Recently in Boston during a marathon, two bombs went off, killing and harming a lot of people. The scene was terrible; people already with wobbly legs from running for so long had their second huge adrenaline rush of the day, this time with so much fear surrounding them.
This horrific incident caused a lot of people to step up though. So many people went out of their way to help those in need, all the while with a thought in their head that they could be in danger. People working the water stands, people watching, and even runners were trying to help get people what and where they needed, carrying if they needed to.
The next day, and probably for the entire next week, there were people all across Boston mostly, but even across the country, running together in silence to give respect and remember those that were killed or injured during the marathon. Right away a huge investigation took place to find out who started all of this, and its amazing how fast they figured it out.
Some might argue though, that the media gave all of this a little too much attention. Most of the stories surrounding what happened were about the two men responsible, and about how bad it all was, not about all of the good that happened right after, or about how the marathon itself went. It's understandable people want to know what happened, but sometimes the media gives certain things unneeded attention.
There is a lot of hate in this world, but when something terrible happens is when people seem to come together, and that gives everyone hope.(274)
