On 9/11, I was in the second grade, in Mrs. Lambert's class. I remember her turning on the television, and us watching it as a class, and listening to her explain about what happened. The following weeks of 9/11, all you would hear about on t.v., the news, and radios were what had happened, how many people had been killed, and why people think the terrorists did it.
In twenty years from now, I think everyone will still remember this day because it was a very crucial day. Not only did it kill people, it affected people all over the country. Its still affecting because our soldiers are still in Iraq fighting because of this event.
The terrorists chose to attack America because, maybe they were jealous of the great country that we are. Everyone knows that, yeah, there are other countries that are like America but not all those countries have the privileges that we have here.
I don't know anyone that was directly affected by the attacks, but it did affect a lot of people all around the world, even if they didn't know anybody that was killed. Maybe, their family members got sent over to Iraq or Iran and never came back, or maybe they're just paranoid that it might happen again sometime and they're the ones that will get hurt.
If I was going to write a story about 9/11, I would write it in the point of view of a survivor of the plane crashes. I think that if someone, in one of the towers, wrote a book about the event, how they survived, what everyone was doing, it would be a great book.
