Trail Of Clouds Analysis

What if what you had been told your whole life was a lie? How would you feel if everything reported about a terrorist attack or a shooting was actually a conspiracy by the United States? What is a conspiracy? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a conspiracy is “a secret plan made by two or more people that is harmful or illegal”. There are so many conspiracy theories out there in the world starting as early as the 1800s. These theories range from scientific, terrorist, criminal, political, economic and business, and even religious conspiracies. The two conspiracy theories that I am talking about is the attack that changed the United States, as we knew it, the one that we believed was a terrorist attack, also known as 9/11, and the Sandy Hook shooting. There are multiple reasons that lead me to consider these two attacks to be something more than a terrorist and criminal attack. The reasons are because the timelines do not add up, there are too many inconsistencies, and the benefits are too great.

These essays show me how much I lack when it comes to descriptive writing. I often use simple vague words to get my point across quicker rather than taking the time to write about the details about the situation or the people or whatever I may be writing about.

All of these things - diction, details, language, syntax - must be woven seamlessly together to create a sound essay. That is hard work, hard work that I did not want to do. I love writing, but I struggled more than I thought I would and feared that my lack of creativity would write the essay instead of granting me control. But before I could take control of actually writing, I needed to decide what to write about.

Today, it is very easy to believe anything seen on the internet. With numerous resources available instantaneously, it is impossible to know which ones are misleading, and which ones are legitimate. In the end, it all comes down to being able to distinguish a fake source, from a real source.

Probably the main reason i wrote this is because this was the first essay i ever made.

Nearly three thousand people lost their lives due to this horrible tragedy. That evening, President George W. Bush stood unflinching as he condemned these acts of terror and reminded us all that “America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time” (CNN). Within the next few days, Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda were accused of orchestrating these acts of ‘terror’. Fast forward twelve years to a poll sponsored by ReThink911 where they found that ten percent of Americans do not believe the official government account of September 11th, and thirty-eight percent doubt the American governments official 9/11 story (ReThink911.org). This begs to wonder why so many Americans do not trust what the government has told them. What reasons would the United States government have for lying about September 11th 2001? The connection between the Bush’s and Bin Laden’s, the actions of Donald Rumsfeld, misinformation in the official 9/11 report from the U.S. Government, and a history of the United States utilizing false flag operation’s to justify entering a war are some of the reasons Americans questions the official record of September

This has naturally spurred the various conspiracy theories that have set out to unravel what happened. Some address legitimate issues, such as the as-yet-unexplained fact that American intelligence had been tracking lead hijacker Mohammad Atta since the late 1990s but did nothing to stop him.

Many people may or may not know the real side of the story. Like, what had happened on September 11, 2001, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the flying saucer that had crashed in Roswell in 1947, NASA faking the moon landing, and even July 7, 2005 tube bombings.

Thanks to the internet and many programmes broadcasted all over the television, the conspiracy theories spiralling the events of 9/11 have capped that of the JFK assassination. Despite continuous complaints of the 9/11 attack being planned, several official and unofficial investigations into the horrific collapse of the Twin Towers continued, to grow in strength. A large group of people – referred to as the 9/11 Truth Movement – cite evidence than an aircraft did not hit the walls of the twin towers, and that even if the airliner had, neither of the towers could have been bought down by the impact of an aircraft alone. The group points towards video evidenced of the attack, which they claim shows smoke pouring out of the building way below the impact point of the aircraft, prior to the plane even, hitting the

Our government has been known to keep secrets - whether it is the current scandal going on between the Trump Administration and its ties to Russia or when Edward Snowden revealed that the government had been collecting the data of millions of Americans through their electronic devices. Many famous conspiracy theories that have been talked about for years have turned out to be more than true - with some pretty terrifying proof. These theories weren’t just theories. They were real and horrifying historic events and projects that were carried out by the government and were only released to the public until they had been exposed. There are three specific conspiracies that have gained popularity over the past few decades, and they’ve turned out

My writing process for this essay was along the lines of being easy, and fairly difficult. This is because it was easy to add in cammas in the right place after learning how to from our previously assigned packet. To me it also seems like it was easy to write this essay because of my ability to have some prior knowledge of my main topic otherwise known as my purpose. This is because of the many other times Ginny has told me stories. On the other hand this essay was difficult because setting up the outline, which I have never done before. It was also difficult getting everything to flow so the essay did not appear to be “dialog driven/based”.

While the 9/11 Truth Movement’s (the official group of 9/11 conspiracy theorists) followers raise seemingly valid and challenging questions, it doesn’t take much to find the answers that shake the base of the conspiracy theorists’ foundation and render the

Laura Bobnak’s essay started out to be a lot shorter than what you would actually consider to be an essay. In here first essay she completed she lacked having a thesis, when you read her essay you didn’t have a clear understanding of what was going on. Lastly, her conclusion in the first essay did not wrap things up as well as they should have. Going on to the second draft the coherence of the essay grew greatly. Adding more detail, writing about how it really made her feel, and if she could go back and change her mind would she talk to the teacher about Jeff; the man who was cheating off of her, really allowed for more detail to the essay. Final draft of her essay she presents coherence, has a thesis statement, flows smoothly, and also includes

The article “Why So Many People Believe Conspiracy Theories” by Jeffrey Kluger was a rather eye-opening article to think about. Throughout the column, I found various statements that opened my mind to a higher knowledge as to why anyone would be on board to preach(natter about) crazy and sometimes, even extraordinary theories as to why some events have happened without a factual answer to back it up.

For decades now, scholars have been trying to analyze conspiracy theories and their history and influence on modern day society. Many academic scholars from various disciplines have dissected the concept of conspiracy theories, and the different perspectives are essential for someone that is interested in researching the theories themselves. Authors Cornel Zwierlein and Beatrice de Graaf published the article “Security and Conspiracy in Modern History,” which focuses on the history discipline of conspiracy theories. Brian L. Keeley, on the other hand, focuses on the philosophical discipline when discussing conspiracy theories in his article, “Of Conspiracy Theories.” When comparing evidence between the two articles, Graaf and Zwierlein do
