George Orwell used imagery. For examples, ‘he (the convict) was dangling with his toes pointed straight upwards, very slowly revolving, as dead as stone’, ‘clanking noise (sound of the execution)’and ‘poked the bare body’. All these aspects of imagery allow us to visualize an image of the execution ongoing, empathizing on the pain, the humiliation the convict had to bear.

These are some of the arguments for capital punishment:
· The convict should be punished severely according to his serious crime.
· Capital punishment severs as deterrence in the society.
· The convict has no right to live on as his acts had hurt or kill many people.
· Execution of death is painless.

These are some of the arguments against capital punishment:

The court has no right to deny anyone of living.
Convicts should be given a chance to change over a new leaf.
Execution of death is very painful.
Capital punishment affects not only the convict, but their families as well.

I support the implement of capital punishment as the saying goes, ‘a leopard never changes its spot’. To let a convict who had committed heinous crimes continue living is akin letting the tiger back into the wood. A prisoner still has the ability to harm others even in jail.

I believed capital punishment is justified so long as there are concrete evidences to prove that the criminal had killed or indirectly but intentionally killed others.
