blog # 2                                                    reading responce on the hunger games

   I have just started the book, the the hunger games suzanne collins.   so far the book is about a girl named katniss everdeen, who lives in a poor district (12). ruled by the capital of panem. this year is the hunger games. where one girl, and one boy, from each district is chosen and forced to fight against other districts to the death. im at the part where katnisses sister is chosen from the bowl, but katniss volenteers as tribute.because she dousnt want her sister to go into the harsh hunger games war.

   Katniss is very brave to do such a thing. this shows that katniss loves her sister so much and doesn't want anything to happen to her.   I feel very surprised  that a person would actually take the place of someone going into the hunger games because its really scary, maybe even the scariest thing that could happen to a person. but katniss showed how loving and caring she is towards here sister.   but  know the katniss is very brave and has always been really brave.   at first katniss told her sister she wouldn't get chosen but when prims name got chosen katniss was scared and made a big decision that would keep her sister safe.\

   In conclusion, i have realized there is all ready a small theme developing.   when you love someone you would do almost any thing for them. katniss would really agree. she is probably scared and lost, and angry at the capital. i would be angry too. its terrible to make children fight to the death when they didn't chose to do that and have to training.   i wish katniss good luck.

  post #                                                reading responce on hurricane sandy article 

   Sandy started Sunday, November 28, 2012.  Hurricane Sandy stretched for about two days, and was thought to be a "tropical storm'' but ended up being a real hurricane because of how much damage it left.  In new york hurricane sandy had to have killed at least 60 people. sandy whipped huge waves of water over the streets of atlantic city. i read the article ''sandy wreaks havoc across the northeast; at least 11 dead'' by matt smith. the article is about how horrible the hurricane was, and the damage it left. matt smith also explains the what happened during the hurricane.

   i have realized how seious hurricanes are. hurricanes cause a lot of damage wich scares places that the hurricanes hit the hardest and takes a lot of money and time to heal the scare.in the article, sandy caused people in hopitals at nyu to have to evacuate patients up to 200. in addition the bottom floor of the bellevue hospital center was flooded, and the hospital was running on emergency backup power.

   the storm was blamed to have caused 2.8 million outages across the north east. this means that many people probubly got sick from being in the cold for two long and maybe even a few deathes.also trees were nocked down and fell on homes and the people were struck indoors till people came to resque them. by monday afternoon, 23 states were warned about the harsh winds witch meant a lot of debree would be flying around and falling trees and branches, so it was highly recomended to stay indoors.

   in conclusion, this was no tropical storm i agree with the governer of pennsylvania who also said what i said. hurricane sandy concluded with millions of dollars worth of damage and many deaths across the north east. sandy ended by tuesday leaving damages and remains in some places.
