9/11

   I really like this picture because it shows the firemen, tired and scared and worried, putting up the American flag to stand above all the debris and show that we are still a united nation no matter what. It's an emotional picture to me because I think it is a very patriotic picture.

   I think the coverage for the 10 year anniversary was appropriate since it was such a huge and emotional event. There were plenty of shows on T.V. to watch about the tragedy, which is good and bad. I think it's a good thing so that way no one forgets and we can all stay together. However, all of the news coverage and television shows can be a little overwhelming sometimes and brings back strong memories for those who were affected by this horrible event. I actually didn't happen to watch many shows about this, but I saw plenty of advertisements for them.
  I was only five years old when 9/11 happened so I don't really remember much. I just recollect everyone being in panic and worried, which I didn't understand. However, as I got older I started to realize why it was such a big deal. I understand now and will never forget that day. 
   The media often shows images to the public about 9/11 which some people don't think should be shown. It's a very controversial topic on what should be viewed and what shouldn't be. For example, many civilians jumped from the towers to their death below, which I don't think should be filmed. I think it's disrespectful to those people and to their families.
