I was traveling from the center of the capitol to my aunt’s home in the outskirts of the city.

    Martin Gansberg in his article “Thirty-eight Who Saw Murder and Didn’t call the Police” uses irony to prove to the readers that the witnesses didn’t care about the murder of Miss Genoves.

This is ironic because if the people were indeed good they would have called the law enforcement and not just let Mrs. Genoves get stabbed three times and die. They heard
