The 4 stories about the falling man are different, but all have something in common. The photo was taken on September 11th of 2001, by Richard Drew who decided he would focus on the one thing that the other photographers weren't capturing. After reading the articles, I learned that the public had many opinions when this photo was released on the cover of a newspaper, these opinions including many different emotions like horror, sadness and shock. In my opinion, I think that the majority of people were right to have this photo taken down. Although it displays the true terror and grief that people should be aware of about 9/11, it should be shielded from certain people. Many parents may not want their young child to see a photo like this, and others may want to teach them about the photo so they can develop a better understanding of 9/11.
Although this photo is very sad, I am glad we will be learning about it in class so I can learn more things about the photo. For example, who was the falling man? Was his family upset when the photo was released? To what extent and what angles were use when Richard Drew was capturing these moments? To conclude this summary, the famous Falling Man on 9/11 has for sure been seen all over the world. Whether the photos and articles intrigue readers to learn more or sadden them causing them to look away, it is an important and unforgettable moment in history that should be accepted and remembered.
