    In the poem, “ We Breathed You In” by Patti Tana, Patti is trying to tell all the people who had perished that they are still in our hearts. Patti is trying to say that on 9/11 many passed away and that we will never forget them. In this poem, the tone is very sympathetic and full of sincere emotions. Patti is trying to say that we feel so bad about this event. In the poem she constantly repeats the sentence, “ we breathed you in.” This clue suggests that Patti Tana is saying all who died in 9/11 are still apart of us.
