Post 9-11 with Sherman Alexie and Phil Klay’s Books
Even though, we are slowly but surely putting an end to terrorism in the United States because in the story by Phil Klay "Redeployment"; he uses vulgar language to get his points across. In Sherman Alexie's story "Flight Patterns”, he shows us in his story that everyone is not bad just because they are a different race. Each story allows you to visualize different points of views such as terrorism and can led you back to post 9-11 and how the world was spilt apart.
Phil Klay's intense story allows us as a reader to not only understand how he felt while being deployed but also it allows him to express his feelings to himself. This story allows us as Americans to think back to after 9-11 and what other things we need to work on as Americans.

You can't, until you’re in your first firefight, or the first time an IED goes off..."(Klay 12). This quote and statement from Klay allows us as readers to think back to when 9-11 happened: “Those living on the East Coast of the United States may recall the beautiful late summer day of September 11, 2001” (Sides 69).
This was the day the planes and the Twin Towers blew up into flames. After the towers went into flames, many Americans stopped and could not look at foreigners the same or even the fact that we were not prepared as a nation for such an attack.
This also relates to Sherman Alexie's story, "Flight Patterns". Alexie shows us that we are stereotyping people by their skin color such as this from his story: “What are you?” The driver
The short story 'Identities' by W.D. is an excellent example of how society tends to judge and stereotype others based on their appearances and where they come from.
September 11th, 2001. A painful date in American history that impacted the entire world, and yet therefore brought forth multiple speeches to give the people hope once again. All of which used many strategies to achieve this needed reaction. Of these many speeches, there are two in particular that will be focused on now; President Bush's and Prime Minister Blair's.
9/11. What was once a simple date that turned into a horrific day in 2001. “On September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110 story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors” (history.com, 2010). The attacks were from the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda. After 9/11 we went into a chaotic security mode and honestly were upset and scared of Muslim people. Non-Muslim Americans were so upset and angry at another religion that
September 11th, 2001 is a date that will be forever remembered by many. It was one of the most terrifying and horrendous days ever experienced in the United States. Just this one event impacted every American, as well as effected others all over the world in some type of traumatic way. Best known as, 9/11. It marked a time that changed society forever instantly.
September 11, 2001, the start of terrorism in The United States, and the end of innocence in our lives. Some of us are lucky to never know the fright of that horrid day. For others though, the events that transpired on September 11 will live on forever in their memory.
In the story “Redeployment by Phil Klay, the narrator was deployed in Iraq for a period of 7 months, during the deployment, he sees many dark stuffs and done many. As result of these events, the narrator is impacted in many ways. The experience of war transforms his views on a normal social life in america, therefore makes his readaptation to society challenging.
Generally we want to approach decisions with placing ourselves in another’s shoes, however, seeing past how we view ourselves within our own racial group can again lead to stereotyping behavior.
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.
On September 11, 2001 is a very known and sad date for every american. On this day four different terrorist planes hit the largest buildings, the twin towers were 50,000 people work. When this happened everybody had to not become selfish and needed to help one another. After this took place many people died and were
September 11, 2001 will be remembered as one of the most horrible and unbelievable days ever experienced in the United States. It was a great Tuesday morning in New York and people were doing their normal routines. There were two World Trade Centers in New York that people worked in. They were all doing their regular jobs as every day but their ordinary day became something they had never expected. Out of nowhere in the sky came a jet and it headed directly for the North Tower.
Where were you when you heard about 9/11? When you hear about a traumatic event, time seems to stop. Most people remember every detail of their surroundings. Imagine living and breathing in a traumatic event.
The terrorist attack named 9/11 was a very traumatic day for America. The morning of September 11th, 2001 was just like every other morning in New
September 11, 2001 the U.S. was attacked by four crashing planes caused by terrorist. Two of the planes crashed into The World Trade Center at New York City and killed everyone on the plane, 3,000 deaths when the tower collapsed. One to the Pentagon a administrative building at Washington D.C. The last plane crashed into a field at Pennsylvania while passengers and crew members tried to take back control. After that George W. Bush responded to 9/11 and declared “War On Terror”. But I thought the U.S. response to 9/11 was not really appropriate by the way.
9-11-01, September 11, 2001, a typical day for the United States and citizens of New York City, which soon changed and will be forever remembered as the beginning of a new America. October 7, 2001, when the U.S. entered war in the Middle East in response to the attacks that happened on September 11th. The attacks on the U.S. were not only the start to the longest war in American history, but also the start of many changes for our country. Some effects on the states include political changes and new improvements. Ideas to improve our safety included involved security improvements, new laws and agencies. Although the political effects after 9/11 were the majority of our concerns, the economic aftermath and recovery were huge.
October 7, 2001 less than a month after the Twin towers went down the United
