The World Trade Center
by Brittany Harris
I was in my car when my mom told me about the World Trade Center being knocked down by an airplane. When I got home, my dad was watching the news. On the news channel they were showing a lot of pictures of the airplane crashing into the World Trade Center. Then,for the past few weeks that was the only thing on the news. Then when we would go to the store, I would see a lot of people with flags on their house. And on their mailboxes. They had flags in their yards because they care about what happened. The flag symbolizes freedom and justice. My mom said on the first floor there was a day care center. I feel really, really bad for all the children who don’t know.
How I Feel about the Tragedy
by Kaitlyn Chastain
I felt bad on September 11, 2001. It was very sad. The people who did this will pay. It was a shock. I was in school when it happened. We watched the news all night long. Now America is a better community. If my grandpa was alive, he would be very sad, also. A lot of people lost family members. If I was old enough, I would go and help the people look for their loved ones. God bless the United States of America. Whoever did this is seriously going to pay big time. We are a strong place to live.
Thoughts

I felt many ways. I heard about the bombings in New York. I felt confused because I didn’t know why someone would attack America. I felt sad because a lot of people lost friends and lives. I felt hopeful because I thought the rescue operators could find people. I felt relieved because there was no more damage done than there was done.
The World Trade Center
by Myles Dowell
In New York there were planes that crashed into the World Trade Center Twin Towers on purpose on September 11, 2001 and there were lots of people who died. And some people's mothers and fathers are dead. Terrorists killed our people . And there is a disease called anthrax they put in the mail that kills innocent people too. We have to fight back to keep our freedom. Bin Laden destroyed the Twin Towers and he killed 3000 Americans there, he killed people in the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and also people some where else and that is why we have to fight back. I do not like those men because we are good people. Why did they have to do that to us? It is so heart breaking.

On September 11, I did not know what had happened. We were in class when the planes hit the Twin Towers. My dad picked me up that afternoon and asked me if I had heard the news. I said no. My dad told me that two planes had crashed into the Twin Towers and that many people had lost their lives and several other people were missing, including firemen and police men. They were trying to save people’s lives. I wasn’t afraid because I did not understand what had happened. I am sad because kids don’t have their moms and dads in their lives anymore.

When the World Trade Center got hit by a plane, my brother and I did not really understand it like my mom and dad did. It was hard to explain. There was a lot about it on TV. It was sad for the people around me. We were all very scared about what would happen the next day. And then we had a war. Lots of men and women gave their lives. I am glad that there are people to protect me. I am very glad that none of my family was in the war. It happened on September 11, 2001.
How I Felt When it was September 11, 2001
by Lindsay Lewin
I felt sad September 11 because lots of people died and firemen risked their lives to save people in the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and airplane. Osama bin Laden should be ashamed because he did this to our beautiful great country.
Thoughts

I felt sad about the terroristic attacks on September 11, 2001. I want to know why they did this because we are innocent people. We didn’t do anything to Afghanistan. Why did they do it? My parents told me about it when I got home from school. I was supposed to go to a Brave’s game that night, but all parks were closed because of the attacks, and the games were canceled.
What I Think about 9-11
by Stephanie Johnson
When I got home on September 11 my mother said that lots of kids lost their parents because of the terrorist attacks. She told me about what happened. She said that many people lost their loved ones and the terrorists crushed the Twin Towers. We watched it on TV that night. I am sorry for the people that lost their loved ones.
What I Feel Like
By Sarah Murphy
I felt sad when the terrorist made the planes crash because the airplane was my uncle John’s plane. He was supposed to be flying it and he was not there. He was so lucky he was not on the plane, but the people who were on the plane were not so lucky.

I felt sad because my Meme was on a plane the same time the planes hit the buildings, but she was not on that plane. I do not know why they did that, but we will fight back and we will win because we know our country is stronger. I was sad because so many children lost their moms and dads.
