Argumentative writing


Is killing right or wrong?

I think that killing is wrong because it’s like trying to play god when you take someone’s life alternatively it might sometimes be right. Killing isn’t good because you’re taking away someone’s life however it might be right to kill someone suffering.

Killing is not right

When you kill someone you take away their right as a human being to live, it usually leads to many people grieving and furthermore it might spark some revenge attempts or they might take their grief out on others thus making killing and hate an unrelenting cycle.

Life is precious, we all die in the end but everyone should have a fully happy life. No one should have the right to take a life and no one should have to face the sadness of losing someone close to him or her.

Some might say that murderers deserve a death sentence but that would bring you to the same level of the murderer. If you kill a murderer he/she won’t feel the grief of his/her victim’s family so it would be like letting him off for the crimes the murderer has committed. Sometimes killers might not be sane and should have been treated for their mental condition.

Although killing may not be right it may have slowed down the issue of overpopulation and it may also have stopped the killing of others.





Killing might sometimes be right

On the second paragraph I state that everyone should have a happy life and on the very first paragraph I say that it might be right to kill someone suffering. So I’m saying that if someone has an illness that is causing him/her great pain and would possibly lead to a slow and painful death shouldn’t the person have the right to be killed quickly instead of slow and painfully? The person would be in so much pain killing quickly would be merciful.

Killing might sometimes be right if you were trying to save someone from being killed by a person but you ended up killing the killer to do so.

In conclusion killing may be right but it depends on the situation.


 I have changed some simple connectives into different connectives. I have also added a conclusion. 
I have learned about extending sentences by adding connectives and I have also learned how to be more persuasive with my writing.
