Down below are fictional tweets that Doris Miller would have been thinking about before and during the first stages of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. I will give my full reflections on the assignment in another blog post.

I like that you included “before” scenes. LIFE–things–were happening
before Harbor eyes looked to the sky. These people aren’t dolls in toy
boxes or characters on a page frozen mid-sentence until we begin reading
again. They’re warm, fleshy people carrying out the mundane with achy
knees and and a bad taste in their mouth from mess-hall food who *then*
suddenly find themselves in aberrant moments that interrupt daily life. I
like knowing of these moments of the mundane because they provide
humanization and a better understanding of the significance of the actual
interruption. Yay you!
