"The day the mountain blew apart"

In the class of Language through literature, with the teacher Victoria Gregov, we read and did activities of the story "The day the mountain blew apart" and so i will talk about that story. Well this story is a Historical Narrative because this truely happened, the people that appears in the story, the things that happens in the story, examples of historical narrative are "Titanic", "The twin towers" etc.

The story happens the 18 of may of 1980, the mount St. Helens erupted and killed a government scientist (David Johnston), fifty-seven people died, all was burned. All the plants and animals of the forest were dead and so on the oxygen was intoxicated so all the persons were inside their houses and the people called the mount "The ghost town". Gophers helped because they brought the rich soil up to the surface and helped the plants to grow and another thing that helped the plants to grow was the bones of the elks. The forest will have to wait a hundred years to grow as it were before the eruption.Here i have an image of the mount saint Helen eruptioning:

In my opinion this was a catastrophe and a lot of people died but is an interesant story.
