English Incentive- The Lottery

What part of our society should be re-evaluated? Is there anything that we do that should be questioned? OR is it acceptable to live according to customs in order to keep things in order.

Some traditions and rules are necessary to keep our society safe for people to live in. The laws set up by the government are a crucial part to maintaining a safe and clean environment. Along with these laws, I believe people who break these laws deserve to face the consequences, such as serving time or paying a fine, but one part of society that should be re-evaluated is the death penalty. Many parts of the world have already chosen to get rid of the death penalty for serious criminals, but others have not. The death penalty is a bad way of punishment because it contradicts the law set up by the authorities. Murder is illegal. How is death as a punishment any different than murder? It is not. The death penalty is just like murder because it involves killing someone, who may not be a model citizen, but is still a person with rights. I understand that in order to be sentenced to the death penalty, the criminal must have done a very bad deed, but there are other ways of punishment that does not involve such a inhuman action. Life sentence to jail or a certain amount of years without early probation is a more suitable punishment. Just like the lottery in the short story, The Lottery, the death penalty should be re-evaluated and if possible, should be exterminated.

Lights- SAVIOUR

The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees, and I know that something is missing
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them

I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
'Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?

I don't want to know

I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour

It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to hold
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go

I don't want to know

I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour

Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall
Save me

I just want to run to you
And break off the chains (saviour) and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust (saviour) that turned me to rust
I just want to run to you (just want to run to you)
And break off the chains (saviour) and throw them away
I just want to be so much (just want to be so much)
And shake off the dust (saviour) that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour (saviour)

I'll need a saviour
