Cars Galore!+Cool Stuff

I am going to start out by saying this is the story that we had to write for english. This has really nothing to do with my blog subject.

The story goes as….

My mom lived in Beirut, Lebanon in the late ’60s and ’70s. In 1978 Israel invaded Lebanon. My moms house was in mountainous area around the city of Beruit so the house over looked the city. When the Israeli army got to Beruit my mom, my two aunts, my uncle and my grandparents could see the missiles and bombs that were going off in the city. One day while my mom was in high school the israeli amy came to the school. They ordered everyone to go to the tennis courts of the school. Once everyone was in it they closed it and posted guards around it. Then they moved their tanks into the school. My mom and some of the other high schoolers had to sing songs and tel stories to the younger children so they wouldn’t get scared of the soldiers and tanks. Then the army started firing from the tanks in to the city because the school overlooked the city. The principle of the school which was my mom’s uncle was arguing with the soldiers but they wouldn’t budge. After that whole thing the principle would say to the students that they wouldn’t stop school and that would be the way to protest against the Israelis. When ever the alarm went off that there was an airaid my mom said all the students would get scared including her. Thankfuly the war did end and the school survived.

That is the story that was told to me by my mom.

Thank You for reading!!
