I-Search+by+Bradley

by Bradley I know that a couple of months ago a very large earthquake hit Haiti and caused massive damage in the main parts of it. Many were killed and very badly wounded. After this earthquake many were found weeks after in the remains. Most were found alive while some were found dead or very close to it. Many Americans as well as other countries tried to help this little country in their time of need. Many people donated a lot of their money to Haiti in order to help them get through this major crisis. When did this earthquake take place? What is going on in Haiti now? Are people still being found or is everyone found? Are people still donating to help? Where did all the survivors go? Approximately how many people died? What rank was this earthquake? Is this a sign of more disasters like this to come? // When I started doing research on on the internet about what was going on in Haiti after the earthquake I learned that many people died and were still being looked for. I thought to myself if it has been a couple of months since the earthquake and people are still being found this must have been a big earthquake. I also thought that this is causing many families to be very worried but still have hope since the officer // s are going to help them. I learned that alot of people are still donating alot of money to help the Haitians. Based on that I learned that people aren't all that cruel when people are in need. Another thing i researched was how much money was donated so far. They donate approximately 500 million dollars so far. IN one of the books I read it talks about life before the earthquake. People were very poor before the earthquake along with after. Haiti is a very poor country. Some people were donating to help them back then too.The 2 people that I interviewed were serious gamers that knew a lot about games and game programs. I asked them about about advice about game programs. They spoke about programs that are used for long time instead a short period. One of the programs they talked about was scratch. This is a long time period game program that takes longer time than we had. After the earthquake many of the people who were in the upper class became poor. I also learned from the book that the middle class there wasn't like the lower class in America. IN the newspaper article I read it talked about happened due to the earthquake. Due to the earthquake one of the main cities were destroyed causing people to be stuck in the rubble and starve. Also a lot of people are still being found dead and alive. What I found interesting was that right after and during the earthquake the citizens went into haywire causing more people to die but not because of the earthquake. Panic can cause people to do things that they never thought of doing. Before I did any research I thought that this earthquake wasn't a big deal. Now after all the research the I have done I have realized that this was a serious issue. Many people have died and or lost everything they had. They had to use the materials they find in order to survive. People were poor before the earthquake and their lives were bad. Now after the earthquake their lives are even worse. All the resources they had were gone. They had to start all over again. This earthquake was in a big city too. One of the main cities in Haiti. This earthquake changed the way people thought of Haiti. Before this earthquake there hasn't been one for the longest time. Now all of a sudden this earthquake occurs. This can be a sign of things to come and can possibly be a sign of 2012

//I learned that people still care for those in need and are not as cruel and i thought. I also learned that panic can cause the unpredictable. Many people are doing everything they can to help them. I thought this earthquake wasn't that much of a big deal but I was wrong. This earthquake is a really big deal. This earthquake could be a sign of many more things to come. Not just in Haiti but around the world. Haiti didnt have an earthquake for the longest time and then all of a sudden it happened. Ths shows that the world is unpredictable and you must be ready for anything to come. //
