Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police
While reading “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the police”, I knew that the people did not bother on calling the police. Honestly, I was impressed by this story because now and days people still do this. I started to pretend I was in this story because the author wanted his audience to have a click while reading. While I was imagining to be a character in this story, I wanted to be that person were to call the police right away and help that victim. This story have caught my attention throughout the story. I really wanted to add details to this because it was interesting to know that people around us won't step up for help for other. When the victim was getting attack by the stalker, this guy came out of his window saying “Let the girl alone” (128) to the stalker and the person who call out to that stalker just went back to sleep. I wanted to scream at that person because he told the stalker to let her go but he did not bother calling the police because he was tried. I wanted to asked that person if he was the victim and his neighbor tried helping him by saying “let him go'', would you be so angry that no one bother to call the cops on you. I would rather help the victim by calling the cops , instead of tons of guilt when I don't save that person. Thirty-Eight who saw the crime should have helped her by calling the cops because it is much better to feel care to other. If they care, the next something goes wrong they can be heroes like the same way they did to that victim. This people that called the police at the last minute felt like they were in a movie were their role was to be silent when a stranger tries to attack a victim and they will pretend that they did not know it was a bad situation. The author, Martin Gansberg wants to make a point were we help others and they can do the same actions as we did. He wanted us to know that stepping
