Yusef Komunyakaa’s poem “Facing It” portrays a dim scenario in where an African-American veteran visits a memorial site and reminisces painfully about the memories he experienced whilst in battle. As he stares at the wall, he begins to see his “black face” “[hide] inside the black granite” (1-2), expressing the imagery of his dual feelings in an artistic manner. The anaphora “I’m stone. I’m flesh” (5) emphasizes his attempt to remain stable, but eventually fails to endure his inner feelings as…

general idea of what the memorial is about. The viewer should be able to gain a small understanding of the RCAF and remember them for what they did. Canada can be often confused for other countries/nations and the viewer will be able to know that Canada has its own air force that is very unique and important to world history via WW2. The symbol used is seen with the actual Canadian fighter plane as that in itself should be able to quickly tell the viewer that the memorial commemorates Canada…

My dad lost family members and family friends in the Vietnam War. I remember how emotional he got just by seeing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This Memorial can evoke sad emotions, but it can also evoke emotions of pride that our country was able to succeed in this war. Ground Zero at the World Trade Center site also appeals to pathos.
