On Native Soil

The film On Native Soil was very moving and had a lot of good information that I did not know. I mainly didn’t know all this information because I was in 5th grade when these events occurred. One thing that really shocked me while watching this film was that when the first plane hit the first tower everyone thought it was just a plane crash and did not think to evacuate the second tower. If we thought to evacuate the second tower thousands could still be alive. But instead thousands of loved ones died, and we got to see their families and friends fighting to get answers because no one could say or wanted to say what really happened that day. Viewing the shots of the September 11 terrorist attacks crushed me, and it made me think did this really make the United States stronger or weaker?

I think it the United States was stronger during some parts while the other times we were weaker. The united state was on a roller coaster. When the planes hit the towers we were weak. We were in shock and had no idea how to handle it physically and emotional. After A couple days past as a country we were strong and supportive. We had to be for the one who were lost and ones lucky enough to be found. Then Bush declared war. We made a decision and went in it strong wanting revenge. But because people did not want war they stated to hate the government and this war. Today with the election, the war is on every voters mind. Do you think the biggest issue in this election is the plan for the war?
