Alan Johnson decided to leave New York because it is__________.
Having lived in New York for several years, Alan Johnson decided to say good-bye to the city. He does so not because it is dirty; there are cities far dirtier than New York. Not because it is jammed; there are cities far more crowded. Not because it is displeasing, there are cities far more unpleasant. As long as there is some- thing you are fond of there, you will like it. If Vienna is known for its excessive care for its inhabitants, Paris for its pride in what it has fulfilled, then New York is known for its disregard of whatever may happen to its inhabitants. "Indifference" is the word for New York’s character. As might be expected in most metropolises, crime rate is high in New York mugging, robbery, murder and rape are occurring every minute of the hour. What Alan cannot understand is the madness and meanness in addition to the offence killing someone he didn’t know just because he felt like doing so for the moment; robbing elderly people in their wheelchairs because they couldn’t resist; and stealing coins from the tray of the blind news dealer because he couldn’t see. Alan Johnson, instead of taking everything as unavoidable, wishes the New Yorkers had the courage to say "no" to the ugly aspect of the city.
