Journal Entry #4

Todays reading was on the spot. It had a lot of small details and the format of how they wrote it made it feel like the story was written by the people. It was nice how they put even a part about funds coming in from everywhere and all the support starting to come in by different people. It was also astounding how all the people worked together. Usually, the people wouldn't react so soon to recover everything but in this strange case, they recovered a ton even in 3 days. When I was reading this, the first main thought that went to my head is how the Japanese people survived their earthquake. Their earthquake was a non comparable tragedy. I just hope that in the future, that people find a more  efficient way to defend ourselves from earthquakes and other natural disasters.

  5. History is so much more powerful when we can connect it to something in the present moment, no? Excellent job connecting Kodiak's past and the reading to a powerful recent current event.
