Reaction to the Oklahoma City Memorial

I feel that no matter who you are, when you see the pictures of the people who were effected by this terrible day you will feel sad. I like the fact that there are memorials that have been built to remember these people. I feel that without them people would not get the true impact of these innocent peopel who died for no reason. It shows us that life is a very precious thing, we should be grateful for all that we have.
The memorial that I feel stuck with me the most was the chairs. When you see them all lined up in the field you can see just how many peopld died. Not only that but there are also smaller chairs that represent the chilidren that died. The over all mood when looking at this is sadness and disbeleife that this could really happy, and the fact that it did. When it is dark and the chairs light up its seems to me to be even more symbolic. The next thing that caught my eye is the survivor wall. It shows that not everyone died fromm this horrible tragedy. It is a sign of hope, that life will go on. However it is something that is very sad to have to look at. To think what these people had to go through and its not even over. Everyday they have to have the horrible thoughts in their heads. I feel that all the survivors are heros because they beat the odds and they are still living.
