September 11, 2001 was a tragic day for the entire nation. We all cried in different ways; whether it's discussed on national television, spoken through music, or written down for others to read. We were all intrigued to hear what other people had to say about what happened and their perspective. Nothing could improve it except talking about it, which is reflected in Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue", Bruce Springsteen's "My City Ruins", American Life Turns Into Bad Jerry Bruckheimer Movie by The Onion, and Jon Stewart's Monologue on The Daily Show. Each of them reflected in different ways on what happened on 9/11. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on “Why Violent Video Games Should Not Be Banned”? Get an original essay I think the least effective sources were the two songs by Toby Keith and Bruce Springsteen. They talked about how terrible the explosion scene was and the patriotism that America needs now. The reason I didn't like this is because many of the songs are not written by the artist themselves. They could have participated in its writing, but they were not the only ones. Additionally, Bruce Springsteen's song was not originally written for the terrorist attack. It was written for his hometown, but before it was published the attacks happened, so they changed it to relate it to the Twin Towers. I didn't think it was authentic, that's why I didn't like it. My reasoning for not thinking that Toby Keith's song was effective is that it wasn't just about 9/11; it was partly about his father. I thought maybe there should be one just about his dad and then another one just for 9/11. It's because he made this song to perform for the Marines, I thought the focus should be on them for this song. My personal opinion is that he should have made two separate songs for these two incidents as they are of equal importance. The Onions article was satire in discussing such a serious subject. I know it's a sarcastic website, but there needs to be some respect. He compared every part of the attack to a movie, which I think was the weakness. There were some serious parts that were explained by talking about movies, but I didn't think it was necessary. There was no need to compare presidents to actors. For me the effective part was when it came to events that happened in movies, but it's not for entertainment now, in fact it's not funny at all. It compared what happened to what happens in the movies, but still had a serious tone. The most effective source responding to 9/11 was Jon Stewart's monologue. That's because he's the host of the Daily Show on Comedy Central. This network aims to make people laugh. He made one or two jokes, but other than those few seconds, he remained serious for the entire nine minutes. This shows how tragic this situation was: a comedian was crying because of the Twin Towers attacks. He said: “The reason I don't despair is because this attack happened, it's not a dream, but after the calculations, recovery is a dream come true. "What happened was real and Jon Stewart brought home the fact that there is a time to be funny and a time to be serious, which is why I thought it was the most effective piece .
