Recommended: Narrative essay on fall of twin towers

HEROS One morning I woke up and went down stairs to eat some breakfast, when I heard the radio. It was 8:40 and the guy on the radio, Frank, was yelling, "The twin towers have fallen." I ran to go find my mom, but I could not find her anywhere. Then I looked outside and saw that she was in the old, brown, wooded rocking chair. I screamed really loud, "Mom the twin tower were hit by planes and are falling!" We ran inside to listen to Frank on the radio, but we heard nothing. "Mom, I think he went to look for cover, because the radio station it next to the twin towers," I said calmly. My mom and I jumped in the car and by that time it was 9:04. We went to where the twin towers were to see if we could help. Then out of no where

  • Analysis Of Thomas Beller's 'The Ashen Guy'

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine walking up on the scene of that fateful day of 9/11 knowing absolutely nothing apart from the talk around you, seeing the black smoke accumulating around the World Trade Centers, hearing the blare of sirens as the police cars accelerate by. Thomas Beller knew what all those things felt like. He was a simple pedestrian riding his bike going about his everyday life when he saw the black smoke, heard the sirens, and felt the whip of the police cars speeding by. Beller had no clue what was going on when he approached the scene, but in his personal narrative “The Ashen Guy” he explains his recollection of what he experienced on that historical day. Beller uses tones such as chaotic, nervous, confused, and worry to illustrate a picture of what it was like for him to approach the World Trade Center.

  • The Crucible: The 9/11 Attacks

    In 1692, one of the most inhumane tragedies occurred in the small village of Salem, Massachusetts. Now infamously recognized as the “Salem Witch Trials,” the trials were based on faulty accusations that charged others of being witches. These accusations resulted in a considerable amount of people being imprisoned and hanged, and it ended with 20 people being killed. 309 years later, four planes were hijacked by terrorists and were set to crash in four important government centers and buildings. Consequently, these attacks resulted in 2,966 deaths and it was the most severe attack ever on American soil. The terrorists were revealed to be Muslims, and that they supposedly did it in the name of “Allah”, which is the Arabic translation for God.

    My feet planted firm on the ground as I bit the inside of my cheeks to feel something. My pigtails and gray uniform forgotten along with my surroundings as I just watched death do his work. I didn’t feel like a kid anymore. The once peaceful scene turned into a mass of chaotic moments as soon as metal clashed on metal, and the remains of glass littered the floor of the street in front of the fenced gates of my school. My peers screamed loudly but the sound of the crash replayed in my head, but worst of all is that I saw the blond hair of the woman cover her face like a veil tainted red. My teacher ushered us to wait inside yet my mind was numb and my thoughts blurred as I heard the cries of the adults.

The plane crashed into the 80th floor of the World Trade Center. Many people were killed instantly, as a result of the crash.

    I was tired and hungry so I feel asleep on my mom’s lap. I woke up the next morning on August 29th at 7 a.m. and a woman who sat below my seat and I were talking about her recently deceased grandson. After five minutes of us talking we heard a sound that resembled a train. I slightly was excited because I had a weird obsession with natural disasters so to be able to experience one I was ready. The train sound started to get louder and suddenly holes started to form in the roof as if someone was poking it with a needle. Everyone started yelling that the roof was going to blow off so the national guards that were assigned to watch us guided us to the basement. While walking to the basement we passed a window and I looked outside to see things flying in the streets and heavy rain. This is when I realized that this is something more serious than a weather channel story. My family and I found our corner against one of the walls and we sat and talked until the storm

    September 11th, 2001 is a day that will forever live in infamy. On that dreadful day, “We the people” were told that a terrorist group, the Al Qaeda, planned and carried out multiple attacks against the United States. The most morbid of those attacks was the collapse of the World Trade Center towers one and two. However, there is some substantial evidence that raises concern whether or not what the public was told about how the Twin Towers collapsed is true or if it was fabricated for the governments benefit.

    True stories that get told so often that people mistakenly begin to mix up words eventually start to become a myth, not like a fairy tale myth but a myth no one really knows how it all started. That’s what 9/11 is. Everyone knows the basic outlines as to what happened on September 11, 2001, but no one is quite sure as to what really went on inside the four hijacked planes. With the help of cell phone contact from friends and relatives on the ground, the passengers figured out the hijackers did not want to negotiate but were rather on a suicide mission just like the ones that had crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
