I also thought it was interesting that Ali included 9/11. I also have never thought about it outside the context of the United States. I was in class (first grade) when we found out and I remember the teachers all circling up to decide what to do. Although I didn’t really understand what was going on at the time, the teachers were doing a similar thing to those across the US and apparently across the globe: using a tragedy to bring them together as a stronger force. It is interesting to me that one tragedy like that can affect the whole globe. However, I wonder that if the attack occurred in a place like Pakistan if the impact would have been so vast.
