living through the San Francisco earthquake.
My name is Daniel Cash I live with my two sisters in a little house just four blocks down from Oak street.....my younger sister is only 4 years old her name is Mary,and my older sister she's only 2 years older than me and her name is Elizabeth.Our father died when i was born ,we hardly ever saw our mother,she has to work two shifts to feed the three of us.It was a normal summers day when we started felling little tremors in the ground but that was normal sense we lived in this kind of area....I was in the house with Mary when we started to hear screaming coming from the streets after a few moments of silence we heard a big loud crash and then our whole house was full of smoke.I fell flat on my back after the dust cleared and started to search for Mary i had thought that she had hid in her room after hearing the loud crash......suddenly the ground began to shake again and I fell on my face.I could hear a scream coming from the other side of the room it was Mary yelling my name,I followed her voice sense another cloud of dust had swept through our house and as I felt a hand grab mine the ground began to shake again and again......and well again. until finally i just rolled up into the a little ball and prayed for my life,I knew i couldn't worry about Mary right now I had to worry about my self.You know how they say you see your life flash before your eyes before you die well thats just what happened to me I thought about how my dad would have been if I had the chance to meet him,or the time my sisters and I went swimming in the ocean i saw alot of things but the thing that really surprised me the most was that i never had any good memories about my mom.I guess i didn't really get time to get to know her any better than I do now,but that wasn't the issue at the moment.After what felt like an eternity but was really a few minutes the earthquake was over I tried to pick myself up but being on the ground for so long during that earthquake made me a little loose in the legs.Finally I picked my self up and started to look for Mary,a few moments later i heard a voice yelling my name "Daniel Daniel!" it sounded like Elizabeth and Mary! I brought my self to look outside to find the source of the yelling.....it was Elizabeth and Mary I saw the two of them running at me and trying to hug me so i went ahead and hugged them back.We looked at each other and laughed i don't really know why we were laughing but i guess after you are in a life or death situation you need something to laugh at."Is that all you want to hear?" "Well sir you have lived through three centuries don't you have any other stories that you'd like to tell us?" "did i mention i was on the Hindenberg when it blew up?".

New Law
I have put a lot of thought into this and when i was asked about having a law made by me i really didn't understand i mean how many times do you hear from your teacher "ok class now i want you to tell me what kind of law you would like to be passed" anyways i thought about how many schools aren't able to have recess or can't have art programs because of taxes and what not well not exactly taxes but school funds.So having lunch and math class to think about the subject,and I couldn't help imagine what it would be like if my school didn't have recess or art and P.E. and music.I really think that the people that tax us when we pay enough money in the first place, I mean really Wal-Mart is always saying how there prices are low if you want to buy 20$ worth of food but at Wal-Mart its like 50$ worth if food all im saying is that the Goverment should lower taxes and i know that most of the people reading this are thinking that peopl have already talked about the issue but no one has done a thing about it.Thats why i think that they should be lowering taxes instead of making them higher. so thats my law, and go ahead and......don't listen to the people that are always trying to change things and i don't mean the people that make new cars that have nicer leather seats, i mean the people that actually try to change something.

Investigate 4.
Before we poured the water on the soil it looked dry not extremely dry but still dry.After we poured the water on the soil it had little paths running through it and a small pool of water at the bottom of the tub so anyways thats is how the two stages of soil looked different.
