In term 2 me Thomas and Locke made bottle rocket when we where learning about engineering.

In homeroom we had 15 minutes to write a story about a photo from pobble365. I chose a picture were there was a village and a volcano was erupting behind it and there was lightning lashing across the sky. here is what I wrote. Enjoy!

Red hot lava and smoke filled the dark night sky, lightning lashed

out of the clouds. It was hectic, lava poured down the valley heading towards the village. In the village people were running around and screaming. They gathered there family and everything they could carry ran away from the lava. Lightning started to pound into the village. Houses were being destroyed right in front of the villagers eyes.

Lava started to stream into the village, the villagers were like headless chickens screaming and frantically running around. Then a man came zooming down the volcano in a jeep running away from the lava. When he got into the village he told everyone to run to the other side of the river and they’ll be safe there. So then he ran inside his home grabbed everything he needed told his family to get on the jeep. The lava started to hit the west side of the village.

The man was just coming out of his home but then he got tripped up by a side table and got his foot stuck. He tried to get loose but his foot wasn’t budging. He called to his family and they then came running to him they all grabbed an arm or another person holding on. Then on the count of three they all pulled as hard as they could. The mans foot was nearly out and it came free.

They all hopped in the jeep and the man started the engine and then they had to run from the lava. The lava was creeping closer every second. They could see the river up ahead in the distance. They could also see people screaming and running to the river. They had no time to stop when they went passed someone they would grab them by the arm and fling them up onto the jeep. The jeep was nearly full when they came across a mother and her baby both crying on the side of the road.

They stopped to quickly pick them up. They were getting really close to the river now. But then, BUMP the hit a big rock and tipped the jeep. Everyone hopped out and headed for the river. They were nearly there but the lava was as well. They dove for the river and frantically leaped to the other side. They had made it. Yes! They had all made it.

1. Because the group thinks Salva will just slow them down
2. It makes me feel really sad for Salva, because it would just be sad
    that a group of men would just leave a 11 year old boy with nobody
    to look after him.

    on surviving and keeping up with his group.

She still has to get water.

Q1
Because they think he will slow them down. But also because they aren’t finding enough food sources to feed everyone. I feel that it is selfish but at the same time I get why their first decision was no because there would be to many people to feed.
