9/11 A Tragedy (Journal # 8)

"You do always not understand me!! “ I said angrily. On the September, 11th, 2001 hot and humid night, that day, I and my parents had a big fighting. I shunted down my door and lain down my bed. 2 hours later, I felt a little bit hungry so I went out my room and wanted to find something I can eat. When I entered living room and tried to find some food, unwarily, I noticed that the TV was playing a movie about wars. “What kind of movies you are watching.” “What’s the big deal?” I was thinking. "What are you watching? What’s the name of the movies?” I asked. "……………” nobody answered me. “Hey I am talking to you mom, dad!” I said it again. "The United Stated was attacked.” My father answered me pensively. I couldn’t figure out those words he said was series or not. I just couldn’t encode his words. "Are you series?” I still felt wondering. “I have to call your sister and aunt immediately!! "Ok, I knew that he was not kidding me. When I kept a close watch on the TV, I found that I felt that my chest was so tight that I was aware I hold my breath unknowingly.

During that time, I worked in the hospital already. Day by day, I just only went to work and went home invariably, and I had no feeling about everything. But at that time, when I saw the news, I felt as if the pores of my body were all opening up, and felt like some extremely cold water just poured my body from head to toy, suddenly, I felt scared. After the tragedy happened, I watched TV every day and I was crying with those people who suffered from the terrific attacks.

However, one person made me changed my miserable emotion, that is, the former mayor of New York City, Rudolph W. Giuliani. I am not talking about his merit or demerit. I just want to give him a credit for a special opinion. "We should go shopping, go outside, and enjoy our life.” “We won’t be frightened by such terrific attacks!” the former mayor of New York City indignantly talked to the residents of New York City. “How optimistic he is!” I thought.I think that as a mayor of New York City, he tried to recall the courage and hope that people have already abandoned and he also knew that if people lost their merely courage and hope, they won’t go through the grieved occurrence.

In my heart, I am deeply touched by this opinion. And I also believe that when the only feeble lights are blown, only hope can light up our heart and lead us thought out the dark . Nowmatter how miserable we feel, it will pass away eventually. Don't give up, my friends !
