September 11th, 2001 was a memorable day in American history. It impacted the lives of many as well as their loved ones. In the poem List of "Don't Forgets" and "Remembers", Randy Forbes writes about when he was eight. He says that before September 11th, he would wake up and remember not to forget daily things such as brushing his teeth and doing his homework. He would go to school with his friends and have no worries. Then one day, everything changed.
After September 11th, 2001, Randy Forbes would now wake up and remember to do things like thanking his parents for their hard work, honoring those who keep us safe, and to value every day. Forbes now appreciates what he has and is thankful for everyday on Earth.
You described the events really well and explained the poem good too. It makes me want to read the passage as well!
ReplyDeleteI like how you stated a main topic then told what the poem was about. I also liked how your second paragraph changed the focus, but was still about the poem.
