My Backpack

Over the summer I read the book Finding Someplace by Denise Lewis Patrick. Finding Someplace is about a 13-year-old girl living in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit. In the book, Reesie, the main character, has a backpack full of all the stuff that she needs to survive Katrina. Sadly, the backpack gets stolen and she loses everything.

If I were Reesie during Katrina, I would definitely bring my iPad and charger, so that I could communicate with the outside world. I would also bring money, a flashlight, books to keep me busy if I had to wait, and lots of extra water and food. If I had extra room, I would get some of my favorite toys and objects to bring along if they were not too big.To finish off, I would bring a life jacket and an umbrella. I think I would be prepared if a hurricane as powerful as Katrina came to Durham. That is everything I would need in my backpack!
