Personal Fallings of 9/11

I did not know exactly what I was set up for when I began reading this article.  Previously warned that it was a difficult topic, I sank into it anyway, bracing myself for what would appear on the next line.  I scanned the article like I always do and there it was.  In the center of the artistic words was the picture of the “falling man”.  Immediately I felt all the blood rushing to my head due to the own man’s head first- downward position.  He was heading straight for the concrete pavement and I began reading the article.
         
Having just been assigned to conduct interviews about 9/11 for my World Cultures class, I have re-experienced the normalcy of how the day began for everyone.  Diving into this article was no different.  Marlow Stern invites his readers into what he had planned for that day; photo shooting at a fashion show.  Having this article start out as personal as it was, made me want to continue on and see just what was going to happen next.
