I took this photo

Over the summer the whole 6th grade had to read the book Finding Someplace by Denise Lewis Patrick. This book is about a girl named Reesie and her thirteenth birthday was coming up. But she did not know that there would be a Hurricane coming. Reesie lived in New Orleans and Hurricane Katerina (which is a real Hurricane) was heading to there. What will happened?

In Language Arts we had to write a essay about who was the hero in the book. This is my essay:

I think that Ms Martine was the hero of Finding Someplace. I think this because when Reesie came over to Ms.Martines house to pick up her cake for her birthday the storm started to pick up and it was too dangerous to walk back to her house. Ms.Martine let Reesie stay in her house. If Ms.Martine  didn’t let Reesie stay then she would have been stuck in the storm. Ms.Martine also let Eritrea and Dre stay in her house during the storm.

We also had to think about if we were in Reesie’s situation and we made backpacks with everything that we would bring if we had to evacuate our town. So here’s a photo of mine.
