Purposeful Summary – PRblog24

It seems counterintuitive that fifteen-year-old Fabienne Charisma is a victim of gun violence in Poet-au-Prince. On January 19th, 2010, Fabienne Charisma was shot and killed in Haiti. During an earthquake that took place on this day in Poet-Au-Prince, police officers shot over the heads of civilians. It is said that this was done in order to regain control during the event, but unfortunately, lives were lost during this ordeal. As her family is filled with grief and shock as they just lost their daughter, photographers rush over to Fabienne’s lifeless body and photograph her. In a way, there is a chance that the photographer did not have ill intentions when taking this photo of Fabienne Charisma, hoping to spread awareness of the tragic earthquake. However, the use of this photo seems needless, as Fabienne was not killed by the effects of the earthquake, but by the hands of a police officer. To some, the use of this photo puts the focus on her, which in a way could raise awareness for police violence as she was just an innocent fifteen-year-old girl. I truly believe this photo of Fabienne is more exploration than anything, as her family will forever have a photo of their daughter lying helplessly for all to see.

    Tries to cover too many angles without selecting one on which to declare your Purpose. Could easily be improved.
