Reaction to On Native Soil
The events of September 11, 2001 forever changed the United States and the lives of its citizens forever. The initial reaction of 9/11 was shock, horror, and overwhelming sadness, whether you knew a victim or not. When I saw On Native Soil, I was surprised by what I found out. I was young at the time and didn't understand what was going on. Watching On Native Soil was like watching a big news story, some of which I was hearing for the first time. It was very hard to watch the planes hitting the towers, especially knowing what was coming next. People weren't aware that it was a terrorist attack when the first building was hit, and it was frustrating that the people in the second tower were told not to evacuate. On Native Soil was not only very sad to watch, it was frustrating as well.

Madi I do agree with everything you said. All of those feelings of shock,horror, and overwelming sadness came to everyone in America that day. Even watching that movie brings thoughs feelings up. Every year when 9/11 comes around it never gets easier to see the tragedy. Seeing the images of the planes hitting was a shocking and disterbingly said but when thoughs towers fell your heart just broke into a million pieces. The thing is when that first tower was hit the people in the second tower should have gotten out. I know they said that building was safe but how did they really know. I don't think they did they just wanted people to be calm. The feelings that you get watching on native soil are not even close to the ones that lost someone.
