Discussion:
Foster asks several rhetorical questions about people (like himself) who choose to live in areas prone to natural disasters. Consider the dangers - from nature or from other factors - that have threatened you (or that you think might threaten you in the future) in the place where you live.
Then, write a narrative essay about a danger that you have faced (or might face) in your home or neighborhood.
Response should be 500 words and it should be two pages.
