2115 Words9 Pages

What's on your mind?9-11 changed us all… God’s numbers are 7 and 14 and it has been 14 years since 9-11 happened. Yet, a rainbow appeared to mark the spot for us to take notice. Even though we don’t get the full scope of why it happened or who Bin Laden is or what is going to happen next. God is trying to make us think for ourselves…. See with your eyes and hear with your heart. Tuesday was 9-11 and by Thursday something was nagging me all day to get a Nostradamus Book of his prophecies which is something I never believed in and thought that no man would know the future. Didn’t even know what I was looking for and didn’t know anything about the man or his writings. Since it was after 9-11 they were all stolen out of the libraries and the top …show more content…

By Friday I found a second hand Bookstore by me with one book of Edgar Leoni’s “Nostradamus and His Prophecies”. He wrote this for his thesis at Harvard which is an unusual book for a Thesis but I wonder if he felt compelled to have to write it. This voice let me know that any preconceived ideas would hinder me so I would not read anything about Nostradamus at all. The next week I just knew that I was going to be able to decipher these and would write a book. It took only 3 years to almost figure out his codes to the quatrains which are 4 short lines called quatrains. Three different times I put everything up and felt like a quitter because you see, I have an 8th grade education with a GED to go with it, no known knowledge of how to write, so how can I do these things? Something would hound me to go look this up and there would be my answer to the question I couldn’t answer. I was 43 years old working as a hairdresser long hours and trying to accomplish something I wasn’t sure about. Then I finally get to his last Quatrain and it is the word “Oracles” that got me again. I found the Sibylline Oracles and really thought all I had to do was

  • 14 Years After 9-11 Summary

    183 Words  | 1 Pages

    Engelhardt's article, "14 years after 9-11, the War on Terror is Accomplishing Everything bin Laden Hoped it Would", relies heavily on anaphora. It begins with the phrase, "Fourteen years.." in every sentence and shifts to every paragraph by page 2. This phrase draws the reader in and drills the event in our minds, reminding us of all that happened. Because his sentences list, the anaphora helps break up each thought, therefore allowing ease of readability. Another use of repetition is the phrase "Don't you..", directed to our reaction as a nation.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of 9/11

    1112 Words  | 5 Pages

    In his “9/11 Address to the Nation” the 43rd President of the United States of America, George W. Bush assures that America will not be affected by the unruly and evil attacks carried out on September 11th, 2001. The President drafted this speech to resist the impending fear and questioning that American citizens around the country would soon be consumed by. Because 9/11 was the most impactful, yet devastating terrorist attack on the United States to date, Bush was not able to derive his thoughts from others’ ideas and speeches, thus he was forced to dig deep and extract the emotions and thoughts aroused by the “despicable acts.” Much like any great leader, President Bush wanted to stress the importance of instilling a sense of pride and resilience in the country and fellow countrymen and women to come together and remain as one. As the head of the “brightest beacon of freedom and opportunity” President George W. Bush declares that the United States of America will “remain strong” and appear unaffected as the country continues to build and rebound from the senseless acts of terrorism and hate.

    Prophets and prophecies abound in Western literature. From the ancient texts designed for people of all walks of life— such as Homer’s Odyssey and Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, to more modern works targeted to specific audiences— such as the Harry Potter and Gregor the Underlander series, authors have employed the literary device of prophecies to entice the reader to stay with the story. Instead of telling the reader outright what is going to happen, or how a situation will play out, the author offers a prophecy of some kind to the reader. Such prophecies are generally ambiguous, and often the reader is left confused as to what is actually going to happen. By using this technique, the author piques the interest of the reader yet allows for the

    “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.” George W. Bush delivered this speech on the night of the September 11 attacks. The shattered steel of the Twin Towers, once towering the New York City skyline, forever changed America and its response to terrorism. The largest foreign attack on U.S. soil appropriately gave reason to Americans to recoil in fear and lose trust in the future, but in reality, the country displayed the opposite reaction.
