Let’s Roll My book “Let’s Roll!” is by Lisa Beamer. It is a non-fiction book. It talks about the 9/11 and her husband Todd who was in the crash. I have several different opinions about this book, because the beginning started to talk about Lisa’s husband Todd. Then the next several chapters it talked about flashbacks with Lisa’s family and Todd’s family. To be honest the flashbacks confused me, I wish it had talked about the families in the beginning. But overall I thought the book was decent. It covered a lot of things that happened in the crash of 9/11. It was very informative.
The catastrophe that happened on 9/11 affected so many people, families, jobs, lives, buildings, and much much more. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. This

This has great impact on me, because it I learned why and how this divide in society is happening and how such frustrations such as in 2008, is causing people to
Soon Jeanette followed Lori’s path and the other two, Brian and Maureen soon did so too. At this point the family had fully shattered just like glass.

The book explains so many people’s views and what they were doing before, during and after each plane crashed. It explains how every agent and employee working for the government knew that once the first plane hit they thought that it could be an accident but once the second plane hit they instantly knew it was an act of terrorism. Between the FBI and the CIA there was so much communication missing and it is hard to believe 9/11 even occurred knowing they had so much information on these
For the longest time in her life, she reasoned with the final judger, and her redemption all add up to the spiritual plight that we all must take in life. Everyone may not all be Christians, but the journey of spirituality applies to everyone. We all must travel it at some point. We all know it, and that makes this story common to us all.
This family comes together in a time when they all need it. Phillip at one point tells Judd he’s on his side and has his back no what the situation is. Then every time Judd and Wendy meet on the roof to talk they are creating a turning point during a bad time. It can be see that each brother, sister, brother, brother, and/or mother, child moment is a growing point where something/someone else is thinking and acting different. The Altman family displays resilience by walking away at the end and assuring each other that they have their backs.
At the end of the movie the two girls make peace and Susanna leaves wanting an eventual full recovery for Lisa. This serves as the best example of “a pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation”.(2)
Amy Lyles Wilson father’s passed away and left her mom widowed. Her mom now had to deal with not only grief but learning to do many things that she had never done before. She was a fast learner so learning how to do things she’s never done before wasn’t hard, it just took courage. For example, pump her own gas or any car mechanics but even throughout the obstacles that her mom had been challenged with after her dad passed away she learned that always, and she means always, you keep going.
I am glad we listened to the presentation because it gave a lot of insight into the 9/11 attack that I did not have because I was
In conclusion not only is the death penalty a cruel and unlawful punishment, but when the right to live freely is denied it is also a violation of basic human rights. There are around 140 countries that have abolished the death penalty, with still no international law forbidding the use of it. Nevertheless, Canada has spent around 15-20 billion on the Criminal Justice system in hopes that it will help solve crime. In the end, most Canadians would agree that bringing back the death penalty is a dishonest punishment, with permanent results and in no way promises that it will help decrease the crime rate and keep Canadians safe.

When I saw the firefighters training, I was like wow. I really admired how these firefighters enjoyed their job, even though it wasn’t easy. I could really tell that they were diligent and hardworking. They were devoted to being the best firefighters they can be. When Tony said “Being a firefighter was the closest thing to being a superhero.”, I thought it was really inspiring. The part of the documentary that really made my heart drop was when I saw smoke coming out of the first tower. I was so shocked when the World Trade Center went on fire. Everything was normal that day, and then all of a sudden this terrible event just had to start. Thinking back about it, I would have been so shocked, confused, and at the same time afraid for what’s to come. The firefighters were just bonding, and then out of the blue, the building just started smoking and debris was falling. I was heartbroken thinking about how unfortunate for the many people in the building. I could imagine how many people were in there, thinking that it was just another ordinary day; however, these innocent people had to suffer because of these terrorists. Lives were ruined and destroyed. This one bomb caused mass destruction, and this made me think about how one thing could cause so many things to happen. For example, the endless ripple effect. It made me wonder, how much better this world would be if everyone used this effect for kindness, instead for hate or destruction. It was absolutely
