The 9/11 terrorist attack left many american citizens in a psychological trauma. During President Bush’s speech, he portrayed pathos to convey the effects of this horrifying experience that impacted each and every one of us. In the 9/11 Address to the Nation speech Bush mentioned, “The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge -- huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger,” that revealed a mental image of this horrific…

President George W. Bush's 9/11 address to America and the rest of the world is one of the most thought provoking and important speeches in history. On September 11, 2001, America was attacked by the Al-Qaeda which is a terrorist group in the middle east. They hijacked our planes and crashed two of them into the World Trade Center towers. Another crashed into the Pentagon and the fourth plane was headed to Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers tried to overtake the hijackers. This attack killed thousands of our U.S citizens and left fear in millions of people's hearts. Yet, President Bush’s purpose of the speech is to bring unity, a sense of peace, and at the same time a stern warning to the attackers of our great land.…
9/11, a day of death, destruction, and devastation. It's early morning, about 8:45 a.m., and American Airlines Flight 11 crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center. It has to be an accident. Why would an airplane purposefully run into the tower? Everyone is wondering if they know anyone affected, if the people inside and around the towers are okay, and how someone could be so careless and not focus on the plane enough to keep it away from the towers… up until the second plane tears down the south tower at 9:03 a.m.…
On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists executed attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. killing nearly 3,000 people. Later that day, President George W. Bush released a statement to the public describing the acts that occurred, the steps that were being taken to return communities to peace, and the steps the government was taking to retaliate against the people that committed this heinous act. President Bush explained the horrifying events, and then reassured the public that his administration would be unfazed by the attempt to disrupt the American way of life. Although this event was not something that he or the American people would soon forget, he stressed the importance of remaining positive…
The speech that George W. Bush gave after the attacks on September 11th, 2001 was not only comforting, like the speech given by Ronald Reagan after the Challenger Tragedy, or the impromptu speech given by Robert Kennedy after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., but also blazing with the clear message that America is strong, and that no matter what, we would overcome.…

I am going to talk about why is it an important holiday and why they celebrate. So I’m going to try to make a good grade on 9/11 because it is and special event.…
Exposition: Taking responsibility for one's actions, is the cornerstone (a step forward) to becoming an adult. It is a really upsetting thing, when an adult (let alone a president) doesn't take responsibility for their actions. At a kid's point of view (or a point of view of any), that is hypocrisy, hypocritical and makes a kid think. Those kids are thinking, 'Why do I have to take responsibility for my actions if they don't?". "Can I say something to someone and do the opposite?" (Which is the definition of hypocrisy). It is true, when you take responsibility for your actions, you can learn from them. Once you know you "screwed up" or made a mistake, you realize that what you did was wrong and are less likely not to do that mistake again.…
The 9/11 attacks on American soil resulted in nearly 13,000 casualties. The final toll equaled 2,977 deaths and nearly 10,000 injuries. On that day President Bush, due to security concerns, spent the day being shuttled around the nation. That evening, he addressed the citizens of the nation. President Bush’s address to the nation that evening encouraged Americans. He let the world know that we would not be stopped, but that the terrorists would be. Bush…
9/11/01 has shaped America into what it is today. The terrible tragedy that has made Americans realize how wonderful of a country that we are living into day. Some may disagree and say that the government is going down hill, and that the people in office are going to ruin this country, but they have nothing to complain about because the are allowed to speak their mind in the US, unlike in many other countries. America is blessed to have so many freedoms to be able to be yourself, and not have to live in fear. After interviewing two people from our community, Craig Johnson and Janine Knutson, it is easy to see that 9/11 has impacted their lives in an immense way. Both of them had same idea that they didn’t realize how vulnerable that they had been left to be. I had talked to both of them separately, and they had different reaction when about what happened, but came to the same…
Washington was a state of many white settlers and Indians. But George was one of the first black American settlers in what is now called Washington State. Life back then was tough, especially for a black man. Many laws would make him move or give up land. Today I am going to tell you all about George Washington Bush. About his background, adult life, and why he is important to Washington State.…
On September 11, 2001, nineteen men from an Islamic terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes, and flown them into the World Trade Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon and the other crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A total of 2,977 perished as a result of the attack. (“September 11, 2001: Background and Timeline of the Attacks”) President George Bush addressed the nation, “America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world and no one will keep that light from shining”. (“Text of Bush’s Address”) My interpretation of his speech is that we are a nation of hope and prosperity, and there are those who do not share in those same beliefs. As a nation, we need to continue to stand strong and be vigilant to those who threaten us. Following the aftermath of the attack, United States sent their military forces into Iraq and in pursuit of the man whom orchestrated the attack. Al-Qaeda Leader Bin Landen was responsible for the September 11th attacks and was killed in his compound in Pakistan on May 2,…
11. I always knew that it was an extremely sensitive topic to discuss. Every year at school, all my teachers would talk about how terrible and traumatizing that day was, how firefighters from the five boroughs were brave enough to go to the World Trade Center, and all of those kinds of comments. I practically have it memorized like a tape recorder. I get it.…
