Just recently, I recognized that I had so much to be thankful for. The Bombing of Hiroshima reminded me of September 11th in New York City . Like Hiroshima , thousands died and millions of innocent lives were touched by the horrific incident, even in the most indirect ways.

This book is also an eye opener for anyone that did not live through or old enough to remember the attacks discussed. I remember the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the bombing of the USS Cole, and the African embassy bombings but not the details. I think that is why I did further research to remember the attacks. Hopefully anyone that reads this will also do the extra research for more first accounts of the attacks to even better understand what was going on in the United States at the time before 9/11, to see how life has changed since and how far we have come with the “war on terrorism.” Terrorism is unfortunately a constant issue but with the law enforcement agencies hopefully working together they can prevent another attack from happening
Argument Essay (9/11) September 11, 2001 will be remembered in the hearts of Americans as one of the most tragic and unbelievable days ever experienced in the United States. The events of this day surely affected every citizen and likely affected every person in the world. Our fellow citizens, our way of life, and our very freedom we hold so dearly to us came under attack in a series of remarkable terrorist acts. The victims of this attack were everyday Americans. Secretaries, businessmen, mothers and fathers.
The dreaded day we all know as “9/11” was heart-rending and painful for many Americans all because of an inhumane and merciless act by a gang of jealous and loathing group of terrorists known as “Al-Queda”. On this day, 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 planes and intentionally flew two of them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. This act killed everyone on board, in the buildings and took down both towers. September 9, 2010, the proposed construction of building a “ground zero mosque” at park 51 has stirred controversy throughout the United States. Many Americans oppose the construction of the mosque next to ground zero because they see this as the terrorists gaining victory over the U.S. and building a mosque
Rhetorical Devices We all remember where we were when the attacks hit the United States. After September 11th’s devastation, things in the United States definitely changed. Our nation underwent a dramatic attack that would change our lives forever. Our government had to take certain precautions to ensure that we would remain safe in our country. When I think about that day I can remember everyone panic-stricken and worried.
Throughout Obama’s speech he uses unique styles of language, with words and phrases, in order to support and achieve his objective of informing citizens of the justice this nation accomplished. President Obama begins the speech with an emotional tone in order reminisce on the damage the 9/11 terrorist attack had on the entire United States. Obama uses imagery to bring about this emotion when he mentions, “The empty seat at the dinner table. Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father. Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace...” When this incident took place many people suffered from the deaths that took place, a pain that could be considered unbearable.
Many soldiers recall this helpless moment where they could see their lives flash before their eyes and feel the anger, helplessness, and pain of that moment. As a result of this first attack, in addition to torpedoes, many US battle ships were annihilated as well as US planes that attempted to stop the attack. Ironically, Washington was just beginning to receive the news of the attack at the very same time that the Japanese were negotiating
9/11 has had a huge impact on Americans directly. There were many men, women, and children who died. The amount of death has made many Americans sullen and it has affected the way that we view terrorism. The fact that we were hit in the center of our trade, where no one thought we were vulnerable, still unnerves Americans today. We were attacked when we least expected it, and what's more, the attack, to some, was successful.
