I was doing my creative writing (we are homeschooled) My eldest brother, Steven called and told us. We thought it was some sick joke.... He told us to turn on the t.v. it didn't matter which channel. We turned it on just as they showed the 2nd tower falling. It was like I didn't have control over my body, all i could do was cry.We sat there watching those horrible images over & over, for what seemed like an eternity.I look through my diary and read what i wrote,
"Who would do this, who could be so terrible? though it has been two days, I still can't believe it. I keep asking myself, Why? They are clearing the rubble. I know it will take months, but I think of all the missing and the dead."
I wonder, We say we are proud of our freedom and will stand up for it. How far will we go ? Is the answer war? People say "Yes" but I can't help but wonder.
