Black Saturday
Stay or Go? When the inhabitants of bushfire areas are threatened by fire, they have a choice to stay or go: sometimes our environment requires endurance, and sometimes to leave our home is a tragic but necessary event. Write about how you would feel in a similar situation.
I would go.but if i'm 70 years old and lived there for long enough I might stay.As a young person you need to leave and live. As a old person i would stay and try to protect the property because i don't have long way to go.
i dont think i would stay. if my home burnt down, i will leave my house because i will be on fire as well. As kazuma said i am still young so i would leave my home.But if i was old, i will perfer to stay.
I would leave my home becuase i would be stuck in the fire and i dont want to leave my friends and family.but if i was old i would stay at home and go away with my memories.i would help get the fire off becuase i dont want to burn my memories and my habitat.i will help other people who i know and run away far far away.

I think i would go, however i know how attached people are these days to materials things. They want to stay because this house is what they have been building for the last couple of years. Its a hard decision to make, but at the end of the day its better to be alive.
I think I would go but I would take photos or objects that would remind me of the past. I believe that even though the physical landscape of the house is important, the atmostphere that a home creates is more valuable. It will be very hard to excatly duplicate the feeling that exists for the burnt-down house but who knows, your new place could be better than the previous one!:) As long as you're alive you can do whatever you want with your both hands.
The way i choose might be leave , as a young girl that i will have a long way to go! the world outside it's more colourful, stay whatever does bushfire or not i will leave!
I would go. When if your area are threatened by fire, everything will be burnt. So we will lose our home. If we stay, we have to recover everything. But it will take time to recover everything like before. So I would move to new hometown.
Honestly? I would pack the maximum stuffs, values, that i could and get out of here. As long as my family is with me and that we can escape. If my family is trap in there, i would like to go, yeah, but to think that then later you will be all alone, on your own... Na thanks i dont want to. Stay or go? The picture show a tree that cant escape, all alone. well sometimes not every thing can be rescued, even if we want to save everything we all know that it is impossible. In my opinion if we can choose, we should always choose the safest way. And never give up, always fight to live until the end XD, as we are lucky to have the choice so we should think smart and safe.
For me, If I am an old man I would choose to stay as well. Because I think the disaster will happened once in human life. But as i am mature, i would not go, because then we'll have a family in the age between 25-30, I wish to enjoy my life till I am 55 years old I hope so:D. Also i'm young, so like the urban environment, but not rural area. It's more people, more fun.
