Title: "A Deadly Quake in a Seismic Hot Zone"

Summary:

This author is trying to say that there are a lot of things going on in Haiti and that they do not have anything. They are also saying that since the earthquake came that the had lost everything food shop, houses and buildings. The had a lot of things going on in Haiti during the earthquake they had to fight battles against starvation. The places that they had to indeed fight from starving was in the camp grounds there are only little kids that live inside of them but they are in First Grade. When people donate to Haiti only thousands of them get feed and thousands of them starve because there is not enough money for the rest of them.

Reflection:

I think that is indeed a crazy situation because it is ashamed that people in Haiti are really starving like this. I think people can help out more and donate a lot of money so every one can get feed and not die from starvation. People should think about what's happening to these children's and adults and do everything that can do to help out. Americans can try to put their self's into there shoes and see how it feel to be like them. I think they should check up on the kids because they are in little camping grounds not getting feed at all or not even getting baths they are smelling really bad.

Evidence:

"Everyone pays a small amount, 15 gourd," or a little less than 50 cents, said Guerline Dorleen, 30 sitting on a small chair near the bubbling pot. "Before, this kind of meal would cost 50."

"I put salt in the water and it keeps me alive," he said. "It keeps my stomach calm until i can find something else."

Questions:

What can you do to help?

Where are these earthquakes coming from?

How many died from starvation?
