Document Based Assignment 2 On September 11, 2001 terrorists attacked our country causing one of the most devastating events in United States history. Islamic extremists seized control of four airplanes, crashing two of them into the Twin Towers, one into the Pentagon, and the last in Pennsylvania. Overall they killed 3,000 people and another 6,000 were terribly injured.9/11 is a day the U.S. will never forget, paying respect every year to all those who sadly died.

About eight months into his first term as president Bush had to deal with one of the worst tragedies in U.S. history, the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Although many of his moves during this time of turmoil in the United States were viewed as necessary and patriotic, a few years after the attacks information surfaced that completely destroyed Bush’s image. Long before the 9/11 attacks in 2001, during the Clinton administration, intelligence was collected that connected Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin-Laden to the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa. The Bush administration was warned by outgoing Clinton officials about Al-Qaeda, but information provided by Richard Clarke was the most sincere and frightening. Clarke, who remained from the Clinton
• There are reports that the September 11 attacks killed 2,996 people and injured more than 6,000 Americans. These deaths included 265 that were on four aircraft, 2,606 deaths just within the World Trade Center and surrounding areas, and the Pentagon had 125 deaths. These deaths weren’t necessary if the government was behind this evil intention just to bring Americans together for support of a war against another nation.
Within this essay logos is expressed numerous times and is shown in a great way. “One recent study found that between 1999 and 2009, 86 terrorist plots against Americans have been foiled.” (Holder, Napolitano, and Clapper, 707) shows they have really dug up some evidence and know their facts. The United States has really stepped up their game after the tragic 9/11 tragedy on keeping the residents of this great country safe. Not only is it their responsibility but ours as citizens of the United States to keep safe and the authors really express this throughout the essay.

It was a very small gesture that led to the Supreme Court case, which changed how the police are able to do their job. Mapp v. Ohio was a case in which the United States had to go against first judgement and question if the decision they made in the first place was a smart one. By ruling in favor of Dolly Mapp the supreme court decided that you need to have a valid search warrant which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. On May 23, 1957 three police officers showed up at Dolly Mapps house to investigate a recent bombing.
Colin Sullivan 2/21/23 Writing 121 Eisele Osama bin Laden's Impact on life in the United States Osama bin Laden is a name that has echoed throughout the United States for the last 20 years, an individual with a mission so extreme he changed life in the United States indefinitely. With the death of thousands and over thirty-three billion dollars in damages, it was clear that Osama wanted nothing more than to destroy the West.

The background of the speech is pretty evident from circumstances of Richard Nixon running on the ticket for vice president with Dwight D. Eisenhower on the ticket for president. The speech entitled, “checkers” came into formation and existence because of the assumption that Richard Nixon was receiving funds and money gifts from donors in secret and “off the books” and also in ways that are generally illegal. He used this speech to reveal the real reasons for those gifts and that none of the money from the donors have gone to him personally, but rather they were used for real and legit political expenses that he didn’t want to have to charge the federal government with. These expenses are not limited to paying for travel, campaign related funds, and other necessary expenses. In my opinion, the significance of the speech was that it brought upon many different changes in how the government got involved with the national media.
Domestic Surveillance? “Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” This nugget of wisdom was expressed by Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor who is now exiled in Moscow. Two years ago, he dropped a bombshell on the American public and global citizens everywhere.

Austin King Ms. Den Otter A.P. English Language and Composition President Obama Speech Analysis On the morning of September 11th, terrorists hijacked 4 planes, 2 of which were crashed into the World Trade Center Buildings, another hit the Pentagon, and one was crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. This tragic morning in American history caused the death of almost 3000 people, and the leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was behind it. After planning a mission for around 4 years to execute Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011, he was killed by US special forces. President Obama follows this event with a speech, its goal being to inform the American people of the death of the man who had caused the death of so many loved ones, and achieves this by using rhetorical devices such as parallel structure and appeals to emotion. In the beginning of President Obama’s speech announcing the death of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, he reminds the American people of the tragic events that took place on the morning of 9/11, when “nearly 3,000 citizens were taken from us.”
