"A Hanging"

In my personal opinion, I think that no one has the right to decide when a person must die or live. The overall message of the story "A Hanging" by George Orwell is that the author wanted to express the way he felt when he really discover that the prisoner was not dying, and he was alive as himself. The author realizes that it was not fair to destroy a healthy, conscious man. You can see when the prisoner avoids the puddle, meaning that he was still reasoning and he didn't want his feet to get wet. The author understood an individual’s feeling by knowing he was still alive. I think that regardless of their misbehavior nobody has the right to take the life of another.
