I Survived: Diary Of Leo And Fletch

Moon Shadow’s point of view of the earthquake in Dragonwings by Laurence Yep was that at first he was scared, but then he decides it isn’t so bad; they’re all alive and together.

A deep rumbling started beneath their feet. The ground shook so violently Percival had to brace his feet in a wide stance to ensure he did not fall over. The sky turned a purple-black as the ground heaved. Although Percival had heard tales of earthquakes, he had never experienced one, and this was more unsettling that described, the sensation that at any moment, one could be sucked into a chasm in the earth. And it seemed so odd that this quake would happen in the middle of a battle, just when King Arthur’s men needed it the most.

The first few seconds of your first earthquake are disconcerting. You don’t know what’s happening. The undulation, the noise, the inability to focus -- it’s all disconcerting. But once you’ve been in a few, you know the feeling. You don’t relax, but you don’t panic, either.

"More news about the earthquake the devastated California this afternoon." The news buzzed softly in the background, piquing (f/n)'s interest. "So far three-thousand-four-hundred casualties are confirmed couple that with the countless missing and injured you have one of the most devastating quakes to hit California since 1906." The news Anker affirmed. "It appears that the Hayward Fault may have been the culprit of this catastrophe. We'll continue to bring you updates as they come." With that, it switched over to a talk show that you guessed it spoke about the earthquake. (F/n)'s eyes began to droop after all she worked third shift and hadn't gotten any sleep since the debacle with her

Two stories with a historical genre “Horrific Wreck Of The City” by Fred Hewitt and “Comprehending The Calamity” by Emma Burke both tell the story of the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 in varying perspectives.

An infamous, disastrous earthquake is not an everyday occurance. While many have never experienced one in their lives and probably never will, there are those who have unfortunately been through the catastrophe. A man named Jack London was one of those people who had personally witnessed the aftermath of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, and went on to describe the tragedy. Jack London demonstrates the scale of the damage through use of vivid language such as repetition, human characteristics, and emotions in his account of the San Francisco earthquake.

It was December, 2004 and Sarah and her family were having a normal day out on a boat in Aceh, Indonesia, when all of a sudden a tsunami occurred. The author wants to teach the reader to be prepared for anything. He shows this by throwing up unexpected turns of events within the story, and showing how Sarah, Peter and Ruslan overcome those events. For example, when the tsunami strikes the author shows how they survive. This is a very valuable lesson for the reader, so they can use that in their life to get through tough times.

San Andreas portrays an interpretation of potential events that are feasible if the San Andreas fault resulted in a major earthquake. Although the movie’s creators and directors dramatized or intensified facts regarding earthquakes and events that would commonly occur in the midst of an earthquake for entertainment purposes, the information presented regarding events that could occur during and following an earthquake was generally accurate. However, there was inaccurate information presented in the film.

Jian and Alex loved to climb things so they decided to go climb hills. They imagined as if they were climbing mountains. The stomped their feet as if they were trying to shake the earth. Jumping up and down, Alex was having a good time. Later that day, they decided to go inside and go to sleep. Jian went to go check on Alex and tucked him before bed. He grabbed the old torn down blanket and covered it on top of Alex. During the night, Jian could hear a little rumbling sound. It was soft at first and got louder, he realized it was an earthquake and dashed to save Alex. As he was running to get Alex the boards squeaked loudly. With Alex in Jian’s hands, he went to run out the door. Jian tripped and Alex fell and hit his elbow on something. The earthquake was getting intense now, you can feel the food in your stomach moving. It felt like they were in a nightmare, Jian quickly ran outside and waited the earthquake out. He was they lucky survived, the house had almost fallen down and was in need of serious repairs. Alex was a kid and did not know what was going on at the time. He got injured on his elbow from the fall and they tried to clean it up. Jian was grateful that his family made it out safely. Jian looked around and could see the houses that had fallen. It looked like a tornado swept through the place. During the weeks of cleanup, Jian begin to realize how he has been taking a lot of things for granted. He decied to change and decided to be grateful because he still had his family while other families lost

“Fiona, grab the flashlight! Oh, know it’s too late” Me and my mom, had been put into a ridiculous game show in Hawaii called “The Stranded Ones”. It wasn't a normal game, where you spin a wheel and win money, it was pretty much the opposite. Life and death were on the line.The first day was exhausting! We had already been greeted by so many neighbors and , and I was pretty sure they're wouldn’t bother me and my mom. Turns out I Was wrong.

Its been 20 years since humanity was saved from the creatures. 20 years of peace and tranquility. 20 years that Craig and Sarah got to spend together and make a family. They decided to be a family 2 years after they killed Cthulu. They had a son and a daughter named Sam and Jack. They were a happy 20 years. It was until the creatures came back. It turns out that Cthulu wasn’t the only one who controlled the creatures.

His face warm, Kurapika carefully peeled Leorio’s shirt off his arms, letting it join his tie on the floor — and then, unable help himself, Kurapika began caressing Leorio’s bare skin, reverently running his hands up and down his biceps.

Leorio was stunningly easy to read. Kurapika had perfected it within the first few weeks of knowing him. Not only was he a terrible liar, he couldn't keep a lid on his emotions to save his life.

Everybody new that San Francisco has earthquakes so this one was no surprise. My brother and I were in 2nd period P.E and were playing ultimate frisbee and the ground started to shake, so we got to the floor and protected our heads like we were taught to do. Only this time was different the other kids around me started screaming my name, but I didn't notice them I was to busy trying to escape. It turns out that the earthquake was

It had happened daily, almost like clockwork. Screams so loud it made my ears ache. The crash of whatever was in an arm's reach being thrown at walls. Those poor walls had seen more beatings than I ever have or would. As they were in their own violence and hate filled world, I stood up from my seat on the floor, my body trembling, I closed my tear filled eyes as I closed their door so I would not see their bared teeth. I now stood back in front of the tv and my tiny toothpick legs buckled under me. I curled up in my fluffy gray blanket and held my stuffed puppy dog up to my face. I whispered to him “It’s okay” as if he could hear me and dried my tear streaked cheeks with his ragged ears.
