Pipin's Escape And Katrina Similarities

On August 29, 2005, the third strongest storm ever documented in America, Hurricane Katrina, hit the coast of Louisiana at 125 miles per hour. However, the real horror came when the levees breached, causing New Orleans to fill up like a bathtub. Gary Rivlin discusses the racial, political, and geographical change of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in Katrina: After the Flood. Gary Rivlin is a journalist and author of five books His many works have appeared in a multitude of places, such as The New York Times Magazine, Mother Jones, GQ, and Wired. Rivlin was born in New Woodmere, New York, therefore he had no connection to New Orleans. Most of his

Graphic novels have the ability to portray multiple perspectives and can cleverly represent as many groups an author believes is needed. What becomes the decision of the author is which perspective deems more important or more fascinating. Depending on which the author decides to portray, there tends to be different effects on the readers. Neufeld uses Scott’s Mccloud’s ideas from Understanding Comics, such as adding detail to a character to differentiate them from the reader in order to induce certain emotions. The perspective taken from the primary source may receive more empathy or distaste depending on who the author chooses to represent. Through detailing certain character, this focus is made clear to be on the victims. However, graphic novels are sometimes subject to biases and misinterpretations, which can belittle the authenticity of the accounts being given. Different accounts of the events hold different biases. They could either represent those who have undergone the specific event or that of someone who has speculated from the outside. In A.D. New Orleans after the Deluge, Josh Neufeld represents a perspective not commonly exemplified, as he assigns different perspectives to his character and juxtaposes them using the dialogue from their interactions. A different view of the story is told, and reasons to the questionable, or unethical actions of the victims are brought into focus and analyzed through a perspective that sides with the victims.

Explain two models of behaviour change that have been used in recent national health education campaigns.

Katrina is probably going through a pathology from Erikson’s 8 stages of man, "basic trust vs. Mistrust". This stage happens from birth to one and a half years old. During this stage the virtue of drive and hope or the pathology of withdrawal is developed. Considering that the first two years of Katrina’s life was spent in three different foster care situations, it is very probable that she did not develop basic trust from her primary caregiver. As a result, Katrina developed the pathology of withdrawal. This pathology is can be proven by her fear of different activities and people she does not know.

Hurricane Katrina was a devastating disaster that has affected many people in New Orleans as well as the surrounding areas. It had a stunning “death toll of 1300 people and damage over $100 billion ”( Davlasheridze 94 ). The communication were taken down hours after Katrina because of the unexpected fast winds and floods that broke down “3 million phone lines and 1,000 cellular towers in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.”( Joch ). Because of the millions of phone lines that were battered, contacting the government for help was difficult hours after hurricane Katrina. Not only that, the people of New Orleans underestimated the power of Hurricane Katrina causing many to be “ stranded with no food or water” ( Narrator, “The Storm”,PBS ).

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast at daybreak, “pummeling a region that included the fabled city of New Orleans and heaping damage on neighboring Mississippi. In all, more than 1,700 people were killed and hundreds of thousands of others displaced.” (Laforet, New York Times)

On August 29th of 2005, a category 3 hurricane, dubbed Hurricane Katrina, hit the Gulf Coast of the United States. It brought winds of 100 to 140 miles per hour, and stretched more than 400 miles across. New Orleans had its first mandatory evacuation ordered the day before, while listing the Superdome as a shelter for those who couldn’t leave town. More than 70 percent evacuated, while the rest stayed at their homes, or took to shelters, to wait out the storm. The aftermath of Katrina was felt in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, but New Orleans was affected the most by far. In the end, more than 2000 were either seriously injured or killed, while those who survived were very short on food, water, first aid, and had very few areas for shelter. A large reason the storm was so devastating was the fact that the storm was able to cover almost 80 percent of the entire city under a large amount of water. Before the storm hit, the city used levee systems and flood walls to protect itself from being flooded. During the storm, however, many failures in the levee system caused close to 80 percent of the flooding covering the city and the nearby parish. Many know that the levee system failed but few in the public know that the major reason it had failed was because of the incomplete design. The disaster

Hurricanes have been affecting us since the past, now the present, and there will soon be many more to come. Recently there has been a lot of news about one of the most recent hurricanes, which is Hurricane Harvey. Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Katrina are similar in a lot of ways. Hurricane Harvey hit Houston like a wrecking ball. These two hurricanes have affected many people’s lives and destroyed many homes.

These storms caused some of the most destruction our country has ever seen. Both storms caused catastrophic damage, physically, mentally, and emotionally across our nation. The respective cities of origin, Houston and New Orleans, are still recovering from the damage these storms left behind. With much of the country going through hard times for other reasons these past few decades, natural disasters have only made hard times worse for many people. Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Katrina are two of the most damaging and deadly hurricanes ever recorded, but they were somewhat different in terms of overall damages, the response to each storm by their communities, government, media attention, and cleanup efforts after the storm passed.

Hurricane Katrina will forever be noted in United States history as one of the worst natural disasters to hit the states. Within its wake, Hurricane Katrina left thousands of Americans dead and many more homeless with no place to call home. A vast majority of the homeless were already living in poverty in New Orleans, where Hurricane Katrina hit the hardest. People that already didn’t have what most Americans have were forced out of their homes and their jobs with nowhere to go. Many have criticized the United States government and President Bush for the lack of response to this disaster, as well as ignoring the fact that the levees in the Lower Ninth Ward were not strong enough to withhold this type of force. Still to this day, many are still rebuilding their lives, homes, and businesses.

When Katrina was in the Gulf of Mexico, quickly approaching the coast most people who wanted to get out of the city could not, the reason for that is because most people in New Orleans did not have the means of transportation to leave the city, a large percentage of these people were black and living in poverty. New Orleans ranks fourth in the nation out of 297 metropolitan areas in the country in the proportion of households lacking access to cars. Most people could not leave even if they wanted to, most people stayed and were stranded

The tragedies caused from the failure of people to listen to others views can be represented in the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina had struck the Gulf Coast of the United States and directly hit the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia and Alabama. However, it mostly targeted the poverty stricken city of New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina was the costliest natural disaster and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the United States. The death toll was almost 2,000 people. However, the immense death rate was caused from the failure of people to listen to authorities and evacuate. Many lower class citizens didn’t evacuate because they didn’t own cars, which in turn would cause an expensive evacuation

Hurricane Katrina was a devastating hurricane that hit New Orleans in 2005. It made landfall in New Orleans August 29, 2005. It was a separating storm between Grand Isle, Louisiana, and the Mississippi River. In these areas there were severe floods. When this tragedy happened I was three years old. I remember watching this on the news with my grandparents saying, “Wow, that’s crazy, I hope everyone is ok”. Even though I was very young, I still knew what was going on in the world at the time.

it’s quite a image, Ophelia, topped in flowers, singing to herself because the current pulls her underneath the water. It’s particularly quite a image once you notice that Gertrude stood there and watched the entire factor.
