Complete the following for your assignment:
Create a list of 6 sources that you will find useful in developing your topic as you write about it in the next paper.
Each source must be listed as a reference citation. You should follow each reference citation for the 6 sources with a short paragraph of 3-4 sentences in which you comment on the source. You should comment on the author's main points and how the source may be of use to you when writing your paper.
Did you find any strong arguments in the source that you had not thought of?
Did the source make you rethink your position in any way?
Did you see any facts, statistics, quotes, or examples that you could use to support your thesis?
Each reference citation must be in APA format. Several resources are available to help you format your reference citations in correct APA style, including the following:
You can refer to your eBook, English Composition. In your textbook for this course, please see "Reference Style" on page 191. Sample reference citation formats begin on page 192.
You can use citation machines. The most popular and most accurate citation machines are as follows:

Each of the six entries should look like this:
Johnson, D. T. (2011). American capital punishment in comparative perspective. Law & Social Inquiry, 36(4), 1,033-1,061.
Comment--America is the only developed nation that still imposes the death penalty. All other industrialized nations abolished capital punishment in the late 20th century, according to the source. Another peculiarity: although the death penalty is common in America, executions are rare, leaving prisoners lingering on death row for decades. America has the largest death-row population than any nation on earth.
