The topic of my paper is (or will be once I get all my thoughts together) is September 11, 2001. The website posted above is a website meant to help children understand what happened on 9/11. The facts are correct but not very exact. Instead of saying the exact number, it estimates. The colors of the whole page are red, white, and blue, the most obvious point of patriosism the article contains. For a child this is a great page. It gives them a general idea of the events without burdening them with too much information. Although the page is pretty crowded with other links and whatnot it is it is still appealing to the eye. It’s important that the people realize that webpage’s can be created by anyone, with different opinions and incorrect facts. Facebook and Myspace are created by that person themselves and therefore are only reflective of what the person wants the world to think of them. Anything else can be deleted. Take pictures for example, an attractive picture can be deleted and the one in a million shot of a not so attractive person actually looking good is put up and therefore the world think they are good-looking. Misleading. Pictures are different in words. Words give you straight facts. Usually people cannot argue with facts and therefore they are important. Pictures however give emotion, something words may have trouble evoking. The pictures give the words meaning and they are dependent on each other.
