protected by the walls, rooms, and doors, and the policeman

family to protect us and the house, the walls and doors too.

liberty were violated. How were they violated?
Terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers, where
innocent people were killed. People felt secure
when they went to work. After this act, people
became sad and angry. They did not feel secure,
which is why they demanded to their president to do
something about it. This is when the Patriot Act is
enforced as a law.
