 1.) Summarize your article  a.)Nancy Oliveira was a catholic in modesto that was not always against the death penalty. She accepted the death penalty as part of life in California and truly accepted it as a given, just part of a civilized society. Once she moved to Italy and received a letter from death row prisoners in Texas and Georgia she learned that prisoners on death row were given nothing, and they were not allowed to work to have spending money like regular prisoners. The Italians even raised large amounts of money to help with the appeals of those they believed were innocent based on their own research.  2.) What is the author’s point of view/perspective on the death penalty? a.) The author point of view is stunned because she wasnt aware of what was going on through her country with the prisoners death penalty after living there for so many years.

 3.) Do you agree with the author? Why or why not? a.) I some what agree with the author because not everyone that is in prison is an inocent person. some prisoners did have to go through death penalty becaouse of the case they did but then again the innocent ones shouldnt have had bad consequences if they didnt do anything wrong. so im on both sides of the authors opinion.

 4.) Use the text to support your ideas. a.)"They told me that 137 countries no longer use capital punishment; that the United States stands with the likes of China, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan as the world's top executioners; and that 90% of the world¹s known executions take place in these countries."
