World Trade Center Reflection

They take the worst situations and turn them into learning experiences that bring the country together. They prove that “Terrorism has led to devastation-and unity” (Quindlen 5), and they show it by joining together and helping each other out after a terrible act of violence. Quindlen uses Ethos in order to convey a specific emotion to the reader. Whether patriotism or peace, anybody who reads her work grasps a new understanding of how America is still around. After 9/11, American citizens were not complacent and did not whimper about and complain.

September 11, 2011, started like every normal day in New York City. People rushing to work, children going to school, and people taking a morning walk or jog. But no one knew that this day would turn into a horror film. A terrorist organization call al-Qaeda hijacked airplanes and hammered them into the World Trade Centers North and South Tower along with the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The September 11, 2001, attacks changed America forever (9/11 Attacks - 102 minutes That Changed America).

One of the most detrimental and traumatic events of United States history involves the terrorist attacks on the day of September 11th, in 2001. September 11th is a day countless Americans will never forget. Because our nation encountered such a horrific attack, it was up to our president during the time, President George W. Bush, to address the country. Many Americans suffered loss and fear; therefore, former President George Bush’s goal was to heal and comfort the nation by persuading them to see the light within the darkness. Bush’s speech was a success because he showed America’s togetherness and solidarity by creating an emotional connection to the audience; moreover, by responding appropriately to the attacks, he presented himself with a leadership and role no one else could take.

When people think of a time where all of America was under attack they think of 9/11. 9/11 was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in American history. After this deadly attack, President George W. Bush went on national television to talk to the shaken American population. In his speech, he addressed how this issue was to be dealt and his condolences for the lives lost. President Bush used multiple effective ways including ethos, pathos, and logos to comfort and inform his people in his 9/11 speech.

Many people can look back and remember September 9th, 2001, like it was yesterday. This day will be forever remembered in America’s History. This is the day the world seemed as it stood still. On 9/11, America experienced a major terrorist attack, which hijacked planes were crashed into the World Trade Centers in New York City, crashed into the Pentagon in the District of Columbia, and had a plane crash into the fields of Pennsylvania.

While 9/11 was a very important moment in the lives of many Americans, not many realize the direct impact this tragedy has had on their lives, and their country. For one, 9/11 greatly changed America’s involvement in wars. It also completely changed the way airport security works in America. Finally, 9/11 caused the American government to begin collecting significantly more data from its citizens, something which has been quite unpopular with the American populace. No matter how you look at it, 9/11 has left a permanent mark on America.

On September 11th, a tragedy happened when almost 3500 people died from a terrorist attack. One thing that did not change after this was the way America held itself together. Something devastating had happened but they still managed to push through it and come out strong. As well, the support that American's and other places around the world gave each other are still strong today. When someone is in need, we all come together no matter where they are in the world, this never changes. Lastly, people did not stop using airplanes because of this attack. They still continued to use airplanes to travel around

That day dramatically changed our view on foreign policy, and caused us to get involved in many ongoing wars with Middle Eastern countries. Additionally, the government changed its view on immigration. Due to the fear of another attack by foreign people, the “war on immigration” came about and caused a surge of American people to believe that immigrants should be deported. Lastly, security at airports, malls, and almost every public venue was entirely redesigned for our protection, but what the government believes is good for the people, isn’t always so great after all. Most people believe that America grew back stronger because of the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, but it has only brought us away from the importance of simplicity in our daily

September 11th, 2001 have affected and changed many Americans. After the “terrorist” (The reason why I have put terrorist in quotes because I believe that the 9/11 was an inside

“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified.” This quote was said by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The 9-11 attacks will be known forever because of the tragic things that people had to go through. They will be remembered for our entire lives and many more.

When the citizens of the United States went to bed on September 10th, 2001 they had no idea that the events the next day would change their lives in one way or another for the rest of their lives. September 11th began just like any other day but by the end of the day, almost 3,000 people died in four separate deliberate terrorist attacks against the United States. The events on September 11th had shocked the world, caused billions of dollars in damages and made Americans question their sense of security. The attacks on September 11th, conducted by the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda, was an important event in United States history because it was the deadliest and biggest terrorist attack on American soil and caused extensive death and destruction

On September 11, 2001 Flight Two planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The planes where hijacked by 19 Al Qaeda terrorists that brought along their weapons , to many Americans the mention of 9/11 can be horrifying with the memories that they might have experienced that day with the site of the twin towers being brought down. Because of the hijacked planes, it destroyed many lives as well as the families that lost someone in that tragedy. The United States has changed since September 11th, 2001 because after new changes in airport security was made, deportation rose, and immigration decreased.

No one expected the attack on 9/11, so when it hit, the United States was utterly unprepared. The World Trade Center buildings were hit by hijacked American planes. Both towers with hundreds of people collapsed, killing many American citizens. 9/11 was a tragic day in history. It is a day Americans have never forgotten.

Imagine losing billions of dollars in seconds. That’s what happened to the people of New York on the day of the terrorist attack. Upsetting many people which lead to many changes. 9/11 set an example for us, and how to prevent this in the future from happening to our next generation. Undoubtedly, American history is our future for tomorrow, so we have made changes.

Many people lost family and friends on September 11, for a very devastating reason. 2,977 lives were lost along with many injuries because of these attacks. The attacks left many in shock, leaving many with fear to move forward after experiencing, witnessing, and hearing about the events that had taken place (September 11). Many lost their parents, their soulmates, and the country lost the people who helped to fight for us on this day. The firefighters, police, and military all risked their lives to help the people in trouble. A text says, “Equally alarming, more than 335,000 people lost their jobs in tourism between 2001 and 2002, according to a case study by Finland’s Centria University of Applied Sciences” (DePietro). This evidence shows that many people from other countries or different parts of the United States that usually visited popular parts, stopped because of the attacks. Many people that experienced the attack had just as bad effects on their lives as the ones that were lost. In the book, “Escape From The Towers” the author, Andra Abramson states, “At 8:46 a.m., Greg Trevor finished a phone call. He stood up to stretch his legs. At that moment, there was a huge crash. American Airlines Flight 11 slammed into Gregs building. The plane hit the North Tower about 20 floors above Greg's office. Greg remembers hearing a loud noise. Then he
