Today in my compass lab class we read an article named Planet Earth Doesn't Know How To Make It Any Clearer It Wants Everyone To Leave.
This story is silly! In a sarcastic way the Earth is telling us to get off the planet. It wants to kill us because we don't take care of the world. It thinks we treat it like trash and don't care about Earth. Earth wants us to take good care of the planet. All the floods, tornado's, natural catastrophes, tsunami, earthquakes, landslides, rain storms, and winter storms that Earth has made in this planet was because it wants to make sure everyone leaves. Earth says that it has made lots of stuff to us humans to understand to get off this planet. Earth has hoped for us to understand what it's trying to tell us by creating some sort of storm, but we just keep living our life.
I really didn't like this story at all. Thought it was dumb having Earth talk! Story's are story's and they can have a T.V talking if the author chooses to. When Mrs. Seton was reading this story I really didn't pay much attention, but when she went over the story and talked about it I kind of understood. I read it again to do my blog and understand it better. To my understanding, Earth is trying to tell us to take care of the planet or get the heck out! We live in this planet! Therefore we need to take care of our world, clean after our self's, and just be respectful to our planet. Make sure we don't litter. We need to make this world better than what we have it like because its where we live. Its our home! We have to love our planet... Our Home.. Our place.. Our EARTH!
I like how you described your thought process and how you made sense of this article by re-reading. This is a valuable practice to help you break down things that do not make sense the first time you read them!
