Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Shaun Finley Global Studies 5/17/02 Final Project Attack On America On the day of the attack on the World Trade Center, I was in school. It was during my third period class, which was a study hall in Mrs. Skucas. Mr. Olson was the teacher during that period. This study hall was a pretty fun one because Mr. Olson would let us talk and let us throw things at each other. I was sitting next to Ben Dominski and Josh Luizzi when the television was turned on by a teacher that walked in. We watched the smoke bellow out of one of the towers and flames flare out. After about 5 minutes we watched the second plane hit one of the towers. It was a horrid sight. Other teachers walked into the room while we were watching it. Everyone was staring at the television like it was a midget juggling flaming torches. Their jaws dropped as they watch the extreme destruction of the twin towers. After this attack, there was much hatred towards the Arabs and Islamic religion. Many people blamed them for the attacks when it was terrorist groups such as Al Queda. Because of this attack several people started becoming racists against all Arabs. That makes many of the Arabs angry and they become racist against Americans. I felt some hatred towards them but not for a long time after I heard many of their complaints. I was racist against Arabs and Muslims for a while after the attack. There would always be headlines in the newspaper to remind me about September 11 and everything that happened that day. I felt really bad for the families of the people that were killed in the World Trade Center, the hijacked airplanes, and the pentagon. Now that the military is hunting down terrorist and imprisoning them I feel somewhat safer. I couldn?t believe that the government didn?t know about the attack before. They could have prevented it and saved thousands of lives that ended on September 11. I hope that there are no more terrorist attacks in this country. There are warnings out at the moment for more terrorists? attacks but if the government couldn?t stop the first one I doubt they will be able to stop another.
