Hurricanes: A Heroic Analysis

At three am in the morning men came into our house. They told us, we had to do as they said. My father and oldest brother refused to abide by these rules and tried to stop these men. Thus, my father and eldest brother were shot and killed. My mother, sister, and I were made to get in the back of a truck while, my other brother was loaded into another. These men had power and control over us and there was nothing we could do to change that without being killed. I would never see my father, or two brothers again after that night. Thus, my mother, sister, and I were sent to a concentration

Hurricanes are natural disasters that can devastate life and property. Hurricanes have been known to destroy just about everything in its path leaving difficulties and hardship for those affected. Hurricanes require thorough knowledge and preparedness. Information such as how they are formed, where they are formed, the different categories and what effects they have on everything, preparedness, and relief efforts is important to knowledge of hurricanes. They are giant tropical storms over the warm moist waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the equator with strong winds that can grow speeds of over 160 miles per hour. The winds move in a counterclockwise direction north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator. When the winds in the rotating storm reach 39 mph, the storm is called a "tropical storm." And when the wind speeds reach 74 mph, the storm is officially a "tropical cyclone," or hurricane. The peaceful center of the hurricane is referred to as the eye. It is very calm and clear in the eye, with very low air pressure. Higher pressure air from above flows down into the eye. Hurricanes that remain over waters of 79 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer, can potentially pull moisture from the surface and grow larger in size and force. When in warm waters, the more energy can be extracted during condensation, and the stronger the storm grows. When a hurricane crosses cooler waters or land, it tends to lose its source of force, and its wind gradually slow until

Kate Chopin implies in the selection, "The Storm" that the setting and the plot reinforces each character's action, but only two characters exemplify the title itself, Calixta and Alcee. The storm becomes the central element of Alcee's unrequited love for Calixta and ultimately the instrument of their forbidden love to each other. Hurston concurs in the "The Storm" that a forbidden relationship can become a cancerous love and silent death sentence.

The U.S. Soldiers eagerly came to our territory. The U.S. Soldiers went to the Cherokee leaders and use force to hold them down with guns.At this point everyone knew that something was wrong. More U.S. Soldier started to come and were holding many Cherokee down. I saw that some of the soldiers were hitting people with their guns and shooting them. A soldier's saw me and started to chase me. I tried to run away from him and going into the forest because it will be harder for him to look for me. I almost made it to the forest, but then a soldier came out of nowhere and tackled me down. Then both soldiers started to punch me because I was resisting to get captured. Once I got up I heard both soldiers saying that we were bloodthirsty because we

In the movie “The Hurricane” directed by Norma Jewison topics such as racism and injustice are covered. In the movie you can tell even the most strong minded willful and determined people are still corrupt by these hardships.

In the book Another kind of Hurricane it starts out with Henry and Wayne and they are running up the mountain and racing each other with the dog and using the dog as a starting line. They were making bets. They did this every morning before sunrise and they ran all the way until the sun rose. Henry always lost the races but he always tried anyways. They did this all the way up till Wayne died in a horrible accident.

Hurricanes are destruction, they are brutal, they are the epitome of devastation. Hurricanes are synonymous with damage, but so is Sherman Alexie. In The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, the damage imposed on today’s Native Americans is traced back to the infamous year of 1492. The pain we caused, the genocide of culture, of people, of opportunity, of safety, still lingers today. We shudder about the past, we regret what we had done, and we forget. We are blind to our current Native American population.

A woman's happiness and success during this era is often dependant on the male or husband of the marriage. During this era, Chopin displays to us in both her short stories "The Storm" and "The Story of an Hour" of how reliant women are in their relationship and lives. Women during this era were heavily looked down upon. They were looked so down upon that even the women themselves would look down on themselves resulting in more reliant on the men for their success in life. The women during this time era would be so reliant on men they would do much for the men despite whether they had loved him or not. Chopin many times wrote her short stories with women in marriage with men just for the benefits of living and success rather than love; a “vignettte exploring female desires that cannot be fulfilled in marriage, a common theme for Chopin.” (Brantley 1). During the 19th century, both men and women weren't seen as equal at all. Another push to being reliant on men is government rules and policies of men being the more stronger party of the marriage, relationship, or family. Men were seen as the “better” sex so then women were more reliant. Women had to depend on men to supply them in order to live a healthy lifestyle. Kate Chopin displays this highly in her two short stories as the two women seem really reliant on their male counterpart. The two women shows signs of weakness while their male counterpart were away.

The Great Hurricane of 1938, or known to many as the Long Island Express, was known as one of the most disastrous hurricanes to hit New England. It wasn’t the high winds, heavy rain, and high waves/storm surge that gave this hurricane its title in history. The Great Hurricane had a fourth deadly weapon; the element of surprise. It was the beginning of September, a time where many packed up their summer clothes, boarded up their houses, and left to return back to the real world leaving their summer homes behind. When symptoms of a storm approached New England, many locals convinced themselves and others that it was just the normal “line storm” which occasionally comes in September. It wasn’t until Sept 21 that people realized the so-called

The tropical cyclone kept moving towards northwest at the same time its circulation gone slower. Less wind shear in the middle with warmer ocean waters were the perfect environment for Gaston to became a hurricane again around 03:00 UTC on August 28. Even it became a hurricane, it kept getting more intense and turned into a Category 3 hurricane which made him the first major hurricane of the 2016 hurricane season of the Atlantic basin. Hurricane Gaston was really powerful, for instance when it made up its peak, it was producing winds with speed of 120 miles (195 km/h. Cold surface currents with dry air environment took off Gastons power on August 29. But, Gaston got strong one more time while producing winds with speed of 120 mph (195 km/h)

A hurricane is a tropical storm that has winds of 74 miles per hour or

Our team of meteorologists and seismologists from Purdue university have realised that Illinois is at a high risk for hurricanes. We should worry about hurricanes because of the aftereffects like rain and high winds can affect states that are farther away from the coast. The probability of a hurricane in Illinois is very low however there was a hurricane in florida that just hit about a week ago. One reason this issue needs to be addressed is how and where these storms are formed. Hurricanes occur in areas that have intensely low pressure, and are mainly fueled by water vapor from the ocean. According to Weather Questions.com, “ The low pressure causes wind to begin to spiral inward toward the center of the low. These winds help to evaporate
