In the essay, “Kalief Browder” by Jennifer Gonnerman, (Gonnerman), I noticed that the author took the third person point of view as she wrote the essay. On the other hand, Susan Klebold took the first person point of narration as she recalled the happening of that fateful day. In the narration by Gonnerman, it is clear that she felt empathy for Browder as she met him due to the choice of words that she uses as she describes the occurrences (Gonnerman). I believe that this is seen from the fact that she says that the stories that Browder was ...
