         <description><![CDATA[<div>I chose this book because it is about a real event and will be easier to understand and make connections to. I think the plot of the book is interesting and I already have background knowledge on the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake so it is not an entirely new subject.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My book has two opening lines because before every chapter is an excerpt of another book written by one of the characters Mary Exa. The opening of Mary Exa's writing creates suspense as she says that even two years before the earthquake she would feel earthquake shocks. The second opening line, of the regular book, creates a calm and neutral tone as the narrator starts her day off the same as she does everyday. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>On page 11, Edith, one of the main characters, tells her mother, "I've reached my decision. Daisy will be my escort." The decision she is referring to is who will accompany her on her trip around Europe. This is important because it is the reason that Daisy was on the boat in San Francisco and why she was caught up in the Earthquake. This statement sets up almost the whole book. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In chapter 3, their boat is about to dock in San Francisco when the Earthquake hits. They see buildings fall and other boats sink as their own boat begins to sink. Thankfully, the boat was able to dock safely and the captain says anyone who wants to stay on board can stay on board and anyone who wants to leave can leave. Daisy and Edith try to stay on board as Edith's father leaves to go to City Hall, but a crowd of people try to get off the boat immediately and the girls get pushed along with them off the boat. This scene sets up the rest of the book by showing the chaos of the Earthquake and how little control citizens had over what happened to them.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think the thematic concept of this book is family. In the book Edith is determined to find her father who got separated in the chaos right after the earthquake. Daisy and Edith also find people who help them during the aftermath of the Earthquake who at the end of the story say is their family now. After Daisy and Edith get back to their house Edith's family invites Daisy to eat with the family because they do not consider her their servant, but their family.<br>I would say the thematic statement of the book is to look for family even when you can't find yours. After Daisy and Edith lose Edith's father on their way to city hall, they find a grocery store owner, his wife, and one of their employees and help the owner who is buried in some of their groceries. They stick together for the rest of the story with the grocery store owners neighbors and say that all of them are family because of what they went through together and that without them they might not have survived.</div>]]></description>

When two nurses arrive and inject them with something the girls learn they are injecting them with poison. It is ironic that poison is being used to help firefighters when it would typically be used to hurt or kill someone.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The dialect in the book is very formal. It is formal because it takes place in 1906 and people in 1906 used formal language in almost all settings because they believed it was important to show respect to anyone they were around and thought it was impolite to use informal language.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Page 76 says, "Let's stay together' was my quick reply. My heart soared as it had the first time she's asked me to read aloud in her classroom. I was eleven then, and newly arrived from Carson Hill. My father knew Mr. Irvine from the mines and they had agreed I needed schooling and that I was old enough to earn my keep. I was given an alcove in the Irvines' attic, numerous chores, and late night tutoring by a patient, soft hearted Edith. Now she was saying<em> she</em>&nbsp;needed <em>me.</em>"<br>I know this is a flashback because the narrator is fifteen when the story takes place, but she is eleven in the flashback.&nbsp;<br>This flashback shows how Edith and Daisy became attached to each other because they do not want to be separated and provide each other with a sense of safety. It helps build up to when the Irvines invite Daisy to eat at the table with them because they say she is family now, not their servant. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Page 103; "Strychnine." -Nurse<br>This line is  powerful because the nurse is telling Daisy and Edith what she is injecting into the dying firefighters. Strychnine is a type of poison and she gave it to them to relieve their pain so they could go back into the fire even though their skin was melting to their coats. It shows just how horrible the earthquake was that they had to use poison to help people.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I can connect this book to the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. On February 6, 2023 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the same magnitude as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, hit  Turkey. The death toll is about 47,000 and continues to rise as Turkey and Syria still feel aftershocks today. (February 23)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I can connect this book to the real letter that Mary Exa wrote about the earthquake. Mary Exa was one of the characters and she met Edith and Daisy after her employer was stuck under some groceries and his wife called for help. In her letter there are many references to things that happened in the book such as the Somers' and their grocery store and babies being born in Golden Gate Park like Molly's kid, April. Throughout the book you can see excerpts from her letter placed before each chapter starts and the letter helps build the suspense in the and foreshadows many things happening in the book since the book is based on her letter.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One allusion in the book is when John Barrymore is talking to Daisy. John Barrymore was a famous actor in 1906 and is still very well known today. He is also the grandfather of another famous actor of more modern times, Drew Barrymore. Drew Barrymore stars in many huge films such as E.T. and Charlie's angels. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Why did Daisy try so hard to get on the Susanna even after everything that happened?<br>Daisy wanted to make it to the Susanna because she had been dreaming of a trip like this for years and knew that if she didn't get to go on the trip now then she would never get to go on the trip since she was only Edith's escort. Daisy knew that Edith's family could afford to buy Edith another trip, but that she most likely wouldn't be accompanying Edith on the trip and would miss out on so much. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Part of Edith's character is that she doesn't want anyone or anything to be forgotten. She thinks it's important to remember all events and all people even if they were bad. This is shown on page 43 when Daisy and Edith see four horses get crushed by a wall and Edith takes a picture and says she doesn't want them to be forgotten. The narrator says, "I was beginning to understand what photography meant to Edith. It was her way of saving things. It was a way to push aside her sorrow." Edith has always loved photography and Daisy is starting to realize she loves it because it is her way of remembering things when she can't fix them.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In chapter 4, a man is trying to take pictures of the aftermath of the earthquake, but was stopped by police. This event is important because Edith is also a photographer and wants to take pictures so people know what happened in San Francisco and so the earthquake and the victims won't be forgotten. It also sets up more events later in book where the government and other officials force people out of their safe homes and prevent them from being able to get the supplies they need. This is seen on page 46 when the characters see a sign that reads, 'SEWERS BLOCKED. DON'T USE TOILETS. EPIDEMIC THREATENED. OBEY ORDERS OR GET SHOT.'&nbsp;Although the sign is there for people's safety, it shows how the government neglected the situation and only prevented possible problems instead of solving current ones because they were afraid of of losing money if tourists were given a reason not to go to San Francisco.</div>]]></description>

