As someone who was an adult on 9/11, who heard about the attacks at work in real time, it's interesting for me to watch the evolution of how my country deals with the trauma, but I'm conflicted about this book and this story. It's interesting hearing about what happened inside the towers and about the lives of a few individuals, but I'm uncomfortable with the way one person's heroism has become a focal point, his red bandana a symbol to buy. I mean, here's a guy who lost his life leading people to safety and his story is used to inspire a college football team to beat another team, the red bandana used by those he saved to identify him turned into a prop for fans to wave? This is just distasteful to me and so United Statesian, combining the profound with the banal. So, I'm ambivalent about this one. ( ) This nonfiction account about the man in “The Red Bandanna” recounts the heroism of everyday people like Welles Crowther during the September 11, 2001 attacks. ESPN Correspondent Tom Rinaldi chronicles Crowther’s life, death, and legacy, and challenges readers to imagine a world where we all choose to be helpers. Includes Prologue, A Note on Sources. A moving story. The author of the book (an adaptation for young readers) was the reporter for the ESPN story about Welles Crowther, who was working in the south tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01. He was a volunteer firefighter and thinking of changing professions. He was a college athlete. Lots of background on Welles and then his family's work to trace what happened to him that day (lots of life saving) and his legacy. This would have some strong character ties. There are lots of red bandanna project potential. A moving, feel good story that also gave a lot of context about the towers on 9/11 and after. Quick read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Winner of the Christopher Award An ILA-CBC Childrens Choices Book A NCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies Book Welles Crowther did not see himself as hero. He was just an ordinary kid who played sports, volunteered at his local fire department, and eventually headed off to college and then Wall Street to start a career. Throughout it all, he always kept a red bandanna in his pocket, a gift from his father. On September 11, 2001, Welles was working on the 104th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center when the Twin Towers were attacked. That day, Welles made a fearless choice, and in doing so, saved many lives. The survivors didnt know his name, but one of them remembered a single detail clearly: the man was wearing a red bandanna. Welles Crowther was a hero. Award-winning ESPN reporter Tom Rinaldi brings Welles's inspirational story of selflessness and compassion to life in this accessible young readers adaptation of his New York Times bestselling book. This powerful story of making a difference through our actions is perfect for helping the post-9/11 generation understand the meaning of this historic day through the eyes of one young man. Rinaldis young reader edition of his award-winning adult story puts a face on that day (9/11), a heros face, and brings to young people someone who stood brave in the toughest of times and who, in the end, was lost doing his best to help others survive.VOYA.
