Lego Influence On 9/11

In the speech, 9/11 Address to the Nation, by George W. Bush he states the terrorist attack in the U.S.A during September 9, 2001. The intended audience of this speech is the citizen of America and the values of the audience is surely freedom and safety. The subject in this speech is how the attack affect the economy and the communities after losing many people. The main objection is the safety of American citizens and encourage them to be strong after the devastating attack. George Bush use the rhetorical appeal– Pathos– because he wants to conveys the audience emotions by having an optimistic tone in his speech.

In conclusion I have informed my audience about the impact of September 11 on America

There have been many turning points in American History; however none have the same effect as September 11, 2001, and many Americans relate the day to the country’s loss of innocence. As a result of 9/11 many American’s lives were affected emotionally, physically, economically, and politically.

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.

Tuesday morning, September 11 of 2001, referred to as a day to remember, the twin towers were attacked by terrorists in a hijacked plane. Thousands of lives were lost and it was a day that brought great sorrow to America. George W. Bush, the president at that time, addressed his speech to America as a nation, giving them hope that the events that took place earlier that day would not shake them but that they would come back stronger. In this essay I will evaluate Bush’s formal 9/11 Address to the Nation and discuss the speaker’s appeals to pathos, logos and ethos to convey his message that America can stand tall as one.

The momentous tragedy that occurred on September 11th, 2001 has been engraved into the memories of United States citizens. What began as an ordinary day quickly evolved into an tragedy no one could have predicted: thousands of lives had been taken and countless more devastated and ruined by the acts of terror. Although unpredicted, the horrific and frightening news affected all. The four planes individually plummeted into their targets—two crashed into the Twin Towers, another struck the Pentagon, and the final hurtled into an empty field—eliciting a wave of panic throughout the nation. The jarring images of commercial airplanes hijacked by members of the terrorist group Al-Qaida managed to instill a fear. As the terrified country anxiously fretted about the future, President George W. Bush delivered a speech to address the nation in order to soothe the tensions and worry. In George W. Bush’s “9/11 Address to the Nation,” the terrorist attack orchestrated against the U.S. is addressed with rhetorical devices such as parallel structure, imagery, and various appeals in order to inspire and heal the country.

September 11, 2001 was a very tragic day but at the same time a very heart shaping experience. The men and women who ran into burning building trying to help the helpless had great courage and personal honor. Every person that had been hurt or killed during this horrific ordeal were rescued and treated as needed. The fallen rescuers did not even think of their own lives, just the people who needed the help. The personal honor that drives a man to search for up to 18 hours straight, looking for any sign of life, honors those lost, and honors his country.

September 11th, 2001 is one of the worst moments that has ever happened for America. With the Death Toll of Approximately 3,000 people, 400 of them firefighters and Police Officers, this day is often remembered with memories of fear. I think that this is one of the most influence events in America’s History for many reasons. First, because of the death toll. Second, because of how it affects life even today.

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory -- hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky; the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground; black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon; the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.

To keep alive the soul of empathy and administration that united Americans in the repercussions of the 9/11 assaults, September eleventh is currently governmentally perceived as a National Day of Service and Remembrance, making a custom of national engagement in beneficent goes about as a tribute to the exploited people, survivors and first responders of 9/11.

Although September 11th was one of the most tragic days in US history, many lessons were learned that are applicable to Americans today. For instance, one of the lessons conveyed is to remember and accept what happened when a tragedy occurs, and to move on and not dwell on the past. Moving on after a tragic event has occurred is key because it helps one’s life to return to normal, and help them live with what has happened. This was especially important for the people that experienced anxiety and PTSD after living through 9/11. Another lesson drawn from 9/11, is to help and lend a hand to those in need of assistance, especially during a time of crisis.

The aftermath has resulted in many changes in daily life, whether it be any form of travel or monotonous and routine activities, like boarding the subway or walking into a school. A positive outcome of 9/11 is the improvement in security which may seem like a burden at times, but the end result is to keep the citizens safe. Although America has not been the same since, the tragic events that occurred on September 11th, 2001 has left a lasting mark on the citizens of the United States and resulted in changes in the everyday lives of our country, making us a safer country that is more unified than

September 11, 2001 brought many different feelings that were new to Americans. Americans had not experienced something of this magnitude in their own country. Even to this day, America continues to resonate what took place in our culture and in politics. The magnitude is definitely shown throughout many songs, books, and television shows that were created and released immediately following 9/11 (Melnick, 64). They try to illustrate the on-going thoughts of what happened and the attitudes that have evolved due to this tragedy.

September 11th, 2001 will be a day that Americans remember for many years to come. A tragedy that killed nearly 3000 innocent people. Fifteen years have passed since that infamous day but it will live on through history forever. Although it will never be forgotten, people tend to read up on the events every year or two, especially around the time it happened. As a way to remember or mourn and gain more knowledge on the attacks, people will often read articles or look at photographs of the event. The article “America marks 15-year anniversary of 9/11 Attacks” and Thomas E. Franklins photograph taken on the day of the attacks serve as a way for people to remember and get that information in their own separate ways.

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
