Block 3/4 ONLY:
After we spent some time in class discussing September 11, 2001 and its effects, did you spend any time this past weekend thinking or talking about it? Use this post as a chance to share your thoughts about the actual event or post questions you may have about it.
While I am looking for quality over quantity, I would appreciate a minimum of a FEW well-written sentences.
As always, return to comment on your classmates' posts and make sure you post by Friday morning! Happy Blogging.
This weekend i did think about the destruction of the twin towers.I felt guilty that 9 years ago at 8:30 thousands of people were dying when at 8:30 this year i was on my computer playing a game. I am not related to anyone who died in the twin towers but i still think that the day 9/11 should honor all the good people who died that day.
ReplyDeleteI watched a tv show and realized that all of the consperacy theorists are insulting the people who died by trying to come up with stories about 911. people think phone calls are faked, but all the people who know the person that made a call are angry.
ReplyDeleteWendy, I had the same thought as you, at 8:30 am this 9/11 I was taking a long bike ride- but I think that the people who died that day would not want you or I to feel bad about enjoying our freedom or our lives. Don't feel guilty, just thankful! See you at school. Mrs.Nadell
ReplyDeleteOver the weekend I thought about 9/11 and I talked about it with my mom. She told me that one of her co-workers was in the world trade center when the incident took place. All the rescuers, firemen, and police officers were telling them to stay put and wait. The co-worker didn't listen. He grabbed a few of his friends and made it down and out of the building just 5 minutes before the whole building collapsed. I'm just wondering that why would people (like the ones on the airplane) use their own lives to kill many more people.
ReplyDeleteyes i was talking about it with my friends all weekend we had a big discusion about it. It is one of the worst things that has happend during my life time. thousands of people ide because of this tragety.
ReplyDeleteOver the week end I didn't really talk about 9/11. I didn't even notice that it was 9/11 until late in the day. I feel kind of bad for not actually thinking and honoring those people who died, and for those muslim and others who got blamed for what they didn't even know was going to happen. I hope those who have members who died in 9/11 keep strong and don't give up against terroism.Raman Kaur
ReplyDeleteI actually spent my weekend playing soccer, hanging out with friends, and having fun. Now that I'm looking back on it I feel guilty that I get to enjoy the freedom of everyday life while others can't. I felt guilty for not stopping to think about it because hundreds of other families were mourning the loss of loved ones from that horrible day. Did anyone find out who actually bombed the towers? I agree with one of the articles we read, that the tragedy just made us stronger. My new question is: Will this event be repeated?

I am sorry I did not think about 9/11/01 this weekend. Truthfully, if my parents reminded me about it I would have thought about what happened. I did not even think about it because my family went on a small vacation and we were busy having a good time. It wasn't until Monday that I realized that 9/11/01 was this weekend.

ReplyDeleteWell I talked about it with my mom over the weekend because I was curious what was going on in Washington when the 9/11 hit because I was so little and We just moved out to washington.
My cousin Brandon is in the military working for our country and I always worry that I am not going to see him again. When we dicussed what happened in class I felt really sad about what happened to those men and women because they didn't know what was coming. They risked their lives to make sure no one else got hurt even if they didn't know they were at risk. It made me sorda tear up because it's just painful to think that one day your loved ones could be their and then the next minute you don't have them anymore.
I talked bout 9/11 with my mom. we even watched a video about it. i was torn apart when i found out that the police were not letting people out of the building and blocking exits. i started crying when the video showed the people falling. i feel so bad for all the people trapped. i do not believe the terrorists had a reason to do that but for entertainment and i get worried every year that they will come back.

I get so depressed when I see the videos of 9/11. I toar me up inside when I heard that police were blocking people and trapping them inside. I cry when I see the people jumping out of the buildings. I cant believe people would do something as horrible as flying a plane into a building full of people. Those people had familys. :’(

ReplyDeleteOver the weekend i thought about 9/11 a lot because at the liberty game we had a moment of silence. At my game football game on 9/11 my coach had us put the american flag on our helmets. For that moment of silence and almost half the game i was thinking about what happened and thinking about the families and how they were effected by this.
ReplyDeleteover the weekend i thought about 9/11 and how many people died. i was thinking about the families that had a loved one and how the twin towers had collasped. also i thought about all the people that had lost there jobs and the people that sacrafists there lives so they wouldn't kill others. i was also thinking about the terrostists and how they make there country feel. people in there country had different veiws on the attack. i jhust hope that a tragedy like this won't happen again.

I was at eastside baby corner where I go for community service hours. They get donations of clothes for kids on Saturday. Then they put a weeks worth of clothes in a bag which social workers pick up and deliver to families in need. I was working on 9/11 when four huge trucks with trailers came. The people where from a church who decided to have a huge fundraiser for 9/11. They donated at least 50 bags full of toys, games, school supplies, diapers, baby food and blanket for babies. I was amazed by how much stuff they got. It took everybody working that day around an hour just to store all the bags, not to mention how long it's going to take to sort through all those bags.

My dad and i talked a little bit about this. he told me that this was a tragedy and we both wondered why someone would want to do this. It gets me frustrated that those terrorists out there think they can just attack where they want and not even think about who is really suffereing and who they are killing. i thought about the people that died and the families that lost a member and the people brave enough to go help the people inside and losing there life in the process.This is something i hope will never happen again.

ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about 9/11 and what a sad day it was. I just wonder why those muslims had to fly into the twin towers. I know that all muslims werent for it but its still really sad that they had to kill all of those people. when I heard those stories in class i knew they would stick with me for the rest of my life. I wish that they didnt have to do that and just let us be.
My thoughts after listening to the radio brodcast really made my think. I thought about the people in the building, the workers, the fire fifghters and the family members who lost and important part of their life. Even though my family didnt do anything that day i still apriciate all the people who fight for america in Iraq.
ReplyDeleteover the weekend i did think about when i realized that my football game was on 9/11 i was struck. i thought about how so many people lost there lives for what reason and there were probly people in some other country celebrating the anneversery at the same time we morn the anneversery. - noah smith
ReplyDeleteOver the past weekend I only thought about 9/11 for a couple of times. I thought about the airplaines crashing into the twin towers and then they would collasped into the ground.I wonder that this would affect alout of other people jobs to. But maby this would help us prepare for something like this.
ReplyDeleteOn 9/11 I remembered and I announced it to my family as we were in the car. My dad shared a really sad story about a little girl on that flight that was going to disneyworld for the first time. After that I was kind of depressed thinking about all the lives that were lost...

agreeing whith what Jordan R. said I sepent my weekend haveing fun, not eving realizing what had happened on that tragic day. 9\11 did not knock us to our knees but only made us stronger. After reading those Articles in class I researched more about it and found some amazing tales. I hope that History does not repeat itself and that America will continue to grow.

Over the weekend, I thought about 9/11 not that much. I talked to my parents and watched a tv show about 9/11 conspiracy things or something, but still,I realized that today, many families who have lost a family member then are mourning to this day, so I just wondered why do people do things like what happened on that dark day.
ReplyDeleteOver The weekend the thought of 9/11 would pop into my mind occaisonally. watching the slide show and listening to the radio made me feel very sad. The thought of all those people dying is horrific. i am very grateful no one i knew andwas close to died in this horrible incident.

On the anniversary of the 9/11 attack I looked back and thought about the men and women that saved others that were dying. The plane that crashed in Pennsylvania I think was the most incredible because the people on that plane came together to over rule the highjackers. It's really hard to talk to people you don't know and have a plan alltogether knowing that after you do this you will die. This day was the most horrid day in the US and it will never be forgotten because of the mass of destruction.