The girls are worried the firefighters are dead and call for a doctor. They see that the firefighters sink is melted into their jackets. When nurses show up and give the firefighters a shot Daisy and Edith think they are going to help the firefighters, but the nurse says she is injecting them with poison so they won't be in pain and can go back out to the fires. This shows just how desperate the city was that the only way for them to help their firefighters was to poison them. It helps show the desperation of all the people of San Francisco and the terror that the earthquake caused.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The mood of my novel is very sorrowful and scared/confused. The mood is built when the earthquake hits and the passengers of the ship watch as the city literally falls to pieces. Throughout the book there is more sorrow as the protagonists find a crushed bassinet, dead horses, and firefighters with their skin melted into their jackets. The book is full of loss and sorrow, staying true to what really happened during the 1906 earthquake.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>On page 52, the characters read a sign being nailed up by a soldier. The sign is from the mayor and says that no one is allowed to loot any places and soldiers will kill anyone who tries to. This is ironic because as said by Mr. Somers, the mayor is a known looter, but is telling other people not to loot. This is also ironic because later on in the book Edith is trying to photograph some of the wreckage and sees a group of soldiers looting a shoe store through her camera.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In chapter 11, the group learns they must leave their camp behind the grocery store because they are going to be using dynamite to blow up parts of the city to stop fires from spreading. This is ironic because explosions use fire and heat to ignite. It is also ironic they are causing damage to the city to prevent damage.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Page 175; "City Hall is gone." -Thomas Irvine<br>This line is powerful because City Hall had been a very important part of the story and the characters lives. Documents for their businesses were there which were now destroyed along with proof that they were their businesses. City Hall was also important because it is the reason Edith and Daisy got separated from Mr. Irvine when he went looking for it. The girls spend many chapters trying to find City Hall, and hearing it was gone and they were looking for nothing the whole time is very shocking.</div>]]></description>

The fires had caused just as much if not more damage than the initial earthquake and forced so many people out of their homes, and finally, as the speaker said, it's over.</div>]]></description>

It is also partially foreshadowing the later death of one of the protagonists Molly, who was pregnant at the time of the earthquake and gave birth in Golden Gate Park, but died a few days later.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I can connect this book to the ring of fire. The ring of fire is an area along the coast of the Pacific Ocean where a large of amount of underwater volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. California is located in the Ring of Fire and has many small magnitude earthquakes. In the opening part of the book, an excerpt from Mary Exa's 30 page letter about the 1906 earthquake says that she had felt small earthquakes the whole two years she had lived there. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Since this book is about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, I can make a connection between the book and this event. The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake took place on April 18, at 5:13 am and was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The earthquake killed over 3,000 people and caused about 2.7 billion dollars today in damages. </div>]]></description>

The Sunset Magazine still exists today and is still publishing newspapers.</div>]]></description>

This book is about two time traveling siblings who time travel back to 1906 and have to survive the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, the same earthquake as the one in my book. It has similar plot lines focused mainly around simply surviving the earthquake and there are mentions of Golden Gate Park which is where a large part of my book takes place. </div>]]></description>

He tells her that it sank and starts singing a famous folk song called Oh Susanna. This song was very well known in 1906 and still is today, so it is referencing a famous piece of music.</div>]]></description>

The nurses didn't want to see them suffer, but there simply were no other options.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>A part of Daisy's character is that she is very empathetic and caring towards other people. On page 123, a mother in Golden Gate Park is looking for her daughter. She says, "Her name is Lucy. I've looked and looked, but I can't find her.... I can't find her anywhere.... I...." Daisy immediately runs and embraces the mother crying. This shows that Daisy is empathetic and can put aside her own troubles to help people when they need it.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Why did the government not want people to take pictures?<br>The government didn't want people to take pictures because then the public would see the true horrors of what happened. At the time of the earthquake, San Francisco was a huge city with a huge tourist population, and if people saw just how bad the earthquake was and how horribly it destroyed the city, then they wouldn't want to visit San Francisco and the city would lose money. People who had pictures of the event would be able to show them to people and they would see the real story of what happened, so the government forced people to stop taking pictures.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>At the beginning of the story we learn that Daisy is fifteen years old and has been living with the Irvines for the last four years to get an education and work for them. In 1906, a fifteen year old was seen as an adult, but now we know fifteen year olds are still just children. Daisy tries to be mature throughout the story and is very independent, but on page 69, after a scary encounter with a soldier while looking for city hall, Daisy, Edith, and Mary Exa realize they've been going in circles. When Daisy sees Mrs. Somers, she immediately runs into her arms crying. This shows that even though she tries to be mature, Daisy is still a child and she is immature.</div>]]></description>
