  2. We All Fall Down was...Realistic.The novel tells about the WTC collapsing and thousands dead,but i think it's more than that.It shows how much the world really trusts each other and how much teamwork really matters in the world.If people can't work together and be peaceful,it leads to casualities because people can't accept eachother's differences.

  5. in a word we all fall down was suspensful since that we what would happen to the towers, and wonder if they are going to die will they survive. Especially if when the building is going to fall down and it can at any moment,the ending was kinda cliche on how wills father jonh came out the smoke and debris like some movie. On were the main character turns out to be alive and they have that breif moment where they are glad to see each other

  7. I agree with all the words that Talwinder said. The book was down to earth because when Will and John were taking turns taking Ting down the stairs they both started talking to eachother alot and became involved in eachothers lives more because Will barely gets to see his dad because hes always at work. The book was realistic because it felt like we were actually there and we could imagine what was happening like it was actually happening. The book was sensible because everything seemed to happen like it actually happened in real life.

  8. @ amrit why would you say that the book was suspensful informative and addicting since all i think was that you werent really listening when Cheney was reading but just posted something to get it over with

  9. in a word i think this book was predictable and interesting. i thought it was predictable, because we knew what was going to happen because we know so much about the tragety, but i still think it was interesting because, not knowing if they were going to live or not, and knowing that all those people who risked there lives going into the towers, didnt live. thats what made it so interesting to me.

  10. in a word heroic because the whole movie is about tring to escape a burning building which also helping a wounded person and a father and his son reunit through this situation

  11. @sami i would agree that this book was predictable especially the ending everyone knew what was going to happen and sometimes that ruins the suspence of the book

  12. @Sam I don't think the novel was written so people could predict it...But understand the author's message.The WTC might just be a symbol for differences in human society.Because people are different (in this case,countries),others envy or hate because they do things in a different way,or look a different way,etc.

  13. We fall down for me in a word is movie. I say this because the imagagery in my head was movie like. The author created a movie with his words and it really helped you understand and try and imagine what it was like for will and john and ting. The part where this was most evident was the falling of the towers in my head it was as if it was hard to breath and the dust surronding the area was right infront of my eyes when books do this to such an extent they are in my opinion one of the best.

  14. Humbling.

    The story is a reminder of how insignificant much of what we complain about is.

  15. @Sam I dont think this was book was predictable, but i think it was just that we had background knowledge, of what times the buildings were hit and what time they fell, and they gave us the times of there time

  16. In a word the book was suspenseful because you didn't know if they would get out before the tower fell or if John and Ting would be alive when the tower did fall. And there was always something that would happen that would make you wonder if they would get out or not like when the stairs suddenly ended. The book also had a bigger effect on you when you read it if you had some background information like we did. To describe that in a word I might say that the book was informative or maybe emotional because people were sad, happy, angry, scared; there was all different types of emotions in the book.

  17. @sam I do not think that the book was predictable. We knew that the towers were going to get hit and eventually fall down but the characters in the book did not know that. It was just another work day for them. And in the book everything was so crazy for everyone and we didn't know if they would get out in time. The book was more suspensful then predictable.

  18. although we knew the result while reading about John and Will we sometimes forget the danger they were in and focused on their journey in the towers and in their father son relationship.

  19. The fact that some parts of the book were predictibale made the book better in the end.Because you become more attached to the characters because you know the mortal danger they find themsleves in but they themselves do not.

  20. We knew the backround information about the twin tower, we knew what time it fell, what time it got hit, and so it makes it more perdictable to ready the book because the twin tower fell at 9:58 (south) and when will looked at his watch he told his dad it is 2 mintues before 10 thus the building is about to fall any second, death comes out of no where

  21. the ket to we all fall down is not prediction, because we do know the answer. Prediction was useful in reading Rebound because none of us new the answers.

  22. I don't think that the book was really predictable. We had background information about 9/11 which gave us the knowledge that they were in danger and so was everyone else. The background information enhanced our reading and made us wonder if they were going to survive. Predicting something is what you do when you don't know the outcome but we knew the outcome. So the book wasn't really predictable but was more intriguing because you knew what was going to happen but didn't know what would happen to the main characters.

  23. i agreei dont think the book was predictable i think that it is becaues we know soooo much about then like all the background info so it made it eaiser to guess what was gpoing to happen

  24. Knowing the result created fear that our main characters were going to die, and as the story unfolds and we connect more and more with them it becomes unsettling to think they are going to die.

  25. We All Fall Fall Down in a word was romantisized, i say that because in the end John Will and Ting all ended up surviving. The book in a word was also symbolic because the towers meant so much, and they were symbolic, so writing a book about someone experiencing the tragity was sybolic.

  26. @Bailee .. do you think that the whole book was romanticized? because it was only romanticized for John Will and Ting because they end up surviving, but it would be romanticized for all the other people that had to go through major problems or the people that didn't survive the attack.
