Last year, when the typhoon came went though Taiwan. The heavy rain made the river beside my house over brim. It’s also because the government didn’t built a river embankment well. When the rainfall made the river very strong, the river embankment failure. The river ran in our community, the people who lived in the front of community got the most of trouble just like my family. Almost all of the people’s car got soaked in the water, the scene of many tow truck to assemble to pass in and out is very spectacular. Although that day my family didn’t live in that house so our cars didn’t soaked in water. But the house got drenched with water. The flowers outside all got drowning. The things in frist floor completely annihilated. With the black sand and soil mix with water. Only for sprinkle the water out, eight people used almost the half of day. When we finally clear most of sank, it’s already afternoon. This time we not only spent lots of human resources, we also lost a refrigerator, a wii, some of wood made furniture, a vacuum cleaner, the food in the refrigerator...etc. The condition or effect of a disaster can’t be finish in only one day, so in the second day, we continue our recondition work. We can resist the power of the nature, but we can ask the government to compensate that come into our's own.
what an terrible experience Peggy! such a serious disaster. The types of conflicts in your essay were obvious, I think there are character v.s nature and character v.s society. the character v.s nature is about the conflicts between community and the typhoon. the character v.s society will probably be your family and other people in your community. it's a nice essay though!
ReplyDeleteWow i think that caused a very serious damage, i wonder that is everyone there are all safe, or some people got hurt?
ReplyDeletei hope you guys were all be okay then.
I think is character v. nature. That was a disaster... I think lost a refrigerator is really scary. Cleaning the house after these must be tired and hard, luckily the car was fine. I like the way you wrote your essay, it was clear but still with the details.
ReplyDeletewow that horrible, the conflict is men vs nature. Peggy, your journal is very goood and clear, although you are telling the truth, but i think you still can use some words to make your sentence more plenty, like as..... as, this kind of words also can make your sentence be wonderful, actually this is a good effort.
ReplyDeleteyou are right, people can not against the natural. even though some people will died during the typhoon, but your example shows the influence between people and typhoon and i can see this is a good example
