The image of the man falling from the World Trade Center is probably the most troubling one that Oskar (and all of us) saw from the images of the 9/11 attacks. Oskar's terrified of the image but can't stop thinking about it. At the same time it gives him a strange comfort, because he thinks it could be his father and he believes that falling to your death is less painful than burning to death.

pick#SeptemberSenses Day 18: There is the dreaded #SenseOfFalling for Humpty after the fall. This is an extraordinary story of courage, self-determination, and a shaky-yet-firm resolve to not allow one‘s anxieties to rule one‘s entire life. The transformative power of terror and climbing higher while one turns green in the face, with the knowledge that one can fall helplessly at any minute is done so well.
