It's hard to write about this considering the circumstances, and how there are no chapters, but I'll do the best I can. Annie Thoms was directed to be the faculty advisor for their high school theater department. Her and two other students got together to think about the "play" for the winter show, but with their unfortunate experiences, they chose to do a documentary, sort of. Each of the 10 students, all varied throughout grades, interviewed and videotaped two or three people about their reactions and what they did on the day/days following the attacks. After finishing their jobs, they would have to act out each person they interviewed, however, they resembled them down to the steps they take and the way they move their hands when speaking; so precise, so perfect, but yet necessary since it was so personal.
Through reading, they've interviewed all kinds of students-of different grades, and cliques-teachers and even an "anonymous lunch lady"; many different views, all terrified. Although I wasn't there, or even old enough to understand the pain felt throughout people who have lost loved ones, or anything along those lines, reading this is very heartwarming and allows me to see a different point of view very easily, considering the fact their kids just like us and the language comes too natural for me. Out of 223 pages, I'm up to 78, it's an easy read, just hard to get through.
