Louisa Mae Alcott Responds to the Reactions Surrounding bin Laden's death

I chose to write my piece in the voice of Louisa Mae Alcott. The product is a satire about the reactions to the death of bin Laden/bin Laden's death:

"What a joyous day! The gruesome leader of the terrorism organization al-Qaeda was rightfully killed during this past week by heroic American soliders. What is even more wonderful than the death of Osama bin Laden is the sheer patriotism of the American public, showing their festive spirit in light of the recent victory over evil. American flags waving in the wind, fireworks exploding in the countryside- Americans should be so proud to have vanquished this tyrant with their bare hands. This deserves the most radical celebration of pomp and circumstance that Americans have witnessed in years. With his own intelligence, President Obama single-handedly initiated this military mission. The American public responded with chants of "USA! USA!" throughout the streets, signifying their true elitism over the Middle Eastern countries. It is clear to everyone that the Middle East is a mecca for terrorism, with all of its inhabitants required to go to terrorism school, to learn how to make their first car bomb. Americans certainly have shown the Middle East that good does conquer evil. Americans are right in their manner of exuberance and patriotism because without them, the world would never have found Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted terrorist."
