Blog post #7: Catching fire

          In the story Catching fire Katniss comes across a couple of problems. One of them is that President Snow is making her marry Peeta. Another is that there is going to be an uprising in Panem. 

          A problem that Katniss faces in the story is that president snow is making her marry Peeta. This is a problem because she doesn't know if she loves Peeta. But if she doesn't do this then she could hurt her best friends and her family like prim her mom and gale. Katniss thinks that President snow is making her marry peeta because if they get married then they will have kids and there kid will have to compete in the hunger games and he/she will most likely die. She solves this problem by marrying peeta because she doesnt want to put any of her friends and family in danger. 

          Another problem Katniss faces is that there is going to be an uprising in panem. An uprising is when all of the districts riot and try to take over. There is going to be an uprising because there is not suppose to be 2 winners and all of the families children that died in the hunger games are mad and are starting to riot. She solves this problem by doing what the president says.

          In conclusion, katniss solves both of these problems. I can relate to katniss because if my family and friends lives were on the line I would do anything to keep them safe.

Blog post #7: Hurricane sandy article

          The article "48 Hours: Before, during, and after Hurricane Sandy in Seaside Heights and Cape May" is about how hurricane sandy caused so much damage to a lot of people all over the east coast. In Seaside Heights, New jersey there was an amusement park and after hurricane sandy it was all gone and pretty much all of new jersey lost power and got flooded. Some say it was the worst storm the east coast has ever faced. Some houses in new jersey were broken down and shattered. Most people in seaside heights were to evacuate seaside heights. 

          In the article it says: "Thats what new jersey did last year right before irene hit but this is different, a hurricane buddying with a nor'easter. Almost everyone believes the damage will be substancial and the pain, perhaps unpreceded. This means that they thought that the storms weren't going to be bad and that they didn't have to worry about them. 

         I think that it is so sad that thousands of people were killed and affected by hurricane sandy. People lost their homes, lost power and were killed by falling trees and other things. I was lucky that i wasn't affected by hurricane sandy. I feel bad for everybody that was affected by the hurricane and I think schools should do fundraisers to raise money for the people that lost their homes and most of there belongings.
