You have probably had to write about a fair share of boring essay topics, but this time, you’ve been dealt a topic that you think is completely played out–the death sentence.<\/p>\n

You may feel like your teacher is giving you the death sentence by making you write this paper in the first place, right? Well, don\u2019t worry. I have ten death penalty articles that will help you turn a stale topic into a well-written and interesting essay.<\/p>\n

What to Consider When Choosing Death Penalty Articles<\/h2>\n

Before I get to the good stuff, I\u2019ll let you know the secrets to choosing the right kinds of death penalty articles for your essay.<\/p>\n

Choose articles from reputable sources<\/a>.<\/b> This doesn\u2019t always mean that you have to get an article from a well-known news website or national newspaper, but that the article should be backed up with cited facts. If you use statistics, make sure you know where the numbers are coming from.<\/p>\n

Choose your death penalty articles from a variety of sources.<\/b> This means checking out sources from different states and different sides of the political spectrum. It also means using articles from both points of view. Even if you have a firm opinion, you need to understand the other arguments out there so you can counter them.<\/p>\n

Be aware of biases. <\/b>Most people who write about the death penalty have an opinion one way or the other about it. Because of the requirements of some publications, they may not be able to vehemently express these opinions, but you should still be able to at least tell if it\u2019s an article that is for or against the death penalty. Look at the information that\u2019s presented and think about what information may be missing that would make it more balanced.<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve covered what to look for in those death penalty articles, let\u2019s get to some more concrete examples.<\/p>\n

For each article I give you, I\u2019ve also included an MLA citation.<\/a>  If you use the citation in your paper, don\u2019t forget to update the access date (in this case 14 Jan. 2015)  to the date you<\/i> accessed the site.<\/p>\n

Also, check with your teacher to see if you should be using a different type of citation style in your paper (such as APA <\/a>or Chicago<\/a>).<\/p>\n

All right, let\u2019s get started with four pro- death penalty articles.<\/p>\n
