Justice becomes cruelty

     When does Justice become cruelty? This is a very hard question for anyone to answer. The thought that comes to my mind when i think about this question is murder for Justice.
     In the graphic novel "Persepolis" Marjane learns that people who disobey the law ,if a women are raped, and are killed. Since virgins cannot be killed, virgins who disobey the law are married, have their virginity taken, and then are killed.
     In "Things Fall Apart" the British captured Okonkwo and some other people, and held them captive. Okonkwo and the people captured wanted to kill them. But the rest of the Colony did not want to fight them.
    There is an old saying, an eye for an eye, but i don't really like this term. For instance if a drunk driver gets in an accident and accidentally kills the people that were with them. Should the drunk driver be killed because he killed someone? I don't think that its right. So in my personal opinion murder for Justice is when Justice becomes cruelty.

  1. OK, you are making an effort to address the question directly, but considering you had two and a half days to complete this assignment, I expect your writing to be MUCH more polished than what you have posted.

    Writing in complete sentences and paragraphs allows you to clarify your thoughts. Please do this for EVERY assignment!
