My Coworker Andrena 's Adopted Daughter Ann

Noah and his family entered the ark as God had commanded. After seven days, the waters of the flood were over the earth. All the wellsprings of the great deep burst and the casements of the heavens were opened. (Genesis pg 32) It rained for forty

While interviewing Joni Desnomie, by the way she would talk about the events that occurred I chose not to go through with the interview process. Joni Desnomie is my auntie, growing up with her she talked about going to residential schools and how it was the worse experience of her life. Joni had never had the chance to deal with the events that occurred. She has supressed her emotions towards the school so deep, that when we were talking she started to choke up about the subject. This is a prime example of how much of an impact these schools have on some people and their families. Joni, did not deal with the emotions and while attending the school she had tried to commit suicide numerous times. The scars on her wrists embodies the pain she endured

The flood happen early March of 1867, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It rained for four days non-stop the waters roto 56 feet tall that is taller than CSAS. The north had just won the Civil War. Slavery had just ended. Chattanoogans were being very self-reliant because they didn't want to ask they north for help because they just won the Civil War.

The storm was unbelievable. It would blister your face and put your eyes out. The dirt was steady blowing. It was a giant wall just coming towards them. There was nowhere they could run. If you tried getting out of it, it would just follow you. You can’t escape it. It was a decade long natural catastrophe of biblical proportions. The skies refused their

The individual selected to interview to understand their Life History was Adrian, a twenty-six-year-old from El Salvador. The interview started out with the author asking Adrian for a picture of what growing up was like for him. Though he and the author are often assumed to be Hispanic, only she is, and being Salvadorian is different. Adrian came to the United States when he was very young and lived in New York until about middle school when he moved to Texas. In New York, Adrian experienced more tolerance of his differences in school but expressed facing adversity when moving to Texas. When asked for an example of difficulties, Adrian volunteered that he was called a ‘Beaner’ in school for the first time despite clarifying with the perpetrators. It seemed that he was assumed to be a

The water did not go over the dan but through it because dan could not contain the water that is why water was going over it. As the structure had become soft and it could not support the charge of water and then the structure gave up. There had an explosion in the dan, and most of people in Buffalo Creek were surprising by the flood, the disaster had took so many life, and the houses were gone. The people of Buffalo Creek did not know what they could do to save their loved ones, because the flood was so strong people did not have even the change to evacuate their stuff and even though their loved ones. The flood carried away the entire small village of Sanders with the wave, and the buildings houses, and the structure alike carried with the way. The bodies of people were on the top of water and there had a lot dead bodies everywhere in Buffalo Creek, but despite there had a lot of dead bodies and there had also some serious injuries for those who survived in during the flood. The government had to do something for the people of Buffalo Creek, and department of Housing and Urban Development had to provide housing for the people and giving them the

When a person tells a story about his/her self, it tends to differ to accommodate to the listener. This person wants to entertain the listener and also tell the precise story. Blanca Alvarez the interviewee from Listening is an Act of Love, tells a story of her own experience. Connie says “I was growing up I thought you were running with real coyotes in the desert…” (Isay 110). Connie is the daughter of Blanca who was unaware of what her mother went through to get to the United States. Blanca implies “….we never told you that…because we never want to worry you” (Isay 111). She told her daughter Connie the true story of her coming to America and the struggles faced, as she got older. Blanca and her husband isolated the troubles the family was facing to not “worry” Connie. Blanca accommodated the story of her journey to America to give her daughter less worriment, about the family struggles. As Connie’s parents became older they decided to tell her more of their past stories. Blanca decided to sugar coat her family’s endeavors, to provide her children with a positive outlook. Blanca knew what was the more appropriate to tell her true story to her daughter when Connie was old enough to hear

The father reported that the parents met in 1999, he indicated that they worked together at Mercy Manhasset Hospital. He indicated that the parents dated for two and a half years.

There was a court case, Baby Girl v. Adoptive Couple, in which a child who was partially Cherokee Indian, because of her father, and Hispanic, because of her mother. The adoption of Baby Girl was a difficult one due to the fact that she has an ancestry of Cherokee Indian. Therefore, under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), the adoption of Baby Girl seemed impossible because Biological Father had the right to have custody of his child, Baby Girl, if he chose to. So, the court greatly sees that by giving Baby Girl back to Biological Father would be in the child’s best interest under the ICWA, because there is the assumption that if she is with her Biological Father and her culture, she will not suffer any type of emotional distress. For

That’s when the water started to rise. One day after school, my brother thought he saw someone peeking in from the back door and he called my dad. Both of them tried looking for the man but he was gone. It was like he was observing and waiting for the perfect time to strike.

The North Sea Flood occurred within Saturday, 31st January 1953, and seemed to remain persistent prior to subsiding within the morning of Sunday, 1st February. Regardless of initial concerns regarding a plausible flood arising, citizens within the coastal regions of England and the Netherlands remained ignorant toward constant cautionary aids. The North Sea Flood has been considered as a calamitous phenomenon that has forced detriments upon the citizens that resided nearing the Northern Sea ; coastal areas of Netherlands, England, Belgium, France as well as Denmark. Oblivion toward the aftermath of the flooding resulted within fatalities and varying injuries. This remains as the focal reasoning referring to constant fatalities regarding floods.

At first I thought they were people looking for shelter, but how could they walk over such a massive flood?

Floods play a major role in our everyday lives, and how we react to the daily changing climate is of course our way of surviving our planetary conditions. Floods determine our building styles and play a
