    Rhetorical Analysis: In 102 Minutes, the authors Dwyer and Flynn signify the irony of the events that took place on September 11th, 2001. Through the two authors’ use of diction and syntax, the World Trade Center is made to look like an almost invincible mass in New York City, though the reader already knows that the Towers fell. Described to be able “to absorb a hurricane of 140 miles per hour,” Dwyer and Flynn instantly set up their social commentary, as all reading the novel already know the tragic irony that what was thought to be indestructible was actually extremely fragile. The image of the Towers “absorbing” a “140 mile per hour hurricane” is vital to understanding how everyone, including the authorities, thought the World Trade Center would be able to handle an attack, no matter how large scale. Furthermore, Dwyer and Flynn use tone to greater help the reader understand why certain precautionary measures may not have been taken long before the attacks that occurred on the fateful day of September…

    The Bible says "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13). Even so, while there are thousands of heroes inscribed on the 9/11 Memorial, in comparison, the movie The World Trade Center produced by Oliver Stone, is the story only of two Port Authority Police Officers from a group of five men, Sergeant John McLoughlin and Officer Will Jimeno from the Port Authority, prayer was their salvation. The Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, our nation's symbols of freedom, stood tall and proud on a crystal-clear day on September 11, 2001. At the speed of 540 mph, the two propelling planes slammed into the two Twin Towers, the first Twin Tower and then the second Twin Tower twenty minutes later leaving the people in New York City who were on the ground, speechless, screaming, crying, frozen, and in shock.…

Perhaps we have believed it because he was wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombing of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya.
