427 Words2 Pages
The article for my current event essay is an online news article from CNN written from Ray Sanchez and Greg Botelho on Oct 23,2015. This article seems to be mostly written for the purpose of informing and warning the public of the dangers of the hurricane. "About 15,000 foreign and domestic tourists were moved to shelters in the state of Jalisco, said Jose Maria Tapia, director general of the National Disaster Prevention Center."

The quote supports my theory as soon as Chris Rose starts to question the government’s ability to take the matter into their own hands, to save lives. In the quote, he objectify the victim to show how the government give a lower priority to the poorest people, contrary to the rich.

A Book Review Of Isaac's Storm By Erik Larsen

755 Words | 4 Pages

Book Review: Isaac’s Storm Introduction: Isaac’s Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History, written by Erik Larsen, is a book which may very well be called one-of-a-kind, as it describes one of the most disastrous of the natural calamities of the world-the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the events which precede it. The author has carefully analysed the hurricane, scrutinized the impact caused by the actions of several people prior to the hurricane that ultimately resulted in massive destruction (Larson, 2011). He has pointed out with precision how the wrongful thought processes of that time led to such a tragedy. Review: The author has pointed out the fact that the thoughtless actions of some men are mostly to blame for the tragedy.

In the book A.D New Orleans After The Deluge, By Josh Neufeld is about Hurricane Katrina and how it affected the people of New Orleans. This book was about real people that escaped and lived through the storm. Most people lost everything including their houses, all personal belongings, and jobs. As I was reading the book was shocked that in the beginning most of the characters were not worried about the storm they just wanted to wait it out. No one was expecting such a big storm and thought it would turn east like they normally did.

Brown admitting that he knowingly lied to the public about their being up to the task. On the contrary, the officials had a sense of urgency because the rescue and recovery activities were not progressing as envisaged. From the film, it is clear that while citizens were losing their lives, homes, and other property, federal, state, and local officials and agencies wasted time in meetings, negotiating about who was in charge (www.pbs.org, 2). In its examination of Hurricane Katrina, The Storm does well in reviewing the turbulent history of FEMA, more so from the days following the 9/11 attacks.

How Did Hurricane Katrina Impact Society

1811 Words | 8 Pages

Katrina was the third worst hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, with over 1500 deaths and many critical financial difficulties. Researchers have gathered information about Katrina, and many know about its path through the southern United States, but what most people don’t think about was that Katrina impacted society, positively and negatively, like nothing else could. When Hurricane Katrina hit the southern United States in 2005, it was terribly devastating, “the damage severely frustrated the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama” (Hurricane), and everything that happened afterward impacted the people living there and elsewhere in either positive or negative ways.

The hurricane formed many days before it hit the U.S. and yet there were still over 2000 deaths. Most of the deaths were either people with not enough means to evacuate and senior citizens.

They should have also rescued all the abandoned pets and animals that can’t leave. If I was in the hurricane I would be terrified, seeing all my neighbors house and my house being ripped to pieces and seeing water 20 feet high above the
