“Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police*” by Martin Gansberg.
In Gansberg’s narration, the thesis of the story is established in the first paragraph of the narrative; the thesis provoked a clear explanation of what the narrative would be concluded about. Likewise, in the beginning of the narrative, it deemed to be an exciting story. However, I became bored after “A City Bus Passed” portion of the story. The lack of sensory details in Gansberg’s narrative did not allow the audience to fully understand the frustrations of the police in these cases. Additionally, I did not particularly like how the story “jumped” too quickly to a different subject, as seen in line 6 in the writings.

In conclusion, one could somewhat experience what the author’s purpose is, but, the lack of elaboration failed this narrative, in my opinion, and narratives such as these would not be ideal for me to
