New York Times 9/11 Article

Today i read an article in the New York Times that was titled "A 9/11 Loss Some Can See From Their Window, Still." This article was interesting because it focused on people living in or around the area where the twin towers once stood. Some people have moved because the sight of ground zero was too much for them. Michelle Lord stated that "I always kept my blinds down," and told reporters that she has since moved into another apartment away from the scene where she can keep her blinds open.

Obviously, 9/11 has effected many people in many different ways. Some do not stop to think about how the scene of ground zero is hurtful to look at because it brings back a memory of something that will never return. Especially the elderly are still upset about the situation, such as Theresa Cianciotta who stated, "I will always feel very sad and angry that something like this could happen in this country." I think it is important to note not only the effects of 9/11 on people whose families were affected either by death or injury, but to also look at the point of view in this article.

This media form is good to look at because it is giving a different view. It is taking into consideration others who are mourning over this tragedy not only those who lost a loved one. Of course it is more than appropriate to write about the people who were lost and to pay respects to those families, but it is interesting that this newspaper took the time and consideration to see how others were still in shock and have made major life changes due to the terror of 9/11.

The view is something that will never return, but the memory of the towers will never be forgotten.
