The year I was born The year I was born was a memorable year in American history. The year 2001 was the disaster full day of September 11. This was the terrorist attack on the twin towers also known as the World Trade Center. They also attacked the pentagon.…
Dreadful and nauseating are two reactions I would use to describe the story “What It Felt Like to Be Inside the World Trade Center.” This paragraph will be about my reactions to the horrifying memory of someone who survived 9/11. In the morning, Ashton was on her way up to work in the World Trade Center, when she felt a sudden jolt.…
The idea of a narrative is to tell a story, the events occurring on the day of September 11, 2001 will provide an opportunity to relay my feelings, moving beyond the initial pure and basic anger at those responsible for such a desperate act. The image shows two emergency responders in the cloud of debris left by the collapse of the Trade Centers and what drew me to this picture is what they must have been talking about. The questions and issues I initially considered included: the loss of life; the tremendous devastation; and are there more survivors, where these possibilities could only be confirmed by talking to the individuals in the picture. Instead, I decided that the picture will be used as a metaphor to relay my awareness of the incident,…

Early in the morning of september 9, 2001, it acted like it was a normal day. I had an interview for a job at the twin towers! As i walked up to the giant tower i said “what an amazing view.” I went up to the elevator, there were a lot of people in there. I had to get to the 71 floor, as we were coming up to the 71 first floor.…
Today was a day that I will never be able to get out of my memory, no matter how hard I try. It will always come back one way or another. I am not happy with what I saw but as a P.F.C. in the U.S. Army, I am supposed to be trained to have a thick brain with these types of environments. Even after witnessing all the horrors in the trenches of WW1, we were all in a huge state of shock. The things that were done to these people are so inhumane that it took a while for most of us to process what was going on and what had happened to these innocent people.…
In No Fireman at Ground Zero This 9/11, Michael Burke brings forth the issue of fireman and first responders no longer being honored at ground zero on 9/11.

These most honorable service man deserve to be recognized for their efforts they displayed on 9/11. To bring across the message writing styles such as descriptive sentences, diction, pathos, and ethos are used.…

This year, 2016, we went across the pond to England and France, in Europe.…

For the past four years of my life, I’ve been trying to enjoy my life as much as possible. You see, I lived a life similar to most kids. I went to school, I played with my friends, I complained about my mom’s cooking. However, in life, everyone has that one-day that changes you. Four years ago, my life changed.…
Fear of Flying As I walked through the terminal I feel the dread from buying the plane ticket loom on my shoulders. I wanted to turn back and run. My anxiety builds up as the line slowly creeps forwards to the beginning of the corridor. As I near, I see people getting on the plane.…
