Talia al Ghul

If I were to compare myself to someone from a book, movie, or television show I would compare myself to someone who looks like me, acts like me, has close life experiences to me. That is why I chose Captain America from the movie Captain America the First Avenger. The first point I would like to make is that I look like Capitan America. We both have blonde hair and are both extremely muscular. I get told a lot that I look like Captain America. I will be walking around in alamance crossing or in…

On September 11, 2001, there was chaos in the streets of New York; screams could be heard for miles as dust and debris flooded the air. The view from above showed towers falling from the sky, an event unlike anyone has seen since. More than two thousand people lost their lives that day in Lower Manhattan, as families were broken. This is what terrorism is, it’s meant to strike fear and disrupt everyday life. It’s meant to attack the innocent without any justified reason. Sociologists would view…

The Hostages The choice of a rescue mission seemed necessary in releasing the American hostages from Iranian students.

the hospital after giving birth to my brother. I previously never knew that the Twin Towers were alive or gone today until I found out it’s gone now. How the attack happened was that several Islamic extremists or a group of terrorists called the “Al Qaeda” hijacked 4 planes and two of them hit the Twin Towers directly from the top and were both set on fire. Later on both Twin Towers completely collapse to form a massacre where people started falling off the building and several people burning…

John Brown is not a terrorist because he was just trying to do the right thing. He was trying to get the message out that do whatever it takes to help somebody that is getting whipped and treated like a dog. So the question is would you kill 5 settlers in Pottawatomie Creek? I would kill 5 settlers that were treating slaves like they were worthless. The world would define terrorism as if it was a suicide bomber because it is just a part of the law. When I say this I mean that any country has…
