“On walls and windows and bins and cars all around the rubble pile, New Yorkers have left messages in the grainy dust. They are expressions of anger, love, despair, and patriotism, a form of contemporary poetry that will last not nearly as long as the memories” (Time Wire Reports, 2001).

The attack was about the World Trade Center collapsing to the ground, the Pentagon under attacked, and an attempting to destroy the White House. I interviewed my mom and she says this attack had enough coverage all over the local news and she watched the attack at 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…

Throughout the semester we have learned about all the different ways that the welfare can provide assistance to families who are in need. Nevertheless, we have also learned and saw in various ways, the struggles and obstacles families face in order to get what they need to get back up on their feet. George Tillman and John Q are two men who prove that struggling to get what you need from the welfare system is worth the success in the end. However, I personally do not believe people should…

Imagine flying a plane in complete darkness, thinking that you’re flying in one direction but you’re instead flying in a different direction. Flash Airlines Flight 604 was a Boeing 737 charter plane that crashed minutes after taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh Airport, killing all one hundred and forty-eight people onboard.
