Catherine Genovese was a twenty-eight-year-old who was going home after a very normal day at work. She was stalked as she headed towards her apartment and was stabbed by a mysterious man. She screamed “Oh, my God, he stabbed me! Please help me! Please help me!” but no one ever did. A man in the upper apartments convinced the criminal to leave. The criminal shrugged his shoulders and headed towards a white sedan. Once the apartment lights faded, he was back. He stabbed her again and made her shriek “I’m dying!” Windows busted open and lights cut on, but still no one actually helped. The criminal drove away. He came back and was looking into the doors of the apartments. She was discovered at the bottom of the steps struggling. She was fatally stabbed for the third time. It took thirty minutes for the police to be contacted. Within those thirty minutes, Ms. Genovese had been stabbed three times and killed. The killer was Winston Moseley. He had a wife and two kids. When he was questioned by police, he admitted to two other killings.
The point of writing this essay was carried out thoroughly. It brings awareness to me and it’s making me angry. This is another flaw in humanity that I wish I could have discussed in my concept paper. People are chipping away. Some people who were questioned said that they didn’t want to be involved and others said that they didn’t know why they didn’t call. This makes the lack of compassion really evident to me. It is an essay that couldn’t save Ms. Genovese, but has saved me from making such an idiotic mistake.
