Annotated Bibliography of my three articles.


Article #1
            Barbara Ehrenreich argues that the group behind 9/11 may have been countries that we thought were our allies. She claims that the Zionist Occupation Government was the ones who plotted and supported the attackers on 9/11 and shooting troops overseas. Ehrenreich develops her claim by first exploring the conspiracy of the Jews and the Zionists were the ones behind the attack on 9/11. Lastly, the author tells about how locals in Kuwait are shooting our marines. Barbara Ehrenreich’s purpose is to state her opinions on whom and what of the war in order to inform readers about how she thinks the attack happened and who was behind it. This work is significant because it shows the author’s opinion on who was behind the 9/11 attack and the possible enemies we could have in the countries that are our current allies.
Article #2
Martin Peretz argues that the attack on 9/11 was more traumatizing to the American citizens than we thought. He claims that 9/11 was definitely not an accident and that most American’s would assume that the attack was by Muslim extremists. Peretz develops this claim by first acknowledging that there was an attack on the world trade center, then ponders why it happened. Peretz accounts for when the attack happened that he was in his hotel room. Lastly, the author tells the reader about how the citizens in the area around the attack are helping each other and the local law enforcement. Martin Peretz’ purpose is to inform the reader about his account of 9/11 in order to remember the events of that day and tell his views on the attack. This work is significant because it tells his view of the attack on 9/11 and talks about where he was and what he was doing when he first heard of the attack.
Article #3
Lauren B. O'Brien argues that the current terrorist groups are getting far more organized than we anticipated as well as better equipped. She claims that since the years of 9/11 and the beginning of the Iraq War, the terrorist groups responsible have gotten far more advanced. O'Brien develops this claim by first exploring examples of how the terrorists work and how they train and operate. O'Brien states that the terrorist groups have become much more organized. Lastly, the author thinks that we should step up our defenses against these ever changing enemies. Lauren B. O'Brien's purpose is to inform the reader about the more advanced terrorist groups in order to bring forth the seriousness of these groups and their capabilities. This work is significant because it brings forth information about how advanced terrorist groups and how they operate and train their members. This brings a lot of insight on the dangers and abilities of the groups.
