Final Assessment

Dear Omer,
You did a nice job on this blog even though a lot of it is from your previous book report (which I said was okay). You really need to work on your grammar and your mechanics (capital letters, punctuation). Maybe write first in a Word document, then copy-paste into the blog. That way you could check your mistakes with spell and grammar check.
Anyway you did a good job and finished all the assignments. i like the picture of the village which shows how much damage was done.
Your final grade is 88.
Yours,
Karen Noll Stanger

Dear Diary
 
Approximately one month before the terrible day, the day that the dam burst, I knew  that something terrible was going to happen. Nobody would believe my dream. In the end, I saw it with my own eyes. Today, I am living in Cardiff and I work in a gun factory. I miss all the villagers. One week after the dam burst, I left the village and I never saw them again. Today I am going back to the village, the place where no one believed that something like that could happen.      Maybe, I will find things that I lost there.

the ending

Ivor climbs to the hill with John to see what is happening. He doesn't see anything there, so they go back to the village. When they return to the village, they hear something out there. They go out to see what's happening. They see a big black thing on the dam. They see water coming out from the wall of the dam. Now they know that Ivor's dream has come true. They try to get all the villagers to escape but they don't succeed. The dam bursts and washes all the village away. Everybody dies. Crombie and Pilger escape to China

The author

Michael Evans born in 10 August, 1951 in England.
Ordained as a Priest at Southwark on June 22, 1975, Michael Evans spent some time as an assistant priest, then studied for a Master of Theology degree at the University of London for four years (1975 to 1979) subsequently returning to St. John's Seminary for eight years as lecturer in Doctrine.
During his time within the Roman Catholic Church, Bishop Michael has held many and varied posts, ranging from the chaplain of a convent school to chairman of the Archdiocese of Southwark's Justice and Peace Coordinating Committee.
On 14 February 2003 Pope John Paul II appointed Canon Evans as the third Bishop of East Anglia. He succeeded the Most Reverend Peter Smith, who is now Archbishop of Cardiff. Canon Michael was ordained as the third Bishop of East Anglia at the Cathedral Church of St John the Baptist, Norwich on 19 March 2003.
On his appointment as the new bishop, Canon Michael Evans said: 'I was astonished to be appointed as Bishop of East Anglia, and have a real sense of my unworthiness for this responsibility, but I accepted this new ministry with a joyful though nervous 'yes'. I look forward to getting to know the diocesan family of East Anglia, and to working with my brother priests and deacons as a team dedicated to the ministry of Christ. As I prepare for my ordination, I ask everyone to keep me in their prayers. one of his little books is "A Crack in The Dam" which I read.
