Answer: The World Trade Center Towers fell on September

Explanation: Please don't simply copy and paste your questions; sometimes the formatting goes all wacko, like it did here. Also, double-check that ALL the information pertaining to the question is included; I'm not entirely sure that this answer is correct, due to the fact that there is no "line" to even read. :)

8 and 9 year old girls are getting married to 30 year old men for protection.
frez [133]

Answer:

This story made me feel sad :(

However, the purpose of this story is to reveal the cruelty of our world and the protectors who help and protect children.

The quote, "Nobody wants to be told what they're doing is wrong" is true. Sometimes, we never accept when we're wrong.

"and you see the terror" represents that nobody cared until something had to happen.

I'm sorry I couldn't get much from these quotes. This topic is a bit tough for me sometimes and I'm just doing my best to help.
