13 Hours Analysis

During the night of September 11, 2012, a United States State Department Special Mission Compound, also known as the Diplomatic Compound, was attacked by a group of terrorists in Benghazi, Libya. The United States Ambassador, Christopher Stevens, stayed in the Diplomatic Compound, as his home in Benghazi, along with nine other people. State Department computer expert, Sean Smith, and three members of the “17 February militia,” also known as the “17 Feb” and five Diplomatic Security agents accompanied Ambassador Christopher Stevens. About a mile away from the Diplomatic Compound was the Annex. The Annex held six American security soldiers, the soldiers were: Dave Benton, Mark Geist, Kris Paronto, Jack Silva, John Tiegen, and Tyrone Woods. A group of terrorists went up to the front gate of the Diplomatic Compound and knocked it down with a rocket projectile that got shot out of a rocket launcher. The members of the “17 Feb”

V for Vendetta is a mirroring film of the contextual influence of the terror attack of 9/11 in 2001, during George Bush’s presidency. It

In early September, 2001, tragedy transpires much closer to home then Americans are accustomed to experiencing. The public initially react with fear, even dread, as they wonder how widespread the attacks are, and how substantial the impact will be. However; as days, even hours pass, these feelings give way to anger, hot and bitter, demanding to be quenched in the cold water of retribution. Justice is sought almost unilaterally among a nation so often and easily divided as the public, politicians and news organizations seek to find a just answer to the evil done to their country. And an answer is given, war is ventured, and the demand for vengeance appears to have been somewhat sated. Time passes, some wounds slowly heal; as they do, the decisiveness

On September 11, 2012, in Benghazi, they made several requests for extra security but the requests kept getting denied on Hillary’s watch. This left four Americans dead in Benghazi, including a U.S. Ambassador.

I agree with the article, "Six-Hour Days Will Never Work". In my opinion it will never work because six hours seems to be to short in time to do work. if we continue our 8 hours most people can get done work plus more and have time to get the next shift report. Six hour shift is considered part time hours, that means no full time benefits for insurance or any other sort. Families can often get sick because they can't afford to pay an well visit to the doctors. That can a effect a person's family within the household. Or they wouldn't have enough money in a paycheck to provide their family. Losing two hours a daily can add up when it's time to get your paycheck. For the 8 hours that a person spends at work, they can take (2) 15 mins break

The African nation of Libya has been no stranger to world headlines recently, for varying reasons. The most notable of which being the 2011 NATO led overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi and his regime which held political power in Libya for 42 years. Though, arguably the most memorable event for citizens of the United States would be the attack of the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 which resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and several other U.S. Citizens. The Benghazi attack showed how quickly the people of Libya could turn violent. While not every individual involved in the attack was a radical or a terrorist, radical Islamists did take credit for the attack. The activity of ISIS in Libya

I chose to take on the task of waking up at 7:00am every day for a week because I believe it will be a useful exercise for me as I move forward from my university career into the working world next year. Realistically any job that I have will require me to wake up around this time so I believe it would be beneficial to me to get into this habit sooner rather than later. As well, taking on this routine throughout the rest of the school year will allow me to get more done throughout each day and become more productive.

When I got back to the office I was able to finish up some work that was given for that day and was able to get some of my homework done in the meantime. I took advantage of that fact that my supervisor was on vacation. I was able to stay as long as I wanted. Because in the beginning she created my hours and the days that I would come into the facility. It was only three days a week for about 4 to 5 hours, which was not even close to making 20 hours a week. Staying for almost 6 to 7 hours, it made a huge difference in my time sheet. Without it I am very sure that I would not have been able to finish as early as I did.

I have changed so much in so many unexplainable ways and I can't help but think of how I will feel or change in one or two more years. This world scares me, yet the thought of getting out there and experiencing my purpose in this world excites me. I want and expect so much from life. I refuse to stay a zombie in this sheltered

War affects people deeply. It affects them as individuals and it affects them as a people. The experience of war and the changes that happen are different but lives are never the same. Each film tries to describe this to those who haven’t personally experienced it. Where 12 O’clock High has a focus on the individual soldiers, City of Life and Death takes a wider view from combatant to civilian to foreigner.

My current situation with reading is that I somewhat approach it with a negative attitude, most of the time this is because of the type of text or topic; I enjoy reading scientific articles with graphics and numbers, where I can skim through many articles and understand it, even if it feels like useless knowledge, an example of what I enjoy is me reading about scientist claiming that the Iceberg that sank the Titanic was about 100,000 years old. I do realize that I enjoy reading text-only novels too, but it also depends the content if it attracts my attention. Also I never create a reading schedule, instead I just read when I feel like it (sometimes at last minute). Taking notes is difficult for me when reading, and since I don’t read fast

“American democracy is much stronger than vicious, cowardly, terrorism.” In my opinion, this powerful statement by Rudy Giuliani, the previous New York City Mayor during 9/11, ultimately sums up and implies the importance of commemorating the anniversary of September 11th. This quote is not only consoling but serves as a reminder to all Americans that our nation, when unified, is nearly imperishable. Throughout the film In Memoriam, there are several tragic and devastating images of the fateful day. Among these include both World Trade Centers being stricken, people trapped or jumping out of the windows, Police and Firemen frantically rushing to help, and the disastrous collapse of both towers. There is no doubt that at a moment like this,

particularly in the case of the anti-Islamic film. He referenced a statement released by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which stated that it condemned efforts to “hurt the religious feelings of Muslims,” and that they “firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.” Romney affirmed, as well as other Conservatives, that the current administration’s response to the attacks were not to condemn them, but to apologize to those who executed them. This also led to a debate on how soon after the attacks Obama referred to the events as “terrorist attacks.” It was affirmed that he did not immediately classify the attacks as “terrorist” in nature, of which Romney accused him during one of the debates. This was a buzz topic for days in the media, as a fact check revealed that the President had actually delivered a statement the day following the attacks, condemning the actions as “acts of terror.” Despite the myth having been debunked, even after the elections had ended and

In Jean Rhys Good Morning, Midnight Rhys successfully criticizes modernist claims. This novel is a continuous critique of polarizations about sex, class, and moral values that oppress women and the poor. These polarizations are reinforced by male’s domination of language and literary traditions.

Confessional poet Robert Lowell expresses his personal trauma in his poem Skunk Hour through his syntax, multiple themes, and his gothic tone. Published in 1957, Skunk Hour is a part of Lowell’s fourth book, Life Studies. It was inspired by a particularly difficult time in Lowell’s already problematic life. Lowell spent his entire life struggling with mental illness, but in 1954 his health took a turn for the worse. He spent three weeks in the locked ward of the Payne Whitney Clinic, where he began to write poetry in the confessional style, illustrating his own personal experiences. Skunk Hour portrays Lowell’s intense awareness of his loneliness, how dark and empty Lowell feels inside, as well as the internal conflict Lowell has with his depression and various other illnesses.
