Short story III

-

On March 18, 2016, it was Johnson’s Concert in the Plaza, Panama City, There were over 2 million people in the audience. Johnson has been a singer for 20 years, he is a expert. As Johnson finished his songs on the stage, he took out a gun from his trouser’s pocket immediately, then shot himself in the head.

There were a lot of policemen trying to keep the peace, evacuated everyone out of the concert building. Policemen found some witnesses to get information about why Johnson would suicide on the stage. Some witness offered “when he was singing, while everyone saw him crying. No one knew why, and before he shot, he cried “My dear Mum  Dad, thank you for taking care of me in these years and your encouragement. But I couldnot believe that I got tremendous amount of  pressure. I cannot handle by myself. I love you, see you on the heaven.”  he shot himself on the stagethan. Everyone was shocked. Plus, policemen thought Johnson had a gun because he has  prepared it before and wanna kill himself for a long time. Policemen checked his gun, it was bought from an illegal gun shop, and it was $1299. The policeman have already arrested the shopkeeper.

Fortunately, as he shot himself before, his arm was shaking. The bullet did not damaged the brain. That’s why he was saved and safe. Now he is in the New York Mount Sinal Hospital.

 On March 19, 2016, a reporter visited Johnson’s home to find his parents, did an interview. She asked how did the parents feel as they were informed of their son suicided. What they were going to do? They bawled “First, we must be responsible. We know that being parents shouldnot give too much pressure to our son. But we have  given him a enormous amount of freedom. Sometime he leaves home for about 15 hours and he lives in his girlfriend’s home called Mandy, we tried to offer him a good environment. But why did he suicide? Anyway “Sorry, my baby son!”

 One day, police arrived to Johnson’s work room, they looked for a diary, they guessed it was Johnson's. In the diary, Johnson wrote many things around him, he was having so much pressure, and majority of the reasons were about his family. Such as feeling isolated from peers and family, lack of strong ties to his family and lack of care from parents. Why?


First, his brave dad James Jackson is a popular doctor, he used to save over 1000 patients, has a private clinic and he work with his dear wife Cherry Lam. She is being a nurse, most of the patients were washed their body by her, people liked her much. They two did active and responsible. That's why Mr and Mrs worked from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. In the other hand, Johnson works from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (everyday). As he has done his job, he goes back home. However parents were never ever be there. Therefore he feels so alone and restless. They always ignore him at home everyday, since they usually have no topic to talk with each other, the family does not have a strong tie, lack of care for Johnson. In the diary, Johnson mentioned he used to take drugs. He wanna feel crazy and free.

Final         Andy 2c 2 “Any act of kindness is an act of almost unadulterated courage.” (Hodson,2012) This is what I have learnt from a woman with an incredible and implausible super power which breaks reader’s hearts, and make them start crying, tears start falling, shoes start getting wet. This woman is totally different from us. She has designed over thousands of books in every genre of fiction and non-fiction. A story tells about how could she get the idea of Wonder (her first novel).On a trip outside New York City with her two young sons, Caleb and Joseph. She came across a little girl who was certain that she had Treacher-Collins syndrome. The little girl’s appearance shocked the woman and the two sons. “I was thinking in terms of the little girls feeling?” she wondered.”—Mrs. Palacio (Peter, 2013).  The author of Wonder, RJ Palacio is a graphic designer by day and writer by night, who was born on July 13, 1963 in NYC....
