Explain the significance of the following passage from Suzanne Berne’s “Ground Zero” in your own words: “Soon I was outside once more, joining the tide of people washing around the site. Later, as I huddled with a little crowd on the viewing platform, watching people scrawl their names or write ‘God Bless America’ on the plywood walls it occurred to me that a form of repopulation was taking effect, with so many visitors to this place, thousands of visitors, all of us coming to see the wide emptiness where so many were lost.

Study the images below. CHOOSE ONE and offer a contextualized close reading, using all your skills you have acquired in the past eight weeks including literary criticism (293-299) -AND- the guide on page 97 of your textbook as a guide. My suggestion is to keep in mind the date of publication and what might have led the photographer to take a photo like this… (what was happening in the world?). You may also want to use pages 82-84 to help you navigate your thoughts on the material, as well as The 8 Aesthetics for Critically Evaluating Art. Your analysis should include a variety of key points and observations that go beyond surface level meaning, and should be no less than 200 words. You are not allowed to pull in outside sources OTHER THAN TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND CONTEXT; however, your work must be your own critical analysis. Each post will be ran through a plagiarism/AI checker–be careful!
