Response to Purple Hibiscus

     The Purple Hibiscus is a very good book. I think it is sad to think about how the children and wife get beaten, but do not tell anybody. I think it is interesting to see what the family will do in the future of the book. I am very engaged in the book right now because it is now getting to the more interesting things. I want the kids and wife to speak up next time it happens so that Papa can be shamed in the public for a bad person.
     I did not like this book at first because I thought it was boring and slow. The same thing kept happening, and it was depressing. I really like how they incorporate there common language within the book. I think it is strange how they the family always ends up going back to the house with Papa and he does everything all over again. I am really starting to like this book now.

My Summer Time

     I had a pretty eventful summer. The first week I went to Orange Beach with my friend. When I came home I had to start summer weights...that was not fun. And then July came around, and i was off to Montana/Canada with my brother and my aunt. I was waiting all summer to go to Glacier National Park.      I went to Glacier National Park, it was so beautiful. We went on hikes and saw spectacular waterfalls. One waterfall was so big the wind it made could knock you over. We went on one hike that was 5 miles long, and we thought it was 2 miles. All my brother wanted to see was a mountain goat. On the very last hike we saw 10 mountain goats. They are very majestic animals. I had an amazing summer with my family.

Hurricane Katrina

     On the morning August 29th, 2005, hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a category 5 in the Gulf of Mexico, but when it hit land it was category 3. The storm started in the Bahamas as a tropical storm on August 23rd. They had time to warn people to evacuate, however 20% of the population stayed. Mayor Ray Nagin declared that the Super-Dome would be a last resort shelter. Katrina claimed the lives of about 2,000 people. Also, the damage spread across 90,000 square miles.      Although I was only 2 years old I do remember some things from Hurricane Katrina. I had family that lived in New Orleans, and did not evacuate. It was my aunt and her husband. They're house got destroyed in the storm. So came to stay with us for 2 months. They never moved back to New Orleans. They eventually bought a house in Baton Rouge, and are still living here. Resource: http://www.history.com/topics/hurricane-katrina
