Giving my opinion
Title: Lyla
Author: Fleur Beale
Short summary: Lyla has started her second year of high school when a magnitude 6.3 earthquake hits Christchurch. While Lyla's mum and dad are helping out with the mess, Lyla opens up her home to all the neighbours and was leading the community clean up.
Explain why you chose this text: Because this is a very interesting story because it actually happened, and it also makes you appreciate what you have
A quote and opinion of it: This time the noise and shaking seemed to go on forever. 15 seconds felt like 15 years. And when it did stop we were in an alien place full of chaos
Discussion of the ideas in the text: I think that this story is trying to get the message across that some people have life so easy compared to other people. And that the world isn't perfect, and that even though that you feel like all the bad things are happening to you, that you are not the only one. e.g When Christchurch was in the middle of the earthquake, Japan had just also had an earthquake but also a tsunami.
Link the text to other text, the world, you life- The world, because so many places have earthquakes like the one in Japan or even the one that happened in Kathmandu
