This week the class and I read together about the 911 tragedy that occurred at The World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001. The title of the article that we read was called Gravity’s Rainbow: The 9/11 Memorial Manages a Delicate Balance Between Grief and Consolation. This article talks about the memorial in New York for the people who died during the attack of the Trade Center. After we were done reading the story the teacher gave us an assignment to create a found poem using this article.
Waterfalls descend
on all four sides of each void.
Drawing your eyes
until it digs you down
to a dark place.
To some degree
of disappointing developments.
But there's more than one way to soar.
Gazing at “The National 9/11 Memorial”
about what happened on the wretched day.
The memorial is a beautiful site to see if you are ever in New York. But if you ever see it be respectful to the ones who have died. The memorial is what looks like two pools and around the two pools there are the victims names that died in the tragedy carved in the sides and all around. The memorial was put on the site of where the 9/11 attack happened and because of that people will walk pass it everyday and remember that awful day. Even though I was about four years old and did not know what was going on, when I was old enough to know this happened I was like where was I when this happened. Because this was such a big deal and still is today and forever.So next time you are in New York or if you ever go see the memorial and have a moment of silence for the people who were killed in the attack.
