Upon the bombing of the two cities, the Japanese citizens that lived near the explosion had been through a devastating and horrifying experience. These experiences are told by John Hersey in his book “Hiroshima”, where he interviews survivors from the bombing. One of the survivors he interviewed was named Miss Tashinki Sasaki; she worked as a clerk in the personnel department of the East Asia Tin Works during the crisis. When the blinding flash from the bomb had taken place, she was about to talk to the female worker on her right but had become paralyzed with fear from the light. Within seconds the ceiling collapsed along with a bookshelf that fell on Miss Sasaki, leaving her unconscious for three hours.
Alyssa Tullis Professor Carole Carroll English 1301 1 October 2012 9/11: God is always there. September 11, 2001, the day America’s worst fear came to life. On this tragic day the World Trade Center and the Pentagon fell to ashes at the hands of terrorists. Witnessing the acts of terror in my own country really changed my perspective on life and I now have a different point of view on how I see the world and the people in it. On the fateful day of September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda coordinated four suicide attacks on the United States in the New York and Washington D.C areas.
I decided to become a nurse. The field of science never really fascinated me. I got through it while I was going to school, but the real reason I became a nurse was to heal people in a caring way. My husband and I both work in a very demand field. We work long hours and don’t talk as much as we would like.
The bombing of Dresden in World War II was one of the destructive events in history, killing more than 30,000 people. Kurt Vonnecut was an American soldier who experienced this first handed when he was captured and held at this city. As result of this event, he wrote the anti war novel Slaugtherhouse-Five or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance With Death, where the main character, Billy, a American soldier who was also captured and experienced the bombing of Dresden. In the book, Vonnecut condemns war by using black humor, a genre of satire that make fun of serious, to describes events such as death and being captured in the war to shows stupidity and illogicalness of war. Vonnecut first points out the meaningless of the war by describing events around Roland
My mother had a best friend whose husband was killed in the attacks; apparently he was trapped in the first tower when it collapsed. So, we were visiting that family a lot, and comforting them whenever we could. But what really hit me hard was that this was just one family. After the attacks that day, hundreds and hundreds of people lost loved ones to one of the most brutal and barbaric attacks in human history. I was only in the 2nd grade at the time when the attacks happened, but I still knew how awful it would be to come home from school and find out that one of your parents were killed in a mass murder.
Let me go find out what happened. Well, a suicide car bomber just went into the front gate and its estimated that over 200 Marines may be killed! This is a very sad scene! I just phoned my friend Ron and informed of the horrific scene. He is in shock and disbelief.
September 11th 2001, two hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City and a third crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Thousands of people were killed in these crashes and since then we have continued to our fight against terror, every year remembering those men, women, and children who lost their lives in those fatal crashes that fateful September day. In their respective speeches, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair both addressed the tragedy. In his speech to Congress, President Bush uses appeal to pathos, making it feel like he is truly with us. “Great harm has been done to us.” This simple statement used by Bush shows all of the United States that not only is the President here to lead us, but he is also human. He continues to speak in a mournful tone throughout the speech.
We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children. “- George Bush)[pic] ---*--- September 11, 2001 has been the darkest day in the life of every American. On that day, the radical Muslim group Al Qaeda led a series of suicide attacks that demolished American Trade Center, damaged Pentagon, destroyed the hijacked planes, and killed thousands of innocent Americans in the process. Such an unprecedented attack of this magnitude on the unprepared nation shook the confidence of the people, impaired their sense of security and changed their view of the world around them.
We know from experience that many of the mentally ill, when not treated, pose a danger to themselves or others. Examples of this danger to others can be seen in the following mentally-ill individuals: Andrew Goldstein, the untreated schizophrenic man who pushed Kendra to her death in 1999; John Patrick Bedell who opened fire at the entrance of the Pentagon wounding several officers, before he was killed by returning gunfire; Seung Hui Cho, the gunman responsible for the deaths of 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech (Jenkins
