Animals sensed it. News stations reported it. Then we felt it. With the magnitude of 7.4, the earthquake brought death and destruction to Java.
Of course, since Indonesia is in the ring of fire, we have earthquakes almost all the time, but this one was one that the 6th grade and I think was another great example of nature in action. We had a tsunami warning because, you know, since we are so close to the coast, we would probably have a tsunami, but no. The ocean of which the earthquake was taking place was on the other side of Java, so it was very likely that we wouldn't have a tsunami. Since Jakarta is flat, we had no landslides, but as we moved deeper into the island, were the mountains were, landslide started to occur. This is an enviornment working.
But think of this now, readers. If you put people into the disasterous picture, what would happen then? I'll tell what happened. House were destroyed, inoccent lives were taken, and derbis was tossed. On that note, think about this. If we hang things from the ceiling, for whatever the reason, it could kill us! Those things could rattle and fall, then kill us! This, was what happened when we put people in the picture. This was the earthquake.

You've got good knowledge in your head, Maya, and a great way of presenting your thoughts. Your piece seems to be needing a proof reading though, to bring it to focus. Go back and read your piece orally and see if you can tell what I mean.
