  1. Pompeii modern and ancient day By: Sophie Osburg

  2. Why are people interested in Pompeii? • There are many reasons people might still live in Pompeii or be interested in it. • Maybe they are studying the ancient history of he people and there culture. • Maybe they aren't even aware of the volcano (which is unlikely) and the city. • It could be they are keeping traditions • There ancestors could’ve lived there before. • Maybe they think it is safe to live there. • They might not be able to afford a very high quality place of living.

  3. Pompeii (modern day) • People live there like nothing ever happened. • Most people live about 8 miles away from the volcano (not very far if an eruption happened again). • The last eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano was in 2009. • Think about this: do you think you would take the risk of being an addition to the city “buried” in time. • After the first eruption Mt. Vesuvius has erupted more than 50 times.

  4. Ancient life • A short time before sunset the people had dinner. • They ate things such as olives and eggs, and if they could afford it, thing such as fish, meat, and cake. • They didn’t have much entertainment. • The streets there weren’t safe so they went to bed early.

  5. The story of Mount Vesuvius • In Pompeii, Italy Pompeii is referred to as the lost city, do you know why? • Around A.D. 79 Mt. Vesuvius erupted. • The people, unaware, all died. • It killed hundreds and buried the city. • It wasn’t the lava that killed them, yet all of the layers of smoke and ash erupting with it. • Today we are still studying the “lost city” and have only discover little about it.

  6. Life Today (in Pompeii) • People there don’t have BIG fancy homes. They live in small houses and usually share homes with other people. • They sometimes gather for a big group meal. Kind of like an average dinner with bread and other dishes. • There way of entertainment is music. They can’t just plop down on a couch and start watching T.V.

  7. Point’s of view • I am doing both point’s of view, me as a reporter at Pompeii and the people living in Pompeii. I will be shown as I and the other people will be P. • I: What is it like living in Pompeii, is it scary going to bed thinking the volcano could erupt? • P: No, We usually just go to bed. I have never really thought about the volcano. I play some music then go to sleep. • I: Is playing music your main source of entertainment? • P: Yes. • I: do you play music in a group of people. • P: Well, sometimes. At dinners we usually just have one person play. • I: Well, thank you for your time.
