The Tragic Atmosphere Of 9/11 In Fox News

9/11 was a very traumatic event in the United States. On 9/11, a series of terrorist attacks took place. There were a total of four hijacked planes that was involved with this historical event. Two planes went right for the World Trade Center or the “Twin Towers.” A hijacker flew the third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania. Thousands of lives were ended that day. On the night of September 11, 2001 at 8:30 PM, the whole nation came together to listen to President George W. Bush’s speech. His use of ethos and pathos is good for explaining the issue and being able to talk about what has happened. His use of logos, or logic, is successful because he gives reasoning for what he did when the attacks first happened and how he handled everything.

In September 11th- A National Tragedy, James Peck writes about how the tragic event, September 11th has affected our world today. Peck states that tragedy is a word that has commonly been overused by Americans throughout news articles and magazines when a significant event happens. When referring to September 11th, the crashing of the twin towers, this is a tragic event.

On September 11’th 2001 on the morning hijacked by 19 Arab men 4 aircraft were all heading towards California, and used them as suicide missiles. They flew into the World Trade Center two twin towers, the Pentagon and after a long struggle with passengers crashed last down on a field. World Trade Center consisted of seven buildings, three of the buildings collapsed and the four others were damaged by the other collapsed. It is believed that the 19 Arab men, was led by the Egyptian Mohammed Atta (1968-2001) 5.

The obvious bias illustrated throughout Michael Moore’s film certainly does detract from the messages conveyed however when presented in the right circumstances it adds more value to the messages. The obvious bias leaves many people questioning the credibility of the director’s message as it doesn’t show the full spectrum of the situation, which is what documentaries are for, and ultimately this detracts the films message. However, in some circumstances the obvious bias brings more light on important aspects which should be acted upon thus adding more value the message being portrayed. Michael Moore has directed over 12 documentaries and a handful of them have been awarded with prestigious film awards. “Where to invade next”, “Sicko”, “Bowling for Columbine”, “Capitalism: a love story” and “Fahrenheit 9/11”, these are just half of the documentaries in which Michael Moore has directed. The purpose of a documentary is to present a nonfictional motion picture which aims to promote or

In conclusion, both Quindlen and Sitton show both sides of tragic events. The imagery used in the articles sets a realistic tone, emphasizing the great emotion that came with both of these tragedies. Innocent lives were taken, four little girls and other countless blacks in the civil rights era and innocent lives in the collapse of the twin towers of 2011. Both changing a nation, shaping it and bringing the people together. Unbelievable events of sorrow still impact America to this day, as the nation honor the lives to the people that sacrificed for all we have, for America. In the articles, both authors use vivid imagery of American disasters and the loss of innocent lives to emphasize its effect on the people that rise as nation through the debris of hate.

Written Assignment Unit #5 3/6/2018 September 11 September 11th 2001 will always be remembered as a tragic day for the American people. It was a day where thousands of people died because others believed that the freedom that Americans had was sinful and wrong in the eyes of their G-d. But the American people would carry on from this tragedy and prosper for many years to come. One of the things we do not associate much with the attacks is sports. Sporting events were in fact affected by the attacks. Personally, it was not in my mind when I watched those towers fall. One of the things we do forget, is that sporting events bring happiness and comfort to a damaged country. Frank Linsky and Lena Williams wrote an article called Many Sporting Events Called off or Postposed which was about all the

All over the news, magazines, and the television, the main section would be about the attacks. The newspapers and television were the only source that the public would get detailed information from. The Pearl Harbor attack headline was “Japan Wars on U.S and Britain; Makes Sudden Attack on Hawaii; Heavy Fighting at Sea Reported”. The big bolded headlines steered the citizens’ attention in to get them interested. It was also a brief description of the article and keeps the citizens reading. The headline is similar to the one of the 9/11 attack headlines. The 9/11 headlines was, “U.S Attacked: Hijacked Jets Destroy Twin Towers and Hits Pentagon in Day of Terror”. Again, the headline draws in the attention of the readers who want to be updated with the story. Both headlines of the two attacks update the readers and make them want to read more of the story. They inform the people what happened and they give evidence to predict what will happen

