What do you think about the depiction of September 11 in nonfiction about that day? Although it is a book for adults, Art Spiegelman of Maus wrote and illustrated the book In the Shadow of No Tower, which shows people jumping from the World Trade Center. I am not sure how it is portrayed in nonfiction for children. I know some high schools will not allow such footage to be shown in classes. Is it better to show what really happened to children and teenagers or should it be toned down?
