I have to write a two page report on what the day of the mt. vesuvius eruption!?

well based on recent eruptions the reactions of the people near by acted about the same. If you read about the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, Pinatubo, or another recent eruption you can get a good idea of what to write for your 2 page report. It's not hard. I remember those days of only having to write a 2-3 page report instead of 15-20 lol.
