Me and James went down to Ground Zero to help with the clean-up. Despite the dangerous conditions, we stayed to help. We went to the ground zero because we wanted to help up and we wanted to look for James father. James father was a fire-fighter and while everyone was going down he was going up( south tower). At first I didn't want to but I knew that James did so I thought it was best to do it. We had to lie and say we were 18 because we were to young. One of the volunteers knew we weren't 18 but they needed a lot of volunteers. I fought back feelings of dread and fear, but I continued on so James wouldn't be alone.
Well they told me they were going for a walk, but they actually took a train to NYC. I don't think I should be mad because it was for a good cause. They were helping out and I think that's a really good thing. Even they did lie, it doesn't bother me because it was a good thing they volunteered at ground zero.
James: When i went to the ground zero with Will I was shocked first because of how torn up it was. We were under age to volunteer but I think we pulled off our age. The main reason why i wanted to go there is to look for my father. My father was one of the fire fighters that helped during the 9/11 took place. It was very bad there and I am happy that we helped out because they needed as much people to help.
I can agree with you, even though it was very dangerous i would still help because it is for a good cause. If James were not to be there with you at the time, would you still help?
Mrs.F
Yes that is very true. Many mothers would be worried sick and dissapointed but for this cause its a good thing they went. They should of told the truth but for some reason they didnt. If they were to tell you they were going to 'Ground zero' would you allow them?
@James
Shocked is a good description. Was it hard to go through the day knowing you may not find your father?
Well it would be difficult for me to say yes because it is far and very dangerous. I would want to come but of coarse my son would say no and they would take off. So It would be hard to say yes, but i would say yes.
James: Yes it was hard because a) I didn't know if I would actually find him, which I didn't he passed away in the rubble, b) if I found him I wouldn't know what to do. So yes it was very hard throughout the day
Will: To tell you the truth I probably wouldn't because I didn't know how it was going to be there. But since I already did go then I would go again without James. Because James wanted to look for his father I wanted to support him.
Saying yes is very difficult yes. Now did they come home and tell you that they went? Or did you find/figure out?
@James
Yes it would be very hard. How did you feel when you found out your father passed away?
@Will
So in this case you only went because you wanted to help out your friend, that's a really nice thing to do. Did anything surprise you when you went to 'ground zero' ?
Will:The only thing that surprised me was the big mess, in this case all the rubble. Even though I was in the incident I did not know it was this bad. It is(was) going to take a long time for it all to be gone because its really bad. Another thing that surprised me was the amount of people volunteering. I never knew all these people actually cared.
James: I felt disappointed. Disappointed that I was not there. I think if I were to be there then my father would be alive today. I would of been helping him by his side. Or I wanted to be there so I could see him before he died. Its sad loosing a parent, and my father and I were very close. I really just wish I could of been there.
I found out when they came home, they eventually told me. There was anger built into me but when they told me the reason why they went the anger built down.
@James So if you were there you would help your father? When was the last time you seen your father? @Mrs.F Oh yes I get it. Do you think that the volunteers did a good job ( how long it took for it to finish)?
@Will Yes there was a lot of rubble. Do you think that the volunteers did a good job ( how long it took for it to finish)?
Yes I think we did a good job because of the time it took to be done. When we went there everyone was on task and they were doing a great job. I was actually surprised about that and surprised about the amount of people that were there.
Yes if I were there I would of helped my father like John & Will did. They helped each other to get out of the building and save a lady named Ting. I would help in any way there was. The last time I seen my father was the day before the 9/11 ( September 10). He was at home and we had a family game night. It was a really good time and to know that he is dead it makes me really sad. I will never forget that day.
Yes I think they did a very good job. I agree with Will its good that everyone was on task because if they weren't it would of took a long time to finish. Its also a good thing that there was a lot of people. People help make things better for America because its their home land.
James: I learn not to always be depressed and remember what a good person my father was. I am happy that he died doing a very important thing and being a good citizen.
Will:Yes that is very true. Your father was doing a very good job. Even though it was very dangerous in the building all he cared about is getting people to safety. He was a very good man and I thank him for that.
Yes its a very good thing that everyone was focused. Many Americans thank you for doing this, thank you for volunteering to a very good cause. Also thank you for answering my questions.
Your father was a very good man and so are you because of what you did. Many Americans thank you for doing this, thank you for volunteering to a very good cause. Also thank you for answering my questions.

ReplyDeleteIf I were to know they went I would of volunteered also. It is a very good cause and the twin towers was a good tribute to NYC.
