The Beautiful Laughing Sisters
Before I read this story, the title was very interesting and I thought it will be about sisters that get well known for making fashion. Once I read the article I was suprise that it was not about fashion but about these two sisters and their family escaping war ravage Pakistan and going to the United States. I was pretty amazed by the story about how they survived a refugee camp and other horrbile things. I think that the story was very interesting.
Senate Majority Leader Backs Health Care Plan
Before I read this article I was interested about the title about the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid backing President Barack Obama's health care plan. After I read it I thought it was a big step for Obama's health care plan because Senator Reid is a powerful person with alot of influence in Congress due to his title of Senate Majority Leader.

After I read it I was really interested how Men and Women are both very different when asking for directions, it said that Women are less embarresd to ask for directions then Men, who can get embarresd when asking for them.

Earthquakes Rock South Pacific
WHO: South Pacific
WHAT: Earthquakes
WHEN: Yesterday around 6:00PM
WHERE: South Pacific, northwest of Vanuatu
WHY: Earthquakes
HOW: Earth plates smashing into each other
Before I read this article I was interested in how many earthquakes have hit around the Pacific Ocean and Asia. I already know that earthquakes are deadly and can be deadly, it can be even more deadly if it happens under the ocean because it can create a tsunami, just like a few weeks ago around Samoa and American Samoa, where a tsunami killed around 100 people. After I read the article I was pretty amazed at how strong the earthquakes were, they measured around 7.1. I learnt that peoples lives were saved because there was a tsunami warning system nearby that warned them of a small tsunami.

WHO: California
WHERE: south California

WHY: unknown reasons just yet
HOW: wildfire
When I saw this article I was very interested in it due to California having been known for having wildfires mainly in the summer. I wanted to learn how it started and how are the authorities are trying there best to try to stop it. After I read this article I read that the wildfire that the firemen are fighting is in southern California and is getting pretty close to Los Angeles. The authorities are evacuating residents that are dangerously close to the fire. The article said that 4,000 people live near the fire, with 1,000 people trying to evacuate. The authorities have opened evacuation centers for the people that will not have a house. The authorities are investigating how the fire started and have not announced yet when the evacuees can go back home.
