Never Forget

Topic: Did the book come to a satisfactory closure? Why or Why not? If not what would you have done differently if you were the author? Never Forget didn't come to a satisfactory closure for me it just kind of abruptly ended. They start the book off with a introduction and they lay all the groundwork for the book kind of giving you what it consists of and after they tell the stories of these 82 people they just stop no closing statement or anything. I was expecting them to end with a statement from both of they authors just like it started off with but that didn't happen they went straight into the acknowledgments. If i was the author of this book I would have done several thing differently first I would have had a better structure to the stories (i.e. grouping similar ones together) maybe people that died/people that saw it happen, people that were in the building that could have died and then people that helped. This would help the book flow a little better, along with that maybe introduce the different parts with like a sub introduction that gave their opinions on what happened surrounding these type of people. That would bring them into the book cause now they don't seem very attached to the story. Then to bring the book to a close i would have something like the introduction they gave but have closing remarks about the attacks and how it have effected you life to talk and interview these people and learn these stories. In my opinion that would for me bring the book to a satisfactory closure.
