For this week's discussion, consider the following:
- What are some functions that are essential to an EOC in your area based on specific threats or challenges your community might face? For example, if you live in a coastal area, your EOC may need to be prepared for hurricanes and mandatory evacuations or if you live in areas prone to wildfires, you might have different essential functions.

Assignment task 3: 150 words minimum (MLA)
After reading this week's assigned literature as well as the online learning resource entitled "Style, Tone, and Mood," respond to one of the following prompts:
1. Tone: What one-word adjectives would you pick to describe the tone in each of this week's three assigned stories? List those three words in your main response (you can list more than three if you want). Then, defend your choices by discussing specific dialogue, word choice, or description in these stories that helps convey their respective tones.
2. Style: Provide a specific example of each week 4 author's writing style by selecting a specific sentence (or, specific words/phrases) from each story that you think best illustrates each author's distinct style. Then, discuss the following: how does each author's style best suit the content of the specific story they're telling? How do you think one of these stories might be different if told by one of the other week 4 authors? Explain.
3. Mood: Make a 3-song soundtrack playlist for any of the assigned stories we have read this week (it could be one song for each of the three stories, or three songs for one story). List the title of each song you've chosen, the name of the artist, and provide a brief description of why you chose the songs you did, meaningfully connecting each song's lyrics or music to a relevant theme, event, or mood in the story.
