9/11: A Short Story Of Amanda Waller

If there is one day I dread most upon its arrival, it would be 9/11. Sure there was an immense amount of strength as a nation represented, following the terrorists attacks, but it also brought a great amount of grief and sorrow. I remember watching videos of innocent people jumping from windows in the twin towers hoping to escape the terror. These people believed there was no one to help and no one to help them. They lost hope. In “Remembering a Hero, 15 Years After 9/11” written by Peggy Noonan, published in The Wall Street Journal on September 11th 2016, Alison Crowther—Welles Crowther’s mom—recalls the courageous actions to save the lives of others, made by her son on this horrific day. Noonan utilizes pathos, ethos, asyndeton, and

Are there heroes in today’s society? No one thinks of themselves as a hero, but it does not take any special skills to be a hero because anyone can be a hero. The characteristics of a hero only show up when there is a time of need such as a major catastrophe or minor incidents that happen on a daily basis. During the twenty-first century there have been quite a few major catastrophes. The major catastrophes include the 9/11 attacks, two major hurricanes (Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy), and the Boston marathon bombing. There are also several different major and minor characteristics that a hero will show in times of need. For instance some major characteristics of a hero are perseverance/determination, bravery/courage, dedication/endurance, and selflessness/sacrifice. Some minor characteristics include humility, fearlessness, skill, strength, integrity, and intrepidity (Wanamaker, 2013). In the twenty-first century the 9/11 attacks is the first major catastrophe. During this major disaster there were quite a few individuals who helped to rescue people. There were heroes in each of the three crash sites that occurred on that very eventful day.

The 9/11 terror attacks is one of the historical and fatal events that changed the United States of America forever, especially in relation to terrorists and terrorism. While these concepts were on the minds of very few people in America's population before the attacks, the 9/11 incident made terrorism to become one of the major concerns for the whole nation. This is despite of the fact that they were carried out in New York City, Washington, and parts of Pennsylvania. Since it was a major concern, the terror attacks dominated all kinds of media and contributed to increased security measures for average Americans. Moreover, terrorism currently provides a major threat to global security that any time in American and global history (Dyson, 2001, p.3). As a result, it has become a fundamental aspect for law enforcement agencies and their initiatives, particularly with the rapid technological advancements.

You are a single mom with one kid who is out drinking at a bar for the night. You get a call on the phone. Your son is in the hospital with gruesome wounds and broken bones….from the police.. USA police alone have killed over 5,000 citizens since the 9/11 incident with most of them being black males. Most recently, Freddie Gray was terribly injured by the Baltimore police who arrested him for weapon violations. Freddie gray later died in police custody from a severed spinal cord that he received from the police’s horrible treatment toward him. Riots broke out in Baltimore against Freddie’s terrible treatment. The riots cost the city of Baltimore $9,000,000 in repairs for all of the damage. Research also says that the knife that Freddie Gray

Batman, Superman, and Catwoman are all examples of a vigilante, any person who takes the law into his or her own hands, as by avenging a crime. We have come to love and grow close to the idea of superheroes saving the day, but whether or not they’re doings are good, many debate. When there is a government that fails to fulfill its responsibility to its citizens, waves of rebellion from the people longing for a higher more just power are created. Vigilantism is justified when the government has failed to fulfill their duties in protecting their citizens.

Advocates on both sides of the gun control debate remain silent after a shooting at a Renton, Washington theater left an unidentified woman in serious condition.

This story is going to be based off of AHS. It will include some similarities to the show.

On September 11, 2001 something unforgettable happened. The Twin Towers in New York City were struck by two commercial aircraft. But there was more to the attacks than people realize. Some of the biggest heroes that day were the men and women who landed the 30,000 planes in the air that day. Those people stopped potential hijacks right in their tracks. These people were real heros

I was just a kid when this happened. A man leaned near me. His eyes where dark red almost black to the whites of his eyes. He was so close his nose was almost touching mine. I felt his breath when he said "we all have it in here. We are all infected."

Batman is the fictional character that is either loved or hated. In Andy Medhurt’s essay “Batman, Deviance, and Camp” he argues that Batman is interesting for “gay” audiences. On the Contrary, I believe Batman is heterosexual. Batman should not be judged on cherry picked images, women distract batman, and the Joker’s words cannot be taken seriously.

Liar Temptress Soldier Spy is a novel about four women who go undercover in the Civil War which is written by Karen Abbott. Karen Abbott is an American author who invests her time in composing nonfiction, novels based on American history. Throughout this novel she expresses the impact women had on the Civil war, she brings into view that women were more involved than what we originally assumed.

She was also a member of Secret Six and Gotham City Sirens. Gotham City Sirens also had Poison Ivy, and Catwoman. More recently, she is a member of the Suicide Squad, an antihero group made up of villians sent to rid the world of other villians. Harley Quinn’s charcter oscillates between good and bad.

In a society dominated by male superheroes, it is not that often that a female character is able to step forward and defend the world. There have been quite a few female superheroes throughout the ages of popular culture, including the Canadian Marvel super-heroine, Aurora ("Marvel"), and DC Comic's character, Black Canary (Kanigher, and Infantino). Yet for every one female superhero that is encountered, there are at least a dozen more male superheroes to stand around—and often in front of—her. Even more frustratingly, the female superheroes are often merely there to be the gendered counterpart to the much more powerful, dominant male superheroes. There have been few women who have stood out as being independent, admirable sources of

It all started whenever Amanda Waller wanted to get the top five best villains to go on a search for a witch named Enchantress. She takes over people’s bodies.We are going with a soldier named Flag to find her. Our “squad” consisted of Harley Quinn (me), Deadshot, El Diablo, Captain Boomerang, and Killer Croc. We are Amanda’s “Suicide Squad,” some may say. I am Harley Quinn. Joker and I are the king and queen of Gotham City. Everybody thinks I am more daring and wild than him. Deadshot and I were both caught by Batman. Batman caught me when Joker and I drove off the road and into the water. I guess you could say he saved me from drowning, but then he also turned me in. He caught Deadshot when Deadshot was walking with his daughter. When Deadshot

Government agent Amanda Waller has a plan to deal with the sudden, Superman-heralded “metahuman” threat to the world, by therefore assembling the worlds most dangerous bad guys into an emergency super-team. And when Midway City becomes the ravaged heart of a plot to stub out the human race, that’s exactly what she does, with expectedly unexpected results.If Marvel has the best superheroes, so the geek-logic goes, then DC has the coolest villains around. So it’s only sensible they’re finally placed front, center and in the firing line. Filling its entire super-team with previously never seen before antagonists, Suicide Squad represents a fast-speed sprint of a catch-up for the rapidly unfolding DC Cinematic Universe. And, on that front at least, it’s makes for a great never seen before film.
