The reason that I chose that scene
is because it's showed me that even though a person isn't born with sight,
their other senses are much stronger. For instance, the blind old man
recognizes the murderer by the sound of his whistle and tells a young man who
marks the murderer with an M on his back. The M made the murderer of Elsie
Beckman stand out to the public, which leads to the imprisonment of the
murderer by the police.
This scene is important to me
because it shows how even people with disabilities can help a community. The
old blind man and his recognition of the murderer's whistle prevented what
could have lead to the death of more young children. Although the only type of
communication the murderer had with the blind man was by the purchase of
balloons from the murderer for the young victims, it was clear to the blind man
that he was the murderer. The police did not recognize who the murderer was
until the blind man and his friend target the individual.
That is a very interesting view of the blind man. I thought it was very interesting that the towns criminals were the people who actually brought down the murderer not the police. The fact that he was blind could have been a way to take a jab at the police, German government, that even the blind can recognize a murderer.
