Sitting in class about to walk over to go to

towers were attacked
You were in library class
5 .
Who
told you what happened?
Mrs. Longfellow
6 .
What
was your first reaction?
She didn’t understand what was happening. She wasn’t familiar with the twin towers and
what they were. She never heard of it before. She didn’t understand why people
were crying and why they were getting pick up early. (we had a similar reaction and interview became more conversational here)
7 .
Did
you understand the severity of the situation?
No, because she didn’t really know what the
twin towers were but he remembers being upset that she wasn’t getting picked up
early while some of her friends were.
8 .
Were
you confused?
Very confused. Even when she went to her
uncle’s (because her aunt who was pregnant with her cousins worked on the first
floor but got out fine) she was confused why everyone was so upset and crying. She
didn’t see what the big deal was.
9 .
How
did it affect you personally?
I t wasn’t until later on that she
understood what really happened. So now, she thinks about what could have been
done t prevent it and how it would be if it never happened. For example, the
security in airports, racism, and war would be different.
-She was in North Plainfield but she doesn’t
remember seeing any smoke or anything like that. She also doesn’t remember
watching what happened on TV because she was doing homework.
