Ground Zero Observation Report

9/11 was a great upset for the American nation this prompting President Bush to give a speech. George W. Bush was the 43rd president of the United States of America, this makes him a credible and trustworthy speaker of the topic. His speech

9/11 could be looked at from many different perspectives. Some may say it was a national terror, and we changed as a nation, but others may agree it had a more personal effect. As for Dick, well he said 9/11 wasn’t a turning point for him in any way. He noted, “for the country, yes, but for me, not so much.” He agreed that it affected how we lived, for example, an increase in airport security, but he knew he would have to get back on a plane soon, and because of the attack, the security would be higher. The risk of a repeat attack was low. He also explained that it was very moving seeing everyone trying to help after the attack had taken place. He concluded, “I think our country came together, and I think there is still patriotism because of

First looking at President Bush’s speech, the overall situation being shared throughout this piece of work is that the incident of 9/11 was a devastating tragedy and we should always remember it as a reason for why we should continue to stay strong and surpass the limit. Although Bush never did say all this, but he reflected the idea in we should never feel at complete sorrow whenever we remember this incident, but instead, feel the need to improve and advance to prevent this act of terrorism. It is never a wise choice to sorrow over a problem and leave it untouched. Ever since the incident of 9/11, the United States of America has excelled and advanced ever since in order to prevent future terror-influenced acts.

One of the most catastrophic events America has faced were the September eleventh terrorist attacks. Our nation faced one of the most damaging attacks in our history and it was up to our president, George W. Bush, to address the entire nation and assure everyone that America still remains a strong and functioning country. Our President George Bush was called upon to address the nation, a nation that was currently suffering from loss, fear, and despair. His goal was to persuade Americans to take comfort in the effort being put forth in resolving the aftermath of the attacks and the fear they caused. Recognizing his audience as being innocent victims of an unknown evil, President Bush ultimately had to present a speech that mastered various techniques

On September 11th 2001, the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out terrorist attacks against the United States. Two planes were flown into the World Trade Center twin towers. The third hit the Pentagon outside Washington, and the final plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed as a result, and this tragic event defined the presidency of George W. Bush (History.com Staff). Shortly after the attacks, President Bush delivered a powerful speech that helped unify the American people, defy the terrorists, and call the citizens to action. In his 9/11 speech, President Bush successfully uses rhetorical devices to address the terrorism, unite people, and give hope to his audience.

The citizens who lost family members were broken and lost. The government was shocked. The United States, as a whole, did not know how to recover, but it did. President Bush helped us push through. He had to make some hard decisions along the way, but in this speech, using tone, all of the rhetorical triangle, and cause and effect he justifies all of the tough decisions he made. He gives reasons for why he, his administration, and Congress made the decisions they did. In the end, using these rhetorical devices strengthened his speech, and left the audience agreeing with him, and even if they did not totally agree with the choices he made, they were left understanding his logic behind those decisions. Bush did a fantastic job appealing to his audience with this speech. It was a powerful and left the audience with a sense of security about where America is

Michael Wright was in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 at 8:48 in the morning. He is an account executive. Wright was a thirty-year-old man who witnessed the crash at the tower. It was Tuesday morning when Wright and his coworkers felt an “earthquake” when they were inside the men’s room. He then opened the door and was surprised by the fire gushing into the building. From there he tried to evacuate and get to a safe place if possible. Wright’s information was reported in Esquire News “My Escape From the 81st Floor of the World Trade Center”. The following is a narrative of what Wright ‘s day on September 11, 2001 could have been. He was in a good mood when this tragic event happened.

It is scary what a group of men and four planes can do to change the future of a country and the way it runs itself. On September 11th

Another thing that I thought about after watching this documentary is what my mom has told, my mom tells me that “Jerome you can be right all you want but if you don’t be quiet you can get caught up in situations” and this documentary has opened my eyes to this because once I feel that i’m right there is nothing that you can tell me and I would try to prove you wrong, but after watching this i’m going to have to change my ways. Another thing that I’ve heard a lot was “the top 10% ruled the country” after hearing about ALEC 80% of me believes this, I mean Alec has proposed a lot of the bills that we have today. Overall I feel that this documentary was very informative and has opened my eyes wider on the issue of

The speech tells us that terrorist had attacked Americans, and it left many dead and injured. It tells us that people on the airplane, in the building, people going in to save lives, moms, dads, friends, and other family members had been trapped in that building. Many people outside of the Twin Towers caught the airplane in action hitting the building, this leaving American’s scared for their lives.

Perhaps the most recognized terrorist attack on the United States was the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2011. The horrific events that unfolded as a result of these attacks will never be forgotten as well as the lessons learned by first responders. Tens of thousands of people were involved in rescue, recovery and clean-up work following the 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) terrorist attacks. The diverse group of people who responded to this disaster included traditional first responders such as police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians, along with non-traditional responders such as construction workers, operating engineers and other volunteers, most of whom had no prior training in

One of the most detrimental and traumatic events of United States history involves the terrorist attacks on the day of September 11th, in 2001. September 11th is a day countless Americans will never forget. Because our nation encountered such a horrific attack, it was up to our president during the time, President George W. Bush, to address the country. Many Americans suffered loss and fear; therefore, former President George Bush’s goal was to heal and comfort the nation by persuading them to see the light within the darkness. Bush’s speech was a success because he showed America’s togetherness and solidarity by creating an emotional connection to the audience; moreover, by responding appropriately to the attacks, he presented himself with a leadership and role no one else could take.

For Mike Cross, September 11 was a different story. He started out his day by going to work for Planning Systems Incorporated in Stephenville until he heard about “a plane that crashed into a tower, you didn’t know it was a terrorist attack.” Mike’s office had an irregular approach to the situation, nobody made a big deal about it. Nobody went home. “It seemed like a far off distant place of New York.” Before 9/11, “Terrorism wasn’t in the vocabulary.” After the attack, nothing went back to the way it was before. “Everything was looked through the lens of terrorism.” The trust between fellow men and coworkers was gone, lost in the past. “Everyone was viewed as suspicious… and

what was your overall impression of the video? Was it a balanced/accurate portrayal of the issue/people? How? /Why not? Did your position and/or understanding of the issues change? How? /Why not?

The 9/11 terrorist attack on the U.S. had its nation shook and will forever be commemorated by its citizens. Just hours after the incursion, President Bush stood up for his country and addressed the nation with a speech in a live broadcast. In his speech, he used many rhetorical strategies to invigorate his country. His use of tone alternated throughout the speech, which displayed his many different attitudes toward what had happened. President George W. Bush’s Address to the Nation brought patriotism within the nation by promising that America will recover from the horrid terrorist attack.
