One way we deal with tragedy is by showing pride in our country. For example, in the President's speech he did with a bullhorn he was dressed as a regular person to show he was just like them. Also during his speech when he would make a point the citizens there would cheer U.S.A. They would show that they would proud to be apart of this country. Another way we showed pride in our country was
we were honoring the victims of 9/11 and put up American flags. This is a way we showed pride in our country because everyone put a flag for people they didn’t even know.
Another way our community deals with tragedy is by making memorials. In the photo of the wall Virgil says “ No day shall erase you from the memory of time.” Behind this wall is a big grave with all the unidentified bodies from 9/11. The quote mean that no matter how many days or years pass the victims and people who tried to save lives will never be forgotten. Another memorial is the “Reflecting Absences.” These are two pools that were built where the Twin Towers once stood. On the side of these memorials are the names of the people who died that day. The architecture built these memorial to bring the community together.
To overcome tragedy our community makes memorials and shows pride in our country. We make memorials to bring our community together and remember an event or person who died. We show pride to remind ourselves that we can do anything together.
