Hope For The Rising By Bruce Springsteen

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

September 11, 2001 is a day that shook the United States to its core. Millions of Americans felt the pain, the loss, and the anger that came with the attack on their nation. It was a day of mourning, and when it comes to days of mourning it is difficult putting one’s pain into words. However, Leonard Pitts Jr. was able to move past the emotion. He put into his words, not only his own feelings, but the feelings of an entire nation. Pitts conveys the emotion felt after the terror attacks in his essay “Sept. 12, 2001: We’ll go forward from this moment” through his mournful, angry, and righteous tone.

The piece is classified as Aboriginal Australian literature. It was published in the 1960’s. The purpose of the text is to give hope in a new beginning after the events involving the racial tension between the Aboriginals and the white settlers. The poem is directed to the Aboriginal people of Australia who suffered from these events

September 11, 2000. Boom. Broken. These two words alone are enough to describe the date that is now 16 years behind us. To many, the day still feels like yesterday, and always will. Leonard Pitts is likely one of these people. Sitting behind a clunky desktop with trembling hands, a cluttered brain, and a shaken heart, the man was responsible for one task on the mere day after America was altered forever: finding the right words to say. All he had was his own words to give Americans what they needed at this very moment: unity. To do this, he directs his piece “We’ll Go Forward from This Moment” towards the ones that gave America this desperate need. However, through his acknowledgement of what happened and determination

Tunnel of Love is unlike any other album that Bruce Springsteen has written. This was an album full of love songs, songs about the ups, downs, trust and loyalty that come with being in a relationship. The Tunnel of love album is drastically different from the previous Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A.; those two albums both talked about the struggles and hardships of the working class, a motif that does not appear in Tunnel of Love. The beat of this album differs greatly from that of Born in the U.S.A. this album isn’t as up beat and fun, instead the album is more down beat and sounds somewhat sad.

Fifteen years ago, terror touched American soil writing in our memories with indelible ink a sequence of numbers – 911. Four short of 3,000 perished that day; but one survivor, the last survivor to be pulled before the complete collapse of the World Trade Center’s North tower, shared a miracle that changed her life completely. This woman, a member from the Brooklyn Tabernacle, shared her testimony at my friend’s church in Bermuda. She along with fourteen other co-workers, reached the thirteenth floor before the building collapsed on them. During the 27 hours she laid trapped, she cried out to God, telling Him that if He gave her another chance, she would turn her life around and live for Him. As she was just about to give up, a hand grabbed

Accounts of “the events surrounding September 11th” manifest a touchstone of America’s topical place in the world. As with other benchmarks, American mythos quickly starred names and situations to humanize the catastrophe, to create heroes, and to thereby rally America to a patriotic, yet politically mediatized, campaign. These four selections epitomize such pregnant stories. Personal histories dramatize heartrending experiences that confer the sublime an individual spirit that forges an audience connection. Firemen, leaders, and widows become paladins of America and its way of life. But the agenda divulged in Bush as a Leader “we needed after all,” in the repeated evocation of George Washington and other “national symbols,” and in the refrain

One of the most traumatic events in American history took place on September 11th, 2016. Millions of lives were affected both directly and indirectly by the evil acts of a terrorist group on American soil. While the physical damage done by the days’ events were very clear, the emotional wreckage was a little bit harder to see. The ruble of the twin towers has been cleaned up, and a new building has taken its place but the mental hardships and consequences of the fateful days’ events are still being felt. Paul, a 5 year old in 2001, was a victim of the attack, and encountered unthinkable loss as a result of the inhume actions. The trauma that he was subjected to on 9/11 left a lasting impact on him, and has severely altered his mental health.

On September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacked The World Trade Center 2,753 people were killed in the terrorist act. In this novel, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer uses his characters to show that experiencing the event and how the grief from that events affect someone physically and mentally. Safran Foer is trying to communicate that everyone goes through dealing with grief differently. Some people deal with it quickly, others it takes awhile. Some people it is just mental grief, and others in take an actually on their body.

A biography is important in understanding and artist and Portelli does make a case because talks about the artist and her life. Talking about her hardships as well as how her music was about her life. Portelelli says mostly her biography was made in some of her song and covers. Representing her past and present and how she changed. Portelli says how her music is like a biography and how the singer Loretta Lynn’s wanted people to know her story through music. Also we as human want to connect to artist and know about them, as well as relating to them by their

In the horrific events of the 9/11 attacks, approximately 300,000 men, women, and children lost their lives. When we think of this infamous day, we often dwell on the tragedy that it induced. The film, Rebirth, took a very different outlook on these events and their effects on those involved. Rather than portraying only its adverse effects, it focused on how those who lost loved ones triumphed over their melancholy, and went on to still lead happy lives. Taking note from the film, we should remember these events by the true acts of leadership that mitigated the terror of this day.

Music is something that is needed in everyday life. It fuels creativity, brings people together, and it even helps people learn. In Bruce Springsteen’s song, “Nebraska”, it tells the story of Charles Starkweather, the most notorious killer in Nebraska. Charles Starkweather symbolizes fear for many people, and will forever haunt not only Nebraska, but the whole world.

This song talks about someone coming home from the war who wasn’t treated very well. They lyrics are very straightforward, depicting a story through words such as, “Got in a little hometown jam, so they put a rifle in my hand; Sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the yellow man” (Google). What’s particularly ironic about this is that a lot of people thought that the song was very patriotic, even though it’s lyrics clearly state the opposite. One reason the book suggested this might have been so was because people might not have even been listening to the lyrics, hence weakening the impact of his message. One reason why Springsteen might have created this song was because although he didn’t have this experience himself, a lot of people his age had come home from the war not long before and received this rough

Majority of African American women get judged on the day to day basis.

The symbols and point of view that Angelou specifically added in her poem made her readers realize that there are many meanings to this poem.

The song is about a materialistic path of life that people take, which only satisfies them with desires of the world for material objects. This in turn leaves a weak feeling of lack of spiritual fulfillment leading them a question of how they would get into heaven. The character in the song who is a lady in finds the fulfillment of worldly satisfaction by buying stairway that she may use to heaven.
