Short Answer: Read the story on page A2 "Will death make Tsarnaev a martyr".
What do you think about this topic? If they put Tsarnaev to death, will he become a martyr and inspire more attacks, or does it matter at this point since he has already carried out his attack?
Write at least three to four paragraphs and make sure you use textual citations from the story to support your opinion.
I think that Tsarnaev should be put to death because he caused the death of a lot of innocent people and I don't really think that there is a possibility that he could become a martyr and inspire more attacks because whats done is done and he did already carry out his attack. It said in the article that he was more of a "lone wolf" with a low profile and doesn't have any known links to the Islamic State group or al-Qaida or any other terror organizations.
Tsarnaev was responsible for three deaths and more than 260 wounded people near the marathon finish line. I think that he should pay for what he did to all of those people because what he did was wrong. There are some groups of people that might make him a martyr because he could be someone that they might look up to or he might influence some people in a bad way.
There are some things that his death might influence but a life in prison might actually be a worse punishment than death. There is also the possibility that he could influence people while he is still alive so I still think that him being put on the death sentence.
