Hamill/ The necessity to speak

Sam Hamill perhaps a great person in some people’s eyes and others can see him as the bad person. He was born in 1942 and abandoned in northern Utah where he spent his years in an orphanage during world war two. He was later adopted by a farm family of Utah where he spent his adolescent years that don’t mark a good history on him. Those bad years he was in and out of jails till he decided to join the Marine Corps. He joined the marines not too be a war fighter but too teach of what he knew best. He also taught at schools and different kinds of people and prisons where he shared what he had lived and the meaning of life.

The necessity to speak was a great story of his that talks about life in being the necessity to speak out. He talks about life and his life in his writing as being something that is an everyday job on whatever we do or happens. Life as he talks in his own words that it’s the meaning of making other people laugh, enjoy of what life is all about. But he also talks about life being a harsh environment and most of the time not being fair to us. There are very many bad people that live out in the world that don’t have a sense of humor or just don’t care about people or stuff. Killing is an everyday process that happens and many human beings get killed.
As Mr. Hamill talks in his life story this world is full of bad people and cells are getting overcrowded. He can relate to this in many ways because of actually spending time in jail and now being a teacher at prisons. He also that there are pleasantly fifteen hundred people alone in the united states awaiting death row which is a great amount. He talks about this world being full of violence and us society paying the price for it with the tax paying for jails which costs much money to run them. Mr. Hamill being a poet, writer and a teacher talks about a little of his own experience and what this world is which many of us can say it’s a catastrophe.
