There are always events that are more talked about and worried over than any other story. The top 3 in the last 13 years, in my opinion, were the terrorist attacks in 2001, the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2005, and the Gulf Oil Spill in 2010.

Review of The Impossible

I really enjoyed this movie. It is a true story of a family who visited Thialand on holiday, when a tsunami hits the coast. This movie is very graphic and intense, it really leaves nothing out, and shows the true gore a tsunami can bring. This movie is about survival against all odds. I also really liked the fact that it was a family trying to find each other, and how strong the young kids really were.

Japan faced some terrible tragedies. They are facing extremely hard challenges and need all the help they can get. The American Red Cross has been helping by donating money and providing people with shelters and food. Have you helped Japan yet? If yes, how? If no, when are you going to start and what are you going to do?

Japan has been through a lot these past months rebuilding and restoring Japan into what it was before March 11th, 2011. Have you supported them?

This will allow you to dig deep into the tragedy of the Japan eartquake. It shares the exact statistics that made this one of the worst trgedies in the last decade. It explains in deep thought how i feel about the subject and at the same time. If you ever wonder abot hiw many victims there were that are lost, the death toll and a good review with images, this is what you should watch! This is what people may call something that informs and gets very deep into thought. Watch and hope you enjoy!!!

You heard about it on the news, in the paper, everyone was talking about it. The March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It's June now, and other things are happening that pull your attention away from this disaster. But the struggle isn't over yet, even if you may not hear about it so much anymore. In fact, Japan's recovery will continue for months and years. It's important that we stand by the country and support the people, not just now, but in the years to come. What can you do to help?

Fear of destruction

I found Jamie's song to be unique on quakestories because this was not a regular song. This was more of a narrative, a story being told, with respectful music being played in the background to add on to the suspense of the situation.

The Earthquake and Tsunami from Japan

I’m learning more about Japan right now, and in particular what I’m
wondering about is: What is the aftermath of the
“Earthquake&Tsunami”? I was researching this question online, and

Osama bin laden's death covers up any recent news about the Japan earthquake.

It's unfair that the news about Osama Bin Laden's death over powers any news about Japan. If the news forgets about it then so will people, and the Japanse need help. I was wondering if the power plants ever got fixed in Japan and I couldn't get any information. Also I think, as Mrs.Brownstone says, that it's really disgusting that people are running out on the streets and cheering over someone's death. No one should do that.

Blog #2

By Izzy Lee 7-1

In this blog I am going to talk about the different views children take in Japan about the earthquake and Tsunami. Although I am glad that many of the students writing Quake stories try and take a positive attitude toward the terrible damage that has been done to their country I am worried that some students and people in less damaged areas are under informed about the danger they are in.

I'm learning more about the tsunami that happened in Japan right now, in particular what I'm wondering about is why is this little girl is writing a letter to her mother if she might be dead. I was researching this question online, and a news article caught my attention: Longing for her mother / 4-yr-old girl pens heart breaking letter to missing parent, by Norikazu Tateishi, Daily Yomiuri Online (April 1, 2011). It's a sad story in which a little girl has hope that her parents are alive.

Advisory

Recently in Advisory, we've been studying about the natural disasters in Japan. At first, I thought this study was meaningless and insignificant. When I heard Mr. Allison speak about this issue again, my thoughts didn't change; alter. I know that many people indifferent about this issue. After doing this study, I still think this issue is nugatory to us kids. For example, I heard that Johnson (in our class) argue that this issue is unimportant to us.

One thing that I know for sure about Japan is that many people are homeless and many have passed away. Now I've studied my share of current events and its really useless. I believe that we should stop learning this nonsense and have fun and share our feelings in Advisory class. Personally, it's funny to me how we're using Advisory for its unintended purpose such as work.

This is insane in my opinion. Its just surreal to think that such destruction can happen. I mean, what are the odds that Japan would  get hit by an 9.0 earthquake? I thought that our western state of California would be hit!
