Gloria Tittle: Escaping the giant wave Author: Peg Kehert Date: September 29,2008 Pages:1-31 Quote:I put one elbow on my desk, rested my chin on one palm, and read my list. Yes. My life would definitely be better if my batting average went up, if i if iI could pop up a wheelie,and if i had more money. Reaction:I think he really doesn't think about what he would like to accomplish over thet summer because if you could pop up a wheelie, it isan't really important. i would put something like try to work on my math skills or become more fit by doing excercise.Also money is not the most important thing in life.I think that love, health, shelter, and food. ( yes we do need money, but for me the golden ones are love and health.) Date: September 30 ,2008 Pages:31-60 Quote:The elevator was stuck.//I ought to leave him there,//I thought. Payback for seven years of punching me. Reaction: I understand that he was once mad but i taught un my family when someone does something to you, you don't do it back to them because you just hurting yourself.Also i wouldn't just leave him in the elevator becaase for me this is more dangers than someone punching you. Date: October 1, 2008 Pages: 60- 85 Quote:"We are taking you downstairs because the hotel is on fire." Reaction: They can get killed because they are kids and not profesionals. Also they are just getting smaoke into their bodies and that is not good for breathing. Also they are just putting their lives on danger.Although i know that they are just trieng to help. Date: October 2,2008 Pages: 85-99 Quote: The people on the beach who had just cheered monuments earlier, now turned away from the water and ran for their lives. The bonfire disappeared. The fleeing people were swallowed up before they ever rached the wooden steps that led to the hotels. Reaction:Wow, I have never been in a situation simuliar like that before. They were fortunaute that they didn't get swallowed by the wave. ( Tsunami ) The people that got killed by the wave must of not have time to escape or just wan't aware. It says further in the the story that Bee Bee ( his little sister) and Kyle got safe. They must run before the next bigger wave comes and gets them. Lastly, I think that this wave was just to tell them or warn them that anyone who is still alive should run away. Date: October 3,2008 Pages: 100-122 Quote: "Is it safe to go back."she said. Reaction: I think that it is not safe because maybe another tsuami could by the way back. They could wait for atleast 30 min., and then they can get their way back. Did anyone survive the tsunami?