Throughout the novel, “102 Minutes” by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn, a common tone is produced about the severity of the destruction of the World Trade Center. A neutral attitude is used when describing the events on the morning of September 11th. When narrating over the tragedies that took place, the authors use specific word choice and real-life examples to display the twin towers collapsing and the stress, fear, and panic being felt throughout Lower Manhattan. For example, Dwyer and Flynn write, “As easily as the roaring jet had knifed through the steel face of the tower, smoke now relentlessly, swiftly, seeped into the top of the building, finding paths around the concrete floors, emerging in billowing, ghastly clouds” (Dwyer and Flynn 37).

I wake up in the morning in my apartment in LA. I turn on the TV and I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears. I was watching live cable news and there was a lot of coverage. I saw that the plane crash into the twin towers. I was frozen and tried to catch each word from the news broadcaster. It felt like a movie, it was unbelievable and unrealistic. They showed a lot of smoke coming from the buildings. It was very chaotic when they shot it up close there were people calling for help, screams,

When I think about 9/11 I feel two main emotions: anger and sadness. The way I am angry in this situation is most likely different from everyone else’s type of anger. Most people I have heard talk about the tragedy of 9/11 are/were angry at Osama Bin Laden or just any Arab-Muslim person, but I’m angry because of the focus on American deaths. Yes, I know almost 3,000 Americans died, including representatives from 115 countries, but what happened to the millions of innocent lives taken by our military because of this anger sweeping the country. Sure, everyone’s anger and fright caused by this event brought the United States together as one, but at what cost? I do agree, though, that the 9/11 attacks were works of terrorism, but if we really

September 11th, 2001 is now a date discussed in history lessons. While the post-9/11 generations may not have witnessed the changes of this tragic event, which rapidly filled every crevice of US society, they have an entire generation ready to narrate what they witnessed on and after that day. The expeditious reaction made a permanent mark on American culture.

It felt like forever had passed, but as I kept looking up at the clock, I realized it had only been a few minutes from since we first reached the huge break room tables. My supervisor finally went up to the front of the break room and through his tears, he managed to inform us that hijackers had taken over airplanes and collided them into the Twin Towers in New York City. So much silence filled the room; you could hear a pin drop. Everybody’s blank and puzzled gazes twisted into an afraid and horrified look, like they had just seen a ghost appear. Mr. Smith, the vice president of the company, told us not to fear too much, New York is a long way away from us. Not one person moved an inch. There were looks of horror and shock throughout the break room. A few seconds of quietness passed when finally Mrs. Smith turned on the televisions in the break room. The only thing I saw was smoke, dust, haze, torn clothing, buildings on fire, and people running around trying to take cover. My mind will never forget that picture, it still feels like it happened just yesterday. We all sat completely horrified in fear as everyone pondered if we would

In his article, “15 years after 9/11-have we said goodbye to carefree?”,” Paul Fadelli explains that society can never go back to being carefree due to the rise of terrorist attacks. Fadelli presents to middle aged folks who remember the 9/11 attacks, which shaped this society into a new era of occasional terrorist attacks. Fadelli believes that even though terrorist attacks are more prevalent in society, that society shouldn’t lose the act of being carefree. Fadelli’s purpose is to prove that things can never go back to being carefree before the 9/11 attacks, but can still have a sense of being carefree.

Time: “the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.” In the television series, 24 time is a justification for every action. 24 is a fictional series that follows the actions of Jack Bauer, a Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) agent. Each episode unfolds the events that occur in one hour of the same day. The plot mainly consists of Jack Bauer racing against the clock to save the United States from terrorist attacks and plots. In the series the pressure of time is used as a justification for threatening, torturing, and murdering. The representation of time conveys to the audience that in the event of a possible terrorist attack the United States government will exhaust all

The terrorist attack that took place on September 11 was quite chilling and eye opening for all Americans. As citizens, our safety and freedom has never been questioned so severely. We looked at our government for peace, but also in each other. Is it possible this traumatic event could have strengthen individual’s positive values? While skimming through the optional articles to write a review about, the topic of 9/11 caught my eye instantly.
