The “Black Blizzard” from Scholastic Scope is about how a major drought caused a horrible disaster in the middle of the U.S.A. When all of this happened, thousands of animals and people died of suffocation when a 7,000 foot tall wave devoured the area. After that, all of the other stuff just went down hill. All of the crops died because of the major drought, farmers lost money and couldn’t afford their houses they lived in, and they couldn’t care for their family. Then another storm hit and scooped up all of the dead crops and the soil that the crops were in.
The scene concludes with a viciously barbaric slaughter of nearly every character, the frenzy and chaos of the scene replicating the Bacchic fever in Ovid’s
America is very similar to Ancient Rome, but there are several differences. For example, the Roman Empire "fell" and America is still “standing”. Before ancient Rome “fell”, Rome started out as a small settlement of farmers on the Palatine hill. About one hundred years later, Rome became a republic. The Roman Empire started when Pax Romana or Roman peace began in 27 BCE under the rule of Augustus Caesar.
This moment was a whole problem of being uncareful and not thinking about your actions. When the fire that was caused from a tent caused the entire carnival to burn down, everyone that was there was in a moment of grief. This fire could’ve been prevented if they were more careful. bIn Chapter 6, this was stated, ¨An oil heater had been left burning in one of the tents.¨ this fire could’ve been prevented if the person that was in the tent was careful and paid attention to the oil heater and didn't leave it alone.

The text depicts memories from before the collapse but also tells the story of the present day. As the text largely deals with death, memories play an important role as they act as a coping mechanism especially for Kristen who does not have a family around her. However, it is evident from the text that Kristen is thankful that she cannot remember any of the first years after the flu as she avoided the trauma of the deaths and the drastic change in civilisation. “I can 't remember the year we spent on the road, and I think that means I can 't remember the worst of it. But my point is, doesn 't it seem to you that the people who have the hardest time in this—this current era, whatever you want to call it, the world after the Georgia Flu—doesn 't it seem like the people who struggle the most with it are the people who remember the old world clearly?”

The blizzard on January 12, 1888 will forever be known as one of the most disastrous storms in history. The storm earned the name “the children’s blizzard” because so many children lives were taken in this malicious storm. Could something have been done to prevent such a large death toll? Yes.

Sometimes the smallest things have the biggest impact. What was infinitesimal but so widespread that no part of North America was untouched by it? The devastation of Smallpox in the 1700s played a key role in the outcome of the revolutionary war and also in shaping modern medicine and in how we handle diseases. But these medical advances didn 't come without terrible sacrifice. Nearly 30% of europeans living in the Americas during the epidemic would succumb to smallpox totaling thousands.
The scenes occasioned misery among them calamities as the contagion of Smallpox and Measles extended to various hemispheres. With evil being compromised instead of humanity, this led to the wiping away of many people while the atrocity continued to

There are different qualities to people and some of those qualities are made for the leaders of the world.

In “Volcanoes be in Sicily,” Emily Dickinson relates herself to powerful volcanoes, such as Vesuvius, to exemplify the power of her mind. Dickinson states that destructive volcanoes are closer to her in mind than they are physically on Earth, and she views her volcanic mind as being an almost inspirational force. She is proud of her ability to manifest Vesuvius in her mind, knowing that maintaining control as a poet makes her capable of controlling the monstrous powers in her head. Dickinson uses “Volcanoes be in Sicily” not to personify her anger, but to demonstrate the intangible power and control in her mind that makes her, as a poet, stronger than physical sources of power.
