Bedroom Observation

393 Words2 Pages

I was twelve at the time when the incident occurred, and on my way from my recent trip to visit my mother and family. I had to wait to be escorted to the entrance to my airplane by a flight attendant by the same flight I’m taking to return back to the United States. When it was time to go through the series of security checkups that had been performed, I was in an unstable emotional state. As I patiently waited for the flight attendant, I allowed my eyes to wander around the airport. Then, I noticed two young men were struggling with an elderly lady in the wheelchair. I inched nearby little by little and caught on their conversation. The two young men were two security guards, and they found some bag-like texture when lightly searching the

    Let’s look at what happen post 9/11. After it’s devastation, the Department of Homeland Security was created to assist in fighting the “war” against terrorism.

    Terrorists shattered America's sense of safety. The federal government created Transportation Security Administration (TSA), shortly after the attacks. Before September 11, 2001, airports did not have an ongoing system in place to make sure that the flight was going to be safe. The security inside of the airplane has also changed to prevent hijack planes. From 9/11 forward the cockpit will remain locked for the entire flight with only the pilots in there.

The other passengers scroll on by, witnessing the Muslim-mammal zoo exhibit. I’m sure it made them feel safe, that I was being sanitized. Even safer, when I boarded the plane and walked down the aisle. Oddly enough-no one else was searched except a young black man and a middle-aged white guy.

    The two texts, "The Uncomfortable Bed" and the excerpt from Dracula both demonstrate fear of the unknown and shows the reader clearly what fear and paranoia can look like. However, Dracula's excerpt has a theme that surrounds superstition being true and dangerous while the short story has a theme of unnescessary paranoia. This is all through the respective story's enviroments and the feelings of the narrators.   Figurtive language is used throughout both texts but more so Dracula in order to get an eerie feel.

  • When A Room Of One's Own Sparknotes

    Virginia Woolf, one of the most gifted writers of this century had often wondered why men had always had power, influence, wealth, and fame, while women had nothing but children. She reasoned that there would be female Shakespeare in the future provided women found the first two keys to freedom: independent incomes and rooms of their own. (The second key was a metaphor for women having access to their own private space.) When A Room of One's Own was first published it was considered both radical and revolutionary. Most people--including many women--did not talk about or even think about women's liberation and certainly no one was writing about it, let alone as persuasively as Virginia Woolf.

  • Argumentative Essay On Airport Security

    818 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are about forty thousand airports in the world, and more than thirteen thousand of those airports are located in the United States alone (Central Intelligence Agency, 2013)! All of these airports have added on airport security in the past few years due to varied reasons. A few decades ago, before airport security increased, a person would be able to walk up to the plane gate without needing a ticket or having to go through the security station. That person would even be able to sit and watch the planes take off without being questioned by anyone! However, things have changed and PBS now says “Only ticketed passengers could go through security,” (Villemez, 2011) and are sticking to these procedures for countless reasons.
