Pompeii
Pompeii was a city on the Southwestern coast of Italy. It was a city that was built with so many luxuries that a lot of people wanted to live there and experience perfection. A great earthquake had rattled the city of Pompeii in 63 A.D. The people of Pompeii were devastated that their city was greatly damaged. A few people died, and a few people were very shaken up by the earthquake. The city of Pompeii was in ruins. Buildings and homes had collapsed and were destroyed. The emperor of Pompeii thought it would be best if the townspeople would just abandon the city because it was thought to be bad luck. But the people had too much pride, and they started to rebuild the city immediately. Many people stayed at Pompeii because they thought that since they survived the earthquake, they could survive anything. Other people stayed because they did not want to leave their fortunes of the amazing city behind. The people had no idea that only seventeen years later, they would experience a more deadly and disastrous event.
