"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains of slavery?"~Patrick Henry (36).
Personally i HATE with a burning passion these pictures. The fact that anyone took them grosses me out in some ways. This quote relates to those who jumped out of the burning towers because they were put in a situation where they were being attacked. Their lives were about to end because of the collapsing and burning building. These people who jumped decided to make a choice and not give in to the fate they was forced upon them. These people jumped out to end their lives quicker, and with less pain. They made a choice, just like Patrick Henry explained, they deserve the right to make a choice of what they want, not be forced into something they don't want.
"...and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us"~Patrick Henry (36)
The picture shows firefighters raising the American flag on Ground Zero. Patrick Henry explained that we are invincible by any force. The British army killed plenty of Americans during the Revolutionary War, just as Al Qaeda killed thousands of Americans during the 9/11 attacks. Although we were injured, killed, and damaged from these attacks, we are still strong and prosperous as a nation. We do not grow weaker by our loss, but stronger. We do not give up, and we never will.
