    The quake was capable of igniting raging fires, which broke out in the city and lasted for several days. The flames were quick to spread due to electrical lines and ruptured gas lines. It is estimated that up to 90% of the total damage was the result of the subsequent fires that burned uncontrollably (1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire). San Francisco was utterly destroyed. Around fifty different fires began fuming in San Francisco, and eventually coalesced into a grand firestorm that consumed on the first day all of the central business district, down along Market Street, and later spread to the north and west within the following days.…

    Along with that, a plume of the volcano was blown 80,000 feet in air and rained down 250 miles away in Spokane. The winds blew 520 million tons of ash eastward 2,200 miles across the U.S. in seven states and caused complete darkness in Spokane, Washington, which was 250 miles from the volcano. The blast also wiped out 230 square miles of forestland. With the accumulation of airborne debris, the ash cloud encircled the globe in 15 days. In the end, along with the total land area destroyed, a total of 57 human lives were lost, along with about 7,000 big game animals and 12 million salmon fingerlings in hatcheries (Mount St. Helens – From the 1980 Eruption to 2000).…

    In the short story “Earthquake” by Jack Hodgins the theme is that nature is stronger than man. This has been reminded to the characters in the story violently, through the earthquake of ’46. The narrator notes that “the scariest thing about quakes is that they change the way a fellow looks at the world”. This is reflected in his uncle Toby, when after he witnesses the lake draining, he becomes obsessed, essentially quitting work and tells his story over and over to anyone who will listen.…

    My topic is over The Oregon Trail, it was a 2,200-mile east-west trail that served as a critical transportation route for emigrants traveling from Missouri to Oregon and other points west during the mid-1800s. Travelers were inspired by dreams of gold and rich farmlands, but they were also motivated by difficult economic times in the east and the diseases like yellow fever and malaria that were decimating the Midwest around 1836. The Oregon Trail began in St. Louis, Missouri, in early spring to begin the four- to six-month trek. This would be the last big city most would visit. Settlers loaded wagons and supplies onto steamships to travel 200 miles upstream on the Missouri River, departing when the river began heading north.…

    For this assignment, my group’s topic was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it is prevalent in the novel, ‘Speak’ by Laurie Hall Anderson. My responsibility was to do the facts and statistics slide and to do the two characters that experienced/influenced PTSD slide. While working on the assignment, I did run into some challenges. The biggest being that it was hard to find facts and statistics on PTSD that were Canadian and relatively recent. I ran into this issue because many websites that I found focused more on America, on worldwide facts and statistics, and the information was quite outdated.…

    The third best presentation was Teenage Drinking and Driving by Hayley Breitschuh. She made it very personal by adding the story about the crash at Stoney Creek. It was in the logos style because it gave more facts than stories and it was in the Rogerian style because the other side of the argument is completely wrong. A counter argument would be that teen drunk driving is okay because it was their decision to drink in the first place. The audience it would be for is teenagers and their…
