When I taught 5th grade the children always read THE BIG WAVE by Pearl Buck, a short story that takes place in Japan. It tells of a boywho lived by the sea, and a family who lived on the hills of a volcano, and a tidal wave, and the philosophy of those Japanese people about the dueling dangers from the volcano and the sea. It is a wonderful story. Japanese artwork about waves are beautiful.
It is not a wonderful reality.
The waves are not beautiful. March 11, 2011
It will continue to happen.
