14 Cows for America
was my favorite of the three books specifically because the story
appealed to me and I found the artwork to be visually stunning. The
story was about a man who grew up in an African tribe and went to
America to study medicine. He returned after September 11th and told
his people what had happened and they felt the "weight of 3,000 souls
lost" on their shoulders. They wanted to do something to help America
so they donated 14 Cows because to the Maasai, the cow is life. The
basic moral of the story is, "because there is no nation so powerful it
cannot be wounded, nor a people so small they cannot offer mighty
comfort." I will give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Fireboat
was my in between book. The art in this book was also very well done
and the story was good. The book tells the tale of a fireboat in New
York City in the 1920's and how useful it was to the city. But as
America grew older, the fireboat faded away until years later when a few
people decided to shape it up. When September 11th broke out, the
fireboat helped out as much as they could with putting out fires and
such. I will give this book 4 out of 5 stars.The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is a true story about a French man named Philippe Petit who walked between the twin towers on a wire when the towers were first being built. This book was my least favorite out of the three. While the story was very adventerous and fun to read, the art was not appealing compared to the other two. The story also did not hold the depth in which the other two stories did. I did enjoy how it showed the towers in history though. Overall, I will give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
