So...The last paragraph in this entry made me cry. <br /><br />So many pundits and fundamentalists have been saying "never forget" for so many years now, and nearly all of them say it to promote whatever their agenda is. They don't mean that we should remember an uneaten sandwich, or the grey dust that sat stubbornly on the subway tracks for weeks, or the way that it felt when the "towers of light" memorial was first switched on... they want us to not forget the anger we felt; they want us to never forget that we have reason to hate the people who did it.<br /><br />This is my least favorite day of the year, every year.<br /><br />I remember when Spiegelman's book came out, and I was excited for it, but it didn't move me much at all. Maybe it's because I'm not a parent and so much of the story was about Spiegelman trying to find Nadja. The only thing that really stuck with me was the image of the towers glowing before they collapsed. That and the ridiculously brilliant title. It's hard to find good Sept. 11 art. I didn't think that "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" was all that great either, except for the devastating and beautiful ending.<br /><br />What I mean to say is that the end of this entry moved me more than just about anything I've read about Sept. 11 in years. I'm glad you're a teacher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
