As daylight broke, I awoke to the sound of my ringing phone. It was the boss. I knew so because of the specific ring tone in case he ever needed to call me. The sun irritated my eyes, I felt more tired than ever. I answered the phone. “Morning sir,” I said tiredly, “What’s the urgency, today is my day off of work,” “I’m very well aware of that,” the boss said in a strict manner, “ I need you to be at work by ten thirty sharp, it’s an emergency,” “Yes sir,” I said. I was about to hang up, but he added something else. “Make sure absolutely no one follows you,” he said. Ten thirty meant I had two hours to cook breakfast, eat breakfast, dress up in my work clothes, tidy up my room, and drive to work. I only hoped that I would have enough time. To start off, I went to make breakfast for myself. To my surprise, my brother, Rick had already been up and cooking pancakes. …show more content…
“Anyways, thanks for cooking up breakfast Rick, I really appreciate it,” He didn’t respond. He had already started eating. I decided to join him. I finished breakfast, so I went to my room and got dressed in my everyday work clothes, cleaned up my room, got my car, and left my house. I had arrived. I checked my watch and realized I was on time. I walked into the boss’ office to find out what the big emergency was. I had finally arrived. The boss was there as I expected, but his face showed a worried feeling, which made me nervous. The boss noticed me and looked a Little less
The night was tempestuous and my emotions were subtle, like the flame upon a torch. They blew out at the same time that my sense of tranquility dispersed, as if the winds had simply come and gone. The shrill scream of a young girl ricocheted off the walls and for a few brief seconds, it was the only sound that I could hear. It was then that the waves of turmoil commenced to crash upon me. It seemed as though every last one of my senses were succumbed to disperse from my reach completely. As everything blurred, I could just barely make out the slam of a door from somewhere alongside me and soon, the only thing that was left in its place was an ominous silence.
The attacks that occurred on 9/11 took place on September 11th, 2001. In this devastating event, four different attacks had taken place. Each of the attacks were carried out by terrorists. The group responsible for the attack was Al-Qaeda, a militant Islamist organization that is known to be global in present day. The group itself has a network consisting of a Sunni Muslim movement that aims to make global Jihad happen. Furthermore, a stateless, multinational army that is ready to move at any given time. This terrorist group focuses on attacking non-Sunni Muslims, those who are not Muslim, and individuals who the group deems to be kafir. Ever since the late 1980s, Al-Qaeda has been wreaking havoc all around the world. The leader of the group once being Osama bin Laden. Three planes were bound for New York City while another plane headed towards Washington, D.C. which was supposed to take out the U.S. Capitol. Two of the airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center. One plane hitting the North Tower and the other hitting the South Tower. The third plane had crashed into the Pentagon taking out the western side of the building. The last and final plane was focused solely on taking out the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. but failed due to passengers of the plane coming hijacking it from the hijackers. The passengers attempted to take out the hijackers but sadly failed, crashing it into a field in Pennsylvania. Throughout the content of this paper, we will be focusing on the role of media when it comes to 9/11; more specifically: how the media's coverage of 9/11 manipulated our feelings towards 9/11, how it affected Islamophobia in America, and the lasting effects of 9/11.
¨Good morning, I made some eggs and put them in the stove if you want some.¨ Thomas said.
It's Nine Eleven, and the sun is just starting to come up. Everyone in town are at the Twin Towers. The planes just crashed into the buildings, and now the Twin Towers are on fire. The people from the fire station aren't for sure if they can put it out. The fire was pretty big. There were pieces of the building flying everywhere, and it was on fire!
On September 11, 2001, a terrible disaster struck the United States. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, New York.

The attack on September 11th was one of the most devastating events this country has ever experienced.
Today I have to wake up at 3:30 am in order to be at the factory by 4am. Then I found out that my mother had a cold over night and I have to look after her and do all the washing, cooking and cleaning. By the time I got to the factory it was 4:30. And when Mr. Bob sa...
Tae POV Raindrops fall on my already wet hair, my body is shivering from the cold wind, and I'm late for class. Can it get any worse? I stayed up the whole night to find some information about Jihyun, not that I found anything important. She lives with her parents and her big brother here in Seoul and the family owns quite a big company.
I woke up really early in the morning, I was frustrated and I couldn’t do anything, because it was a weekend, and I didn’t get enough sleep. I was worried about the science test grade, and I got paranoid moreover it was killing me. Thinking about it was really hard, so I started making a plan. How can I get in the school, go to the principal’s office, shut down the cameras, and change my grades. Well that will take a lot of thinking and sneaky moves, because I am really good at doing that.
My eyes were welcomed by the sour, dull color of grey on an early morning. I opened my eyes and just started seeing things clearly when I realized it was 11:30 A.M.! So much for that early morning... What was I going to do? I had a doctor's appointment at 9:00, I was supposed to start work at 6:30, and I had a car appointment at 11:00!
It was a cold, dark morning when the phone rang. It was boisterously loud and the clock read six o'clock. The deafening noise jolted us again, and there was only one way to make it stop. Chris picked up the phone and in a tired, drowsy voice, answered, "Hello."
A piercing sound grew louder as I slowly gained consciousness. Realising where it was coming from, I glanced at the stupid phone responsible for awakening me. Who the hell was phoning me at this time in the morning? Picking up the ringing object, I glanced at the clock hanging on the cream wall. 8:40am. Shit, I was late. Work started at 9am. I sighed. Whoever was making me even later better have a damn good reason.
I wake up to the sound of my alarm ringing, only this time I'm not in my comfortable bed. My eyes are encrusted shut. I guide them open with my fingers, only to have the bright burning sensation from the sun shining in my eyes. Normally a very irritating feeling, but quickly forgotten when I remember we are on the adventure of all adventures. So we thought.
It was the only time in my life I was happy to hear the alarm clock go off. Of course I was already awake for two hours before it actually went off, but I waited anyway. I jumped out of...
“Whatever,” I continued “I’m late for class. Forget about the plans going to be library at lunch” getting out of my car and slamming the door so I could hear the bleep noise to lock.
“"I was sitting at my desk in my cubicle, and suddenly she was standing over me screaming, 'What the hell is this crap? And why is it so late?' I tried to say I thought I'd done exactly what she asked for, but she cut me off and yelled about how incompetent I was"” (pg. 118-142).
