Please enjoy this music as you look through the site! ( I would suggest that you press play and then continue to read the story below first.)
Thinking Time!!!
Tears of An Angel...(song by RyanDan) I thought of this song as I was doing some research on my topic:It relates in the way that the poem and song lyrics mirror what could be thought by a loved one who maybe knew someone who was executed. I picture someone ( a family member or so of a mentally handicapped inmate) spending the last few minutes with someone about to be killed by the government. They can not cope with the thought of having to give up and witness their son, daugthter, dad, mother, brother, or sister executed the next morning. They hope and pray that time will pass slow enough for the judge/jury to change their minds at the last minute, but it doesn't come soon enough. The next morning,the family is led to a viewing room, and they watch as their relative is helped onto the gurney and strapped to the bed. 2 hooded men recieve the go ahead......
...and nod to each other ......
.......and press the buttons.....
-How did this make you feel? Does the music help put you in the enviornment of sorrow I was trying to create? Are you more sympathetic because of the music or did the story alone touch you?
