Little did the passengers know as they boarded these planes that they would never live to see another day, as Muslim hijackers were onboard the flights with the intention of launching a terrorist attack on the country. Two of the four planes were deliberately crashed into the Twin Towers in Lower Manhattan, New York City, killing thousands of people and injuring hundreds more. A third plane was flown, once again deliberately, into the Pentagon – the headquarters of the US Department of Defence – killing everyone on board. The fourth plane was bound for the country’s capital city, Washington D.C., but the passengers managed to stop the hijackers from reaching this destination and instead crashed the aircraft into a field in Pennsylvania.

    Earning the position of a pilot, Louie’s main man, Russell Allen Phillips, nicknamed Phil, joined Louie’s crew and eventually named his plane “The Superman.” Although the years were long and great, a turning point devastated the airmen, concluding the time of The Superman. In addition to men shot down, new men replaced the injured airmen that had never flown with Phil or Louie before. Straight after this occurred, another tragic event took more lives away. On May 27, 1943, the crew of the new Green Hornet plane crashed and sank into the Pacific Ocean. Not only were lives lost in the crash, supplies disappeared, too. Louie, one survivor, saw Phil in bad shape sitting in a small raft once he resurfaced above the water and saw another raft in a different direction. He then had a decision to make: “Louie knew that he had to get Phil’s bleeding stopped, but if he went to him, the raft would be lost and all of them would perish” (131). Louis had to choose whether to save Phil, or to reach the raft and take it over to Phil instead, which could’ve threatened Phil’s life. This act is one of the many compassionate choices made by Louie. Trapped in a gigantic pit of water with no ways to attract help, sharks constantly surrounded the only survivors: Louie, Phil, and Mac. The crewmen only had a few close-to-useless supplies in the two rafts they managed to climb into. Phil, who suffered with a wound on his head from the crash landing, put Louie in command of the predicament since he was in no state to lead. Without the correct supplies, Louie did the best he could to keep their lives and sanity going. “‘If there was one thing left, he’d a given it to me,’ Phil once said of Louie” (154). Whilst Louie endured a body in bad shape, he wouldn't allow himself to let the other two crewmen die. Mac eventually became mentally inactive, which put Louie in a tough…

    According to Dads 4 Kids, “Children from mother-only families have less of an ability to delay gratification and poorer impulse control (that is, control over anger and sexual gratification.) These children also have a weaker sense of conscience or sense of right and wrong.” Throughout the book, we often think that a lot of Peekay's behavior is wrong but it seems most of it roots from his dysfunctional family. The lack of parental guidance in Peekay's life has taken a major effect on his life and actions.…

    By definition a hero is someone who shows great courage. Although this is true I believe a hero is much more than that. Heroes must poses and display bravery, selflessness, ability to act through fear and courage. Heroes do extraordinary things without hesitation, they know what needs to be done and they act on it. The thing that is most present in my memory today from 9/11 was the fear. Everyone was afraid, but no one around me knew how to act on this fear. Everyone knew something needed to be done but only the hero’s of 9/11 leaped into action. That brings me to two heroic men from 9/11.…

The first type of father he focuses is on is the modern father/good dad. The modern father attains nurturing, emotionally attuned and caring qualities. The author made a point that the modern father was recently discovered, and that fathers haven’t been that involved in their child’s lives until the early 21st century. Before the modern dad arose, a father was only the provider and nothing more. The second type of father that Furstenberg Jr describes is the bad dad. The bad dad is the type of father that denies paternity to his child. He choses to ignore is parental obligations and live…
