Chapter 32
Summary

The setting in this section is such that Anna lies on the couch watching a movie. Her drug abuse has gotten so bad that she refers to the wine and the pills as her dinner. This conveys to the audience the depressed state in which Anna lives in. As she watches the woman, she assumed was Jane from across the park, she realizes that she is engaged in an argument. Suddenly, Anna sees a knife plunged into the chest of Jane. Jane’s white blouse is filled a bloody patch as she falls near a window. The glass gets covered in blood and Anna gets petrified that her friend could have been murdered. Anna gets terrified and calls the emergency services. She gets angry at the response personnel who seems to be taking too long to assist her. The emergency response personnel ask her too many questions. Anna, therefore, drops her phone and heads out to assist her neighbor. In this chapter, the author indicates the inefficiency of emergency respondents to act in a timely manner. The author’s selection of the 9-1-1 emergency hotline is suitable for the majority of his audience that is based in the United States.
