During the first day of class, I asked the students to write a short essay on whether or not they agree with the U.S. government's use of torture at Guantánamo Bay (I need a writing sample from each student). This is the first line of one of the essays:

"For ages, torture has been used as a form of punishment, to curve one's will into something else, and possibly as a form of foreplay."
