CHOOSE ONE OF THE TWO AND TYPE ON A NEO:

1.  THE JOURNAL ENTRIES start on March 23.  So what happened before March 23? Write three journal entries that come BEFORE March 23. Therefore, they are dated March 20, 21 and 22. You must INFER what happens in the days leading up to the flood and reference what you already know from the text.  For instance, was there a news report predicting the events? Was the author stuck in NY? Did he have a chance to go elsewhere? Was the flood going to affect the whole USA?

2. Write a sequel to the story.  You are the PERSON THAT FOUND THE BOTTLE AND READ THE NOTES. You are able to explain what happened and the current state of the world. You can share personal feelings and experiences as well as newsworthy information. Again, you must INFER what happens and reference information from the text as you determine what happens.
