‘Out of the blue’ is a monologue interpreted by one of the victims inside the twin towers during the tragedy of 9/11. The emotion desperation sums up all feelings that travelled through peoples minds, everyone wanted to escape and get close to their loved ones. The title suits the poem, because thousands of employers working for famous international companies were carrying out their normal routing when out of no where a plane penetrated the building tearing peoples hearts. The poem is narrated as the events progress from bad to worse. Out of the Blue could be considered an elegy as it has a slow, sorrowful tone creating an intense and sad atmosphere. The different techniques and the structure used gives shape to the poem. One of these techniques is writing in first and second person, during the poem there’s a frequent change between first and second person. At times the narrator used the personal pronoun ‘me and I’ and then switches to using ‘you’ grabbing the readers attention by making them feel guilty by not doing anything about the situation. Using this technique the poem becomes more powerful and focuses on the damage of terrorism. In addition the use of second person pulls the reader into present feelings and actions of the narrator. Finally first and second person increases desperation within the poem, because we as the reader experience the devastating moments of 9/11.
