oldest criminal punishments, and has shown its effectiveness if it has stayed around this long. Capital punishment serves 4 general purposes: To punish crime, to prevent repetition of crime, to discourage future crimes, and save the taxpayers lifelong expenses for prison.
