I have recently read the book "The Great Fire". it is a book about how the great fire started and the stories of how people were affected by it. it was started when a man saw smoke and fire from a barn. he ran to it to save the animals in it. these fires continued due to the drought, which meant days without rain which caused the land to be hot and dry. they had houses and buildings made out of wood so when a fire would start, it would spread. This caused the great fire. the first reason why i liked this book is because it teaches people on how the great fire happened and how to prevent it. the second reason why i liked this book is because it is entertaining but, sad in many ways. the final reason why i liked this book is because it teached me something i didn 't know and it adds to my knowlege. This is why i liked this book. …show more content…
