WEEK TWO assignment

1. Write a topic sentence for the article
It is always good to take advice from people who know better, especially if it is a life or death situation.

2. What reading strategies are you doing to understand the hurricane article?
The reading strategy I used to read this article was to discuss it with my brother. I know that if i can explain it to my brother then I understood the story.

3. What details support the story?
"All neighborhoods... and possibly entire coastal communities... will be inundated during the period of peak sotrm tide," the advisory said. "Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single family one or two sotry homes will face certain death."
Who: Residents of Houston, Morgan City and Baffin Bay
What: Hurricane Ike
When: Last Thursday
Where: Texas and Louisiana
Why: It happened because of the weather
How: Because of nature

4. State and give your reflections on the article
I believe that these people who refuse to move are being ignorant. They don't have any reson to stay and they still refuse. Al they are doing is putting thier lives in danger. It seems to me that they are just staying there to protect their houses but since the storm is big and powerful it is still going to ruin the houses.
