I’m going to answer one question in form of a story as an example. Lets see how it turns out.
Do you think people deserve second chances?
Yes I do. For example, a criminal, named Terwen is sitting in a dark cell. He has a scrap of paper in front of him, with a pencil in his hand.
“What are you doin’?” demands one of the inmates.
“writing” Terwen answers quietly. He writes down his past and experiences, how he got in so much trouble, and how he got a death penalty. He told his readers not to do what he did and to go on another path. His work told present robbers, and criminals to stop what they are doing, and just get a regular job.
Terwen is an example of a person who has repented his ways, and if he got out of jail and gotten a second chance, he would have been a very influential person. Instead, he is executed the next day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another example would be something like this: Julie had a long night. She had a soccer game to go to and a baseball practice. Homework was way down the list of things to do, but when Julie got home she tried to do some of it. The only problem was that it was 11:00 at night, and she was to tired to pay attention and do it right. So the next morning, the teacher was so angry at such poor work, he gave Julie a second chance and made her to it over after schoolt.
Without that second chance, Julie would have a low grade. Instead, she got a B for doing it over!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lastly, a final example would be when Nate was speeding in the suburbs. He was in a hurry, because he was late getting home, and he had left his 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter at home alone by accident. He had totally forgot! Then he hear sirens.
“Great”He muttered, and pulled over to the right side. The policeman poked his head in the window. After he did all the paper work, and the ticket, Nate tried his luck.
“Please sir, I have to get home, I got 2 toddlers alone at home.”Nate pleaded.
“how long were they alone?”
“About 5 minutes”Nate replied. The policeman looked at Nate thoughtfully.
“Ok, I’ll give you another chance. You may go, but promise me you won’t speed on these streets or any street elsewhere again? I will also let the charge for leaving toddlers go since you look so worried.” the policeman said to the driver.
“thank you, thank you, thank you, sir! I promise!” Nate said smiling and drove the speed limit to his house, where his son and daughter where waiting for him by the window.
So with Nate, Julie, and Terwen as example of second chances, You can clearly see that I think people deserve second chances. Nate never sped again and got home just in time before the kids hurt themselves, Julie got a chance to fix her grades and learn something, and Terwen deserved a second chance to be a leader, but never got to be one.
Note: Never try anything that was in these scenes at home, because there is one in 8 chance it will work out. I never said the death penalty was bad or good, I just said what happened so please don’t comment saying that you disagree with me about Terwen’s execution. Thank you!
