Assignment for school. We had to write a personal narrative, our character had to witness an execution. It could have been any execution we wanted, I chose a hanging because we saw the hanging from the movie "Capote" in class. When I imagined the setting, I imagined it to be something similar to the setting from the execution scene in that movie.
