Today’s explanation how the author makes his argument in an article.


This article is blame about uncooperative attitude of people toward criminals.

He refers to an interviewee who was asked about an incident which a killed woman hadn’t found for two days, and he answered to have heard a loud banging and woman’s screaming asking a help.

Then, author asked a question. “What did he do?” He writes the things which the man could do for her, or should have done for her. It makes readers feel that the uncooperativeness of the man could cause the result, and how terrible it was.

He refers to other incident. A woman was aggressively grouped by a man on a train, and finally, dragged into the toilet and raped. People on the train at that time didn’t do anything even though they must have realized what happened. What he wants to emphasize here is, again, uncooperativeness of people connect that awful result.

At last, he says if he is in danger, he never relies on others because no one would help him. By writing like this, he made us feel to against about the conclusion idea, like “ I’ll never be such cruel”.
