President Bush addressed the entire nation after the events that took place on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. In his speech, he addressed not only Congress but also the many thousands of Americans that were horrified and grief-stricken. President Bush spoke of the many men and women who died due to "evil, despicable acts of terror" and appealed to us using pathos. I would say that he provided a very decent and convincing argument in his speech. These events are still fresh in our minds, even 7 years later.
He walks you through the whole day and the events after. Then he goes through the process of the leading up to war. After that he talks about the Katrina disaster and then into the financial agenda. The two points that President Bush brings across in this book that really sets you back and think wow, how does one man take on that much responsibility is the chapter on 9/11 and the chapter that talks about the time leading up to the war. 9/11 was the worst disaster in this generations history, and the President takes you through step by step the day that it happened and the next several days after.
Many were killed, many loved ones had died and many were mentally moved. The Flag Raising at Iwo Jima taken by Joe Rosenthal helped those people who lost and helped Americans get through this war. Memorial based on this picture was made and it was put into more museums than one could count. It was not only a picture to show the real war, but it served as a propaganda to the USA. Pictures can win awards not wars, but that is exactly what this picture did for the U.S in 1945.
Yes, Osama Bin Laden and his accomplices made horrible choices that day, and many lost families and friends. Richard Picciotto shared his experience with the world to show what really happened inside that building on September 11th, 2001. He wanted to share his story so the reader knows the events of that dreadful day. In the long run Richard Picciotto will become a man who is proud to say he served the country during the 9/11 attack against the
He never really hesitated about what he said, he never second guessed, or rephrased what he said. I thought that both Obama and Romney both presented themselves very nice, the way it looked neither got nervous when it was their turn to speak. But all in all I think that Romney was more decisive and felt strongly about what he claimed that he will do for America. Personally I thought that Romney defended all of his thoughts and beliefs very well. For example when Jim Lehrer told Romney “
Seemingly the most significant event to my Dad, the Kennedy assassination consumed the majority of the conversation. In the days following Kennedy’s death, he expressed the country to be in a stand still. The mere thought of a president being assassinated seemed to be such an absurd idea that the nation was in shock. Church memorials and the transportation of the President’s body across the country seemed to consume the media for the next few weeks. However, as the United States was recovering from the devastation, they began to worry about their future under Lyndon Johnson.
Consequently to the 9/11 attacks, the United States Government made significant modifications to what is surely considered to be one of the Countries most significant and important documents that has stood almost in tacked for over 200 years. Accordingly, our generation has earned the distinction of experiencing one of this century’s most important controversy. Therefor the debate of weather or not the Bush administration and congresses actions were un-American will go on, for possibly ever. Though no reasonable person can dispute the need to give the authorities we task with keeping our precious children safe from extremists who want nothing more than to see us dead, the tools they need to do what is seemingly an impossible job. Therefore, our modern day Jefferson’s and Franklins are guaranteed to have notched their place in history for acting so quick as to pass such big and heavy bill faster than any legislation has ever been passed before.
Gopnik births a spark of influence and interest in readers’ minds by engaging them in such an overwhelmingly strong sense of emotion in the early lines of his article. Gopnik continues to ask how the police and other emergency responders and even students and professors must have felt hearing the phones of the recently deceased students and professors ring as the bodies were carried away and the destruction began to cease. One of the most thought provoking images that the article inserted into my mind during my time reading it was one of severe imagery and sorrow, and that is the image of all the different ringtones representing each newly dead victim’s personality, that can no longer influence, frustrate, impress, or cheer up anyone ever again. As a reader experiencing Gopnik’s article for the first time, this imagery and description of such a harrowing and sorrowful event implanted such a powerful thought in my mind that literally changed my views on gun control in the general public from the
By using many quotes, statistics, and descriptive details Clarke makes the writing complete. It’s as if he gives a little taste of everything, but that miniscule amount is sufficient to feed one’s imagination. Clarke really makes a homerun, his purpose to demonstrate how well Kennedy’s speech was and how/why it was successful, also to demonstrate the genuine president that Kennedy was; in which he clearly accomplishes. Personally never paid much attention to any president’s speech nor wanted to read it, but after reading “Why JFK’s Inaugural Succeeded”, the motivation and very enthusiasm to read Kennedy’s speech was unavoidable. Amazingly an author can really engage his/her audience, but that really takes a lot.
September 11, 2001 was a day so many people lost their loved ones which was such a sad day even till today. As the country is going through this great loss, a lot of Americans are also concerned about bioterrorism attack and everyone is talking about small pox being released to the population again. As we are all aware, small pox is a disease that that we have worked on all these years and it has been eradicated with the help of vaccinations here in the United States. But due to the terrorist attack, Americans are really concerned that the terrorist might want to re-infect the citizen of United States with small pox. The CDC organization is in charge of small pox vaccines and we are assuring the citizens that we have a plan to make sure that we distribute these vaccines as soon as possible as needed.
