Junod’s article goes in-depth about the emotions that rose due to the public publishing of a photo that depicted a man on the day of 9/11 descending to his death from the Twin Towers in New York City. Junod
(This was ‘supposedly’ the reason for as to why the riots started.) After we see footage of all the live action we then see a split screen of two different places of what was going on at the same time in that day. Whilst all of that was happening, there was a voice over from an eyewitness explaining what was going on at the time of the incident. From this point when I watch the documentary, it makes me feel so intrigued to find out more as to why he was killed and what people thought about it when they found out. When you carry on watching the documentary you can see that there is a lot of ‘natural’ light, this gives the impression of it being more “real” because the lighting is not perfect and has not been edited for it to look any better.
9/11 has had a huge impact on Americans directly. There were many men, women, and children who died. The amount of death has made many Americans sullen and it has affected the way that we view terrorism. The fact that we were hit in the center of our trade, where no one thought we were vulnerable, still unnerves Americans today. We were attacked when we least expected it, and what's more, the attack, to some, was successful.
In the movie Victor is much more blunt with letting Thomas share his stories, he specifically tells Thomas he does not want him to share any of his stories. This doesn’t stop Thomas, so after would tell a story Victor would reply “you’re full of sh*t.” This kind of negative attitude allowed the author to create a character that would play the role of a emotional healer, to make Victor more open and willing to hear stories of his father. That was the role Suzy Song played, she told him his father had quit drinking and how much he missed home. This helped Victor overcome the feeling of emotional abandonment he felt because of his
He is offended by this because he was close to so many who died that day. I’m unsure whether he is justified in flipping-out; however, I do think that it is recoil of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related to that day in September. PTSD is an anxiety disorder that results from a traumatic event where physical harm occurred or was threatened. The effect that PTSD has on NYC firefighters is commonly referred to in the show, and it’s almost as if the viewer had a sense of dismay. Most people in America have had some sort of exposure to PTSD either through hearing the acronym on TV, or by having a relative who was the Vietnam War.
As we hear this story, Mark still seems to be using his camera as an excuse to feel no emotion. He thinks that the lady who wanted him to help her find her family, only came to him because he had a camera. We also start to see Marks obsession with the dead come through, as he is always wondering what happens to the people after they die. This is where his interest for Carlos Perez is sparked. By re-living all of these
When some of the townsfolk speak of the possibly of stopping the lottery, Old Man Warner gets very angry and silences them. Since there is no “savior” of these people, the Pharisees such as Old Man Warner are able to silence those who question the tradition with no resistance. Anyone who has a basic knowledge of the Gospels would clearly be able to spot the similarities between them and “the Lottery.” Oehlschlaeger clearly saw this resemblance in the basic structure of “the Lottery”, but is quick to point out that the main difference between the Gospels and “the Lottery” is that Shirley Jackson failed to include a “savior” of the people. Without this “savior”, the townspeople are free to continue with the lottery as they please. I believe that the Gospel where Jesus prevents a woman from being stoned to death was the biggest inspiration to Shirley Jackson when writing her
After the events of September 11th, 2001, many books, poems, photographs, songs, and other forms of literature were published. Some accurately captured the essence of what the attacks on the World Trade Center meant–some were a weak attempt at doing so. Galway Kinnell, an accomplished poet, wrote the former. In Kinnell’s 2002 elegy “When The Towers Fell,” he uses a parallel structure, as well as his actual words, to evoke images of the building up and the falling down of the towers. He also repeatedly expresses the message that nobody was left unchanged by the events of 9/11, regardless of gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or any other defining characteristic.
People most of the time look back in history when a tragic event happens for an event that was similar to compare it to for example 9/11. They were both attacks on the citizens of the Unites States. Moreover, the brothers’ histories are being examined
