After walking fir a while he went into an alley and found a girl that was 21 years old. Mark sexuAlly harassed this woman, raped her and then killed her with a knife that he was caring that night.
He woke up next morning with someone knocking the door, Mark didn't remember anything so he opened the door right away and in a matter of seconds he was handcuffed and sorrounded by the police. They took him ti the court.
They arrived to the criminal court, there the prosecutor told all the case and brought a witness, an old lady, that saw everything. She exagerated the crime but Mark didn't knew this. The judge only nodded and played with his gavel.
The prosecutor stood up and gave all his arguments. Using pathos, logos and ethos.
It was turn of the defence but the only thing he could do was to loser the sentece against those powerful arguments from the prosecutor. Death penalty was his sentence.

Lyrics:
I woke up it was 7
I waited 'til 11
To figure out that no one would call
I think I got a lot of friends
But I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone
When you're spending every day on your own
And here it goes
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone
And the world is
Having more fun then me
Tonight
And maybe when the night is dead
I'll crawl into my bed
I'm staring at these four walls again
I'll try to think about the last time
I had a good time
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here on my own
And here it goes
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares
'cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
What the hell is wrong with me
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored and
I can't fall asleep
And every night is the worst night ever
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
Yeah, I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that its not fair
Nobody cares
'cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
I'm just a kid
And all life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that its not fair
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone
And the world is
Having more fun than me
Tonight
I'm all alone
Tonight
Nobody cares
Tonight
'cause I'm just a kid tonight!

Summary Of This Week
Before this whole thing of modernism I knew who was Igor Stravinski, the russian compositor, he used atonalism and serialism to make all his music; I also knew who was Claude Debusy, french compositor, and what was modernism but only in music.
I learned how and when was modernism in art, architecture, and the definition. Beign different is what modernism is all about, such as Holden in the Catcher in the Rye, always trying to be different from the rest and making everyone look like phonies.
I'll need to review everything that has to do with the definition, I don't understand it very well, and I'll need also yo investigate a little more about The Catcher in the Rye and modernism, so I can make some new connections.
