Hurricane Katrina

      Hurricane Katrina was in the top five deadliest hurricanes in the U.S. It first hit Florida as a hurricane on August 25. It then went to the Gulf of Mexico the next day to become a category five hurricane but weakened to a category three when it hit Louisiana on August 29. It caused a lot of damage in Florida and between Louisiana and Texas.
      Most of the destruction was in New Orleans. 80% of New Orleans was flooded and Katrina had caused almost 1,500 deaths in the city alone. Katrina brought around 8-10 inches of rain in eastern Louisiana. The most rainfall recorded was 15 inches. The Hurricane caused a ton of destruction and almost 900,000 people lost power.

    That is terrifying. I hope a hurricane like that doesn't happen again.

Trump would not be first president to send National Guard soldiers to US-Mexico border: Jennifer Earl, Fox News       Earl's article from Fox News addresses the recent decision to send National Guard soldiers to the US's border with Mexico. Trump aimed to use the National Guard as a temporary solution to border security until his wall is competed. This decision was also made by the former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

This could also have an unfortunate effect of keeping out desperate families and good people in need. Thi

Harrison Bergeron

      When I first read Harrison Bergeron I was interested in the utopian world. In the beginning I did not understand the point of the story and when they first mentioned Harrison Bergeron, I kept the name in the back of my head. All of the handicaps confused me and made me ask why they would restrict people's ability and chances to make an impact on the world that they lived in.        When Diana Moon Glampers came in the room with the ten gauge and shot Harrison and the dancer it shocked me. The super strict rules they had to shoot someone who tried to express their strengths or abilities.      The exposition was the short and only the first paragraph. The rising action took up most of the story. The climax happened really quickly and so did the falling action. The resolution where the parents forgot everything made me ask why people were limited so much.
