Samoan earthquakes

 Welcome back everybody.

In class we have been learning to compare and to contrast. My reading group have been reading lots of tsunami and earthquake books we have also been reading a class novel called the Canterbury Quake. Yesterday we read a story called the strength of roots it is about a boy who is using his knife to cut branches then a tsunami came and hit him but he clung onto the tree. Today we read a story called The Hungry Wave it is about a girl who had to run from a tsunami and her brother saved her.   

The two man character's in this story are called Ana and a boy the we don't no the name of. They were both caught in the tsunami except a tree saved the boy and Ana's brother saved here.

All of these bad earthquakes and tsunami's in the stories are true stories from Samoa,

there is a difference between these terrible situations because one of them is in the forest and one is in a village.

Many parts of Samoa were affected by this earthquake Samoa, American Samoa, and Tonga.

This earthquake and tsunami badly affected by the 8.1 earthquake.
