Over the summer we read the book Finding Someplace. It was an amazing book. In the book there was a girl named Reesie who needed to pack a backpack full of important things to survive. She had to be fast and smart about the things she brought. She had to pack a backpack because hurricane Katerina was going to touchdown in New Orleans. This book took place in 2005. Reesie packed important things to help her stay alive.

If I needed to pack a backpack like she did when a hurricane touched down in her hometown. I would pack useful and important things to me. I would pack an inflatable raft that I could use because it could start to flood and it would be important to have something that you can float on so you don’t drown then I would pack a phone, a phone charger, and batteries to keep my phone charged  I would use my phone to call for help if needed like if i broke a bone. I will also pack a big full water bottle and some money. I would use the money to buy things if needed, then I would have my water bottle to stay hydrated. I also pack a book, a flashlight, and a lot of food that wouldn’t go bad fast. I will use the flashlight when it gets dark out and need it, then for when I have something to entertain myself I pack a book and food for when I get hungry. If I ever get hurt, I have a first aid kit in my backpack too. The next things I would bring are a rain jacket, a change of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a hat. If it rains I have a rain jacket. If I get wet I have a change of clothes. That’s what I would bring in my backpack if I had to pack a backpack in very little time like Reesie did.
