Mommyfaithe Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) OOPS...... Wrong Lu and I don't know how to edit the title. This was LU 210 section 2. Sorry. Pompeii, Buried Alive! By Edith Kunhardt Pompeii...Buried Alive is a true story about a small town at the bottom of a mountain. The mountain was really a volcano, but the people did not know that. This story tells what happened to Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius erupted. Pliny was a little boy when Vesuvius erupted. He lived across the bay and he saw the volcano erupt. He saw boats with people escaping. He saw black, smoky clouds and lave, hot ashes and pebbles exploding from the top of Vesuvius. When Pliny grew up he became a writer and wrote about Pompeii. A long time after scientists read Pliny's letters and dug up the buried city of Pompeii. I enjoyed this entire book. It was exciting, interesting and I learned a lot. It reminded me of the ride at Busch Gardens called "Escape from Pompeii.". I think you should read this book to learn all about Pompeii.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I want to read the book after what she wrote! Two mistakes - "When Pliny grew up (needs a comma here). . " "A long time after (needs a comma here too). . ." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
