Favorite places in the U.S.

I have a few favorite places in America. Some of my most favorite places are just simply the different states that have family living in. But a big one that everyone knows is Disney World. It his a HUGE amusement park in Florida that is enjoyed by family's all year long. The have hundreds of rides and many other things to do like go see shows. I have been here twice. Once when i was a little younger so i don't remember it as well and another just a few years ago. Both times we went as a family. I hope to go back again.
A more historical place that is just as amazing is the Grand Canyon. I have only been there once but would love to go again. It is gigantic canyon that was once formed by a river. Its a lot of fun to go through, but you have to be prepared for a very long walk! Some people ride donkeys through it. I always thought that looked kind of fun. The Views of the canyon are amazing from the trail and create an experience everyone should see in their life. I have many other places in the United States that I love these are just two of them that really stick out in my mind.

Terrorist attacks

In america we do have Terrorist attacks. The most popular one took place on September 11, 2001. A plain was taken over and crashed right into the world trade center. There could be many motives of the terrorists. One is that they are trying to scare us. The countries that we are enemies with are far away from us. They might be trying to prove that even though physically we are not very close together they can still come over here.
Ever since 9-11 our country has began to make ways to try and pervent more terrorist attacks. The biggest thing effected was our air ports because last time this is how the terrorist got to out country. Now the airport security is much more advanced. Some examples of this is no one can walk to a gate unless they have a ticket. You can only fly with a limited amount of liquids in your carry on. Now when you go throught the security you have to take off your shoes. Now search more people randomly. Hopefully with the security a bigger deal we will not have more problems with terrorists.
