 * Comments: Could make the graph a little bigger so it is easier for people to read. Like that you should how animals were affected as well and not just what the town looked like when the fog hit it. Good job! I liked it but it needs more information but good work.

Had good information on the smog, didn't really define which bullets were for what main subject point though. Overall nice job and good pictures.** graph gives goood information in how deaths are related to smoke but wat is the dockey doing it dose not realy relate to smoke and death so i think you should get rid of it and put some thing else
