Composition written by a ten-year-old English boy

Hi guys! here you have a composition written by an English child of ten when he was asked to write an essay on a bird or a beast. He had something to say and he said it as clearly as he could.

The bird that I am going to write about is the owl. The owl cannot see at all by day and at night is as blind as a bat. I do not know much about the owl, so I will go on to the beast which I am going to choose. It is the cow. The cow is a mammal. It has six sides : right, left, an upper and below. At the back it has a tail on which hangs a brush. With this it sends the flies away so that they do not fall into the milk. The head is for the purpose of growing horns and so that the mouth can be somewhere. The horns are to butt with, and the mouth is to moo with. Under the cow hangs the milk. It is arranged for milking. When people milk, the milk comes and there is never an end to the supply. How the cow does it I have not yet realised, but it makes more and more. The cow has a fine sense of smell; one can smell it far away. This is the reason for the fresh air in the country. The man cow is called an ox. It is not a mammal. The cow does not eat much, but what it eats it eats twice, so that it gets enough. When it is hungry it moos, and when it says nothing it is because its inside is all full up with grass.

Is it morally correct to kill killers?

Hello again class! this time I'd like you to think on justice, particularly, on the death penalty or capital punishment.

I think an image is worth a thousand words, so... let's look at some pictures

I saw these devices in the "Museo de la Tortura" in Santillana del Mar. I was really impressed with the methods the Inquisition used to kill the offenders. You can take a look at some other pics in Google images, they are very shocking.

However, inquisitors were not the only ones to kill people declared guilty; you may have heard about the USA controversy on death penalty, but did you know if it isn't legal in all the states, or that it has been abolished in some others? did you know the method used to execute prisoners change from state to state? Well, you should investigate, get information and real facts about the subject before posting your opinion on this blog.

Blue: No current death penalty statute
Orange: Death penalty statute declared unconstitutional (New York Court of Appeals declared statute unconstitutional June 24, 2004)
Green: No one executed since 1976
Red: Has performed execution since 1976

Be prepared to answer the following questions:

1. How many people have been executed in Florida?

2. How many inmates are waiting for execution in Wyoming?

3. Name 3 states in which capital punishment is banned.

4. Name 3 capital crimes.

5. Which methods were used in the past and which ones are used now?

Do you think is it morally correct to kill killers? What do you think of life imprisonment? Post your comment on the blog.
