It was a stunning, and amazing September 11th in the dazzling city in Manhattan. I just woke up remembering my sister, Mia, who got lost during the dreadful time of 9’11. Today has indicated 2 years since she has been lost. We don’t know if she’s or if she’s dead. I went to change clothes and came downstairs. My mom was outside running some errands and my dad was sitting down with a newspaper in his hands. “ Chantel it has been two years since your sister has been lost since 9’11.” “ I know. I still miss her very much” As I was feasting on my cereal , the phone started ringing. I quickly ran to the phone. The caller was an anonymous user.

  • September 11: The Attacks Of 9/11

    749 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

Post 9/11, she grew up in a household where she had no opinion of her own because of what she was taught and never learns about other religions and their beliefs, while she is living in a society influenced by western culture. Her westernized peers pressure her into doing more research on her religion; she begins to question the purity and righteousness of her religion. She has to choose between her religion and her dream which is to become a doctor. She chooses her religion; she realizes that she will go to all costs to protect the laws set down

    I read about it in the paper, in the subway, on my way to work. It was on a Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Both of the Twin Towers in New York had been struck down by two airplanes with passengers inside. Civilians, including me, were filled with panic and suspicion as they wondered if their country was under a terrorist attack. Everyone else in the subway was no stranger to the crisis going on this exact second since they all had their heads buried in their newspaper. I reread every line on the article carefully, trying to make sure that none of this was a hoax in anyway.

  • Family Life In Eric Walters's We All Fall Down

    The topic which I want to introduce is about the Family life. I am interested in this topic because of the book We All Fall Down which is written by Eric Walters, is based on the true event which happened on September 11, 2001. I think the author chose a very good topic, the 11/09/2001 terrorists attack. Which made this book very interesting and exciting. The author starts his book with a thoughtful note “For those who perished, and those who went on” I found this quote very touching because it’s summarizes the event which happened during the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It seems for me that Eric Walters actually was there, and had written a story on the trues event. We All Fall down is a book about Will and his father trying
