favorite place

My favorite place in the U.S. is woods hole Massachusetts. Woods Hole is a small town near Boston that my family and I go to every summer. Woods Hole is mainly known for 2 things: It's a really big Marine Biology resource center, because it's right next to the ocean. It's also known because in the ocean near it, there's a huge place where tons of currents from every direction converge and make a giant-killer-whirlpool of death-type thing that's very dangerous to ships. It's called the Hole, and that's where it gets the name Woods HOLE. Woods Hole is awesome because it's so small and you can walk everywhere, and I meet some friends there that I don't see during the school year. Also, basically all my t-shirts are Woods Hole related, because I do my shirt shopping there.
I also like Austin, because I grew up here, and because Austin is Awesome.

Terrorism

The United States has had terrorist attacks in the past, including September 11 2001- also known as 9/11. On 9/11, 2 planes that were hijacked by Al Qaeda (An Islamic terrorist group) crashed into the world trade center towers. This attack killed and injured many innocent people. Al Qaeda attacks the U.S, because they want America to get out of Muslim countries. The U.S is trying to prevent this terrorism by launching a "war on terrorism" which includes increasing security at airports, and political reasoning with muslim countries.
