The day the mountain blew apart

In the subject language throught literature with Vicky Gregov we read a story from the book arriving before i start called The day the mountain blew apart that was about Mount St. Helen that erupted on Sunday 18th May, 1980, after reading this story we did a questionnaire  and we did a little summary. This story is a historical narrative because is a story based on something that passed in reality. fifty seven people died because of this but people were lucky that the eruption was on sunday because if it was at Monday for example all the children that were at school and the people at work would die. Jerry Wheeler and David Johston were there when the eruption occurred, Jerry survived while David died. The eruption occurred because the magma had been rising and pushing inside the mountain, making it expend until it braking point, the forest was totally distroyed, steam, smoke and ashes came out covering everything that was near. Shops, works and schools were closed they said that it looks like a ghost town because everywhere you looked it was dark and covered with black ashes and anyone was at the streets, this eruption also leaved a huge crater on the top of the mountain. After all this catastrophe happened gophers worked like plows bringing the rich soil to the surface, and elk bones help flowers to grow , but the forest is also going to take a long time until it recovers again. For me is a pity because they missed something that will take more than one hundred years to grow back.
