Revenge

The act of revenge is a force to be reckoned with. Revenge is when someone does something and the person wants to get back at them. Here is a story familiar to a lot of people.

On September 11, 2001, around 6:30 a.m., the United States was awoken by the tragedy of 4 hijacked planes. Two of which, crashed into both twin towers, one who crashed into the pentagon, and one who was on track for the white house but fell short. Thank god. These four hijacked planes killed innocent people. Nearly 3,500 innocent lives were ended on that day. The misfortunes of this day will live in infamy just like pearl harbor.

Of course, as our country is, we took action. A few days later, we declared a war on terrorism. We went looking for the man responsible, Osama Bin Laden. Ever since then we have changed a whole country and made it a better place. We made Iraq more secure, even developed a new government for them to use.

This act on terrorism woke a sleeping giant. We took revenge on the terrorism that was going on in our world. This is my example of revenge.
