Ground Zero

I went down to ground zero last week on 09/11. Im working on a 09/11 feature story for my journalism class. I havent been there in awhile and it was moving to go there at night with the sky lit up by the beams of light. The silence of the people and the makeshift shrines there reminded me of a cemetary and also brought me back to the weeks following the attack where there were pictures of victims plastered all over manhattan. It's been hard when interviewing people about the attacks to get any unique responses that are different from what has been said already in the media. This has been the gardest part of the assignment.
