"With their eyes" summary

With their eyes is based off of the tragic incident in america 9/11. Each student, teacher, and staff member from the university of New York. They all had their own point of views on what happened. They were very close to the Twin Towers (World trade center). About 200 hundred kids called there parents that were in the towers and wanted to see if they were ok. This book really touched me because a lot of people were in shock and so was I. I had a cousin who was in the twin towers. He thankfully made it out alive. This book is very emotional at times because some interviewed one person who parent died during the collapse. This book is an absolute tragedy I would hope for some to read to read it. The book I have finished is "With their eyes" by Anna Deavere Smith. the book is about the tragic day of American history 9/11. The book has 3rd person omniscient. Many perspectives from each of person. They all had different feelings, sights, as well hearing about it. The book is very well known and tells thee exact times of what was happening. Read the book to find out more!
