In the literature, “Message from the Sky” by Fred Moramarco, was about victims and hostages who were calling to their love ones and telling them that their about to died. When I was reading the poem, I was thinking about many different things that popped up inside my mind. I thought about the words that they said to their love ones as I was reading their quotes. I also thought of how it feels to be in that person’s position that is about to die. The poem made me feel really sad because I thought of being in that person’s position and knows how it feel that I am about to die. This literature also made me feel really mad because those people who had died didn’t deserved to die. My favorite lined from the literature was when this guy named Brian Sweeney left a message for his love. The lined was “Hey Jules, it’s Brian, I’m on a plane and it’s hijacked and it doesn’t look good. I just wanted you to know I love you and I hope to see you again. If I don’t, please have fun in life and live your life the best you can. Know that I love you and no matter what, I’ll see you again.” I chose this line because I really have a strong connection to this line. I would have said the same things that he said to my love.
When I was 8, I was in class at Edison Elementary School in my 2nd grade classroom. My teacher who I really admired came to talk in front of my whole class. She told us about 911 that are happen while she was talking to us. She showed the news on TV and it was talking about the 911 situation that had happen. It was lived on the news while I was sitting in my classroom watching it with my own eyes. This made me feel really sad because I never saw nothing like that before in my life. I saw many things that happened. I saw people’s tears dropping and people running for their lives. When I saw the two towers collapsed, many ashes went into the air. This affected the air and people couldn’t breathe. They were running for their lives trying to get away from the falling towers. Many people had died in the 911 situation. When I got home that day, it was still on the news. My dad was watching it and he was talking to my mom about it. I knew that this had to be really important to the United States. I watched it and all it replayed the towers collapsing to the ground and people running. I realize what they were running from. I still remember seeing the news and saw that the towers had fallen all the way to the ground. The air fills with ashes of the burning towers. People with ashes covering their body and wearing masks to prevent breathing the ashes into their lungs.
If I was trapped in the building, I would react by saving myself and my buddies who were trapped with me. I know that if I tried, it wouldn’t even matter no more because I know that I cannot get out of this situation alive. The fire was below me and I couldn’t have done anything to save me or my friends. If I was trapped in the planes that was hijacked, I would have go and try to kill the terrorists and save myself. I would have called my parents and the women that I love in my life that I was about to died and I want them to know how much my love means to them. I would have said to my parents, “Hey, mom and dad, I am trapped in the plane. It was hijacked by terrorists and we are about to crashed. I love you both so much. I know without me no more, you guys will miss me. If I died, please help my wife take care of my kids. Thank you very much! Bye.”. I would call my love and said to her, “Hey honey, I called and I want you to take care of my kids. I love you with all my heart and I am going to die. My plane has been hijacked and I am about to crash to the building. I hope you will take care of my parents and my kids. I am really sorry. I wish that this didn’t happen. Remember, I will always love you. Bye.”. I would have said the same thing if I was trapped in the building. My life means everything to me and my parents. If I was in that situation, I know that without me, my parents won’t get to see their son no more. Today, I still remember about this event that had change our nations. This event made United States as it is today.
