The effects of Hurricane Irma are devastating. In this article, they talk about how the day after the storm, people were left in dark houses, had no power whatsoever, there were trees down everywhere, and they had very little chance of finding gas. There has been a total of twelve people found dead. Like I said in my last week's discussion, this hurricane had very many effects on my family and I as it has destroyed our favorite place to visit. It is so sad to see all these people suffering and just coming to the realization of how bad natural disasters really are. I think that more people should have listened to the state when they called a state of emergency and said it was time to evacuate. Irma impacted nine states with the worst impact being in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

This article talks about the recent investigations of the Las Vegas shooting. The shooting took place on October 1 at a country music festival in Las Vegas. The shooter shot machine guns out of his hotel room where he broke out the windows and shot at the crowd for a reason that still is unknown. The shooter has been identified and after he finished the job, he committed suicide. 58 people were killed in this event and 489 were injured. It was deemed the deadliest mass shooting in the United States. This man had severe psychological problems, although they were hidden from this mans family and friends. He purchased over 33 guns and no one asked any questions. That should have been an automatic red flag. Which is why I believe that guns should be managed more and that one person should not be able to own this many powerful guns.
I loved the idea of having to write about a new current event each week. It taught me so many things that were going on in the world and how they were being handled. I also enjoyed the PBS Frontline videos because they were all so interesting. I learned so much from doing the currents events. It also showed me how to make a longer article much smaller by summarization.
