Isabella is at the Haggle deciding what sack she should choose out of sack one and sack two. In Sack 1. There is a snorkle,spear gun,ipod,gemstone necklace,a guitar and a tube of toothpaste. Sack 2. There is a deck of cards, 7 cans of peach slices,a life jacket,bow and arrows, binoculars and  a water filter.

Sack 1 the snorkle wouldn't be very useful as the water is all mirky and you wouldn't be able to see out of it. they also have the spear gun to kill animals as food but it would get really heavy.an ipod would not be helpful as it would run out of battery fast. The Gemstone necklace would not be helpful as it does not do much. The Guitar could be used as entertainment. The tube of toothpaste  would be good as you could have nice clean teeth but the flood water is dirty so it would not be very helpful.


Sack 2 the deck of cards could be used as entertainment for the kids, 7 cans of peach slices would be good as a healthy fruit but they would get heavy. a life jacket would be very useful if they drown in the flood water, bow and arrows would be good as you would be able to kill animals as food, binoculars would be good to see things far away like an enemy a water filter would be good for nice clean water.

I think Isabella Should choose sack 2 as there are more items in there that are useful than sack 1.
