Up to January 31st :)

This week, the biggest thing for me really had to be The Falling Man. It really did get me a little worked up in class, because not very many people thought it was wrong. I had a really hard time dealing with that, and i also had a rough time explaining how I felt about the matter. It made sense to me in my head, but I really had a rough time trying to get out how i felt, especially without stepping on any toes. My standpoint on the matter was that the picture wasn't necessarily WRONG, but it was wrong to be plastered in papers all over the place THE DAY AFTER. Really. Everyone else pretty much said that they should show this picture, so the world could really understand just how terribly this whole ordeal was. But people already knew that. They really didn't have to see a picture of this poor man plummeting to his death to fully grasp the concept. Especially where so many people had no idea where their loved ones were. So many people were missing, I cannot even imagine seeing this the day after and wondering if it was the person i was hoping would come home any minute. I just really didn't agree with it.
