Richard Wright was born in Roxie, Mississippi. His grandparents had been slaves and his father had abandoned his family when he was six. His mother worked as a cook to support the family. They suffered from extreme poverty, especially after his mother became sick. Wright wanted to write from a very young age and he was overjoyed when, at the age of 16, a local newspaper printed one of the first stories that he wrote. Although no one in his family encouraged his dream, he refused to give it up. He worked at a number of jobs in the South but was unable to accept the prejudices and insults of Jim Crow. He kept reading and thinking about becoming a writer.

The Fairness of Capital Punishment: The Eighth Amendment, the Death Penalty, and "Cruel and Unusual Punishment"

What are the major points of the Amendment and the rights it ensures and protects for every individual charged with a crime?

The Eighth Amendment says " Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." This amendment is saying that weird and unnecessary punishment should be banned. Most of the amendment is related to the death penalty. The amendment protects the ones being committed of a crime. It makes sure that there is no cruel and unusual punishment.

How can capital punishment be viewed as "cruel and unusual punishment"? How is it viewed as falling outside this Amendment and therefore still used by certain states?

The capital punishment is more known at the death penalty. This can be viewed as cruel and unusual because they are getting killed because of the crime they committed.

How did my views on this amendment change? Do I think the death penalty is cruel? What are some of the complications with the death penalty cases?

In my opinion I think my views did change about the 8th amendment. I think it is a good amendment to have because no one wants an unusual punishment. The death penalty can go wrong in many ways. Some people can think it's wrong to do the death penalty because people are dying. But the only way to get the death sentence is if you do something really bad.
