Purposeful Summary- yardie

It seems counterintuitive that while photographers rushed to capture the horrific scene of 14-year-old Fabienne Charisma’s lifeless body, hoping to spread the story and make an impact, they neglected the more humane action of alerting her family or seeking help. Fabienne Charisma was a bright and beautiful young girl. She excelled in school and was always eager to learn more. She took pride in helping with her family’s business, a small knick-knack stall where they sold all kinds of goods. Her father fondly remembers her as a skilled saleswoman, always trading for better goods. After the catastrophic earthquake that devastated Haiti, leaving buildings in ruins, Fabienne saw an opportunity to help her family by using the goods left behind. Tragically, on January 19, 2010, Fabienne Charisma’s life was cut short when she was shot and killed by the police, who witnessed her taking paintings from a damaged shop in downtown Port-au-Prince. Paintings in hand lies the dead Fabienne Charisma. Photographers raced to capture the perfect shot of her lifeless body when a more compassionate response would have been to notify authorities or reach out to her family.
