The Ashes of August

"The Ashes of August" by Kim Barnes, the whole summary of the essay is about the tense of the month of August, how storms, fire, rain, and sesan change can affect their living. It's really unpredictable. The author address the event to her personal experience and how she overcome it. They survive the fire by the help of the graces of the Clearwater-Potlatch Timber Protective Association, who had sent the helicopter. The envirnoment in the town turn into ashes after the fire was settled down.

I don't know what I would have done if I was in her position, maybe I wouldn't even let my husband go out there, including the helps of my children. Life is unknown, you'll never know what will happen next.
