One of the narration qualities I saw in the poem"My Father in the Navy" by Cofer and the short story"Araby" by Joyce were they both used first person to narrate. The second narration quality I noticed in the poem and short story were the sensory details. They both used flashbacks to tell their story.

I believe this story was more man vs. man. I feel this way because it takes self control to stay calm in a situation where you dont know whats really going on. The author used exellent sensory details, as you read the story its almost as you can feel your heart race as your reading about the author trying to escape the tower along with thousands of others on 9/11. You almost feel the fear he felt that day. He had a lot of patients and self control to remain calm and help others try to escape and save as many lives as he could on the way out.
