I decided to read a poem for my response to 9/11, because I feel like poems have a lot of emotion and true thoughts, and I know that 9/11 was a time of pain and tragedy for everyone. Taylor Writes as if she had died in one of the twin towers, and uses vivid details to explain what what going on around her. As I read I could imagine being in one of those towers, feeling terrified and hopeless.
This poem is filled of the feelings of the writer and probably the feelings of many others too. Taylor really emphasizes on the fact that so many innocent people died that day, and what had possibly been going through their heads when their whole world was crashing down on them. In every stanza of the poem their is a descriptive part and then below it is where she records the thoughts that came from what is going on around her. This poem is very intense and heartbreaking, but I think that it is important to see a little bit of what other people went through and how this catastrophe affected them.
