Journal Entry

In reading this chapter today on Comparison and Contrast, what stuck out most to me what the essay called A Fear Born of Sorrow. This essay brought me back to that horrific day, September 11th, 2001. I remember waking up to the news and just being in shock. There were no words to describe how any of us felt that day. Shock was the initial reaction, and then sadness and fear. I had some friends and family that lived in New York, so trying to reach them was nearly impossible. All the phone lines were busy! I just could not believe what had happened. It is a sad day in our nation's history. One that will never be forgotten.
