However, after a closer look at the puns and symbols Wilbur uses, “A Barred Owl” becomes more than just a simple poem

This extreme weather raises many questions such as: Does climate change have a role in the increased intensity of these storms? What is being done to

Disasters like the flooding in Houston and the hurricanes across the country are unbelievably destructive and have started to become a major problem for the world. While these storms are supposed to be rare and are labeled as 100 or 500 year events this idea can be misleading to the public (Nadja, 2017). People hear this and assume that these events only occur once every 500 years but this is not the case a 500-year flood has a 1 in 500 chances of occurring every year so it’s possible to occur frequently
