To begin with, the leader of Al Qaudea, Osama Bin Laden, sent terrorists to bomb the Twin Towers to try and tear our nation apart, but all he did was make us closer and even more powerful. He sent his people to take flying lessons in Florida in order to fly the plane into the towers and the Pentagon. Their plan was to bomb the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and White House, but they failed to complete their mission. Instead they only succeeded in the Twin Tower destruction, because the Pentagon was still standing, and the last plane crashed in a field in Pensylvannia.
But there is also a darker side to it, even darker than the crime itself. The Cooper theft led to a new world where hijacking is possible. In just a few short years, taking control of airplanes filled with hostages became too regular an occurrence.

Yasunari Kawabata was born on June 14 1899 in Osaka Japan and later dies by way of suicide in April of 1972 at the age of 72. It’s said that the reasoning for his suicide was because just about everyone that madder to him whether it be his family or his close friends had died and its theorized that a lot of the solemnness in which he writes about is from his very sad history of death of his love ones. His writing is passionate and intense in the area of deep intellectual connection and I have really enjoyed the challenge of researching this understated author. In 1968 Yasunari Kawabata won the Nobel Prize in literature it was a very well deserved award and he gave a wonderful speech. In yasunari kawabata’s writing he really doesn’t shy away from melodramatic plots or grotesque people or characters, but at the same time he used an intensely compact and complex almost lyrical prose to call attention to extreme moments of beauty in everyone’s day to day life emotionally and physically.
