In the film, Trouble in Water Kim and Scott recorded their experience in how they dealt with Katerina. They refused to leave their home in order to acquire environmental justice for the poor treatment black communities were receiving. With little equipment and an unstable home, they protected themselves from the storm.

This case summarizes events preceding the Hurricane Katrina, which was one of the worst natural catastrophes in the modern history of the USA. It raises questions about the lack of reasonable prevention and preparation actions due to flimsy structure and management of the responsible organizations and persons, invalidity and inconsistence of their actions and incapability of making the decisions in a timely manner. As a result of the unstructured and incoherent activities, we could observe several ineffective and costly attempts to mitigate floods and hurricanes. In the beginning the local officials, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and “White Houses past and present always seem penny-wise and pound-foolish” because of the chain of the wrong

Within the story “Follow the Water” by Jennifer L. Holm, you can find multiple scientific facts, and some facts are included in “What Would It Take To Live There”. For example on the bottom of the first page you will see a line about the radiation. “The cabin is made up of thick black plastic, sturdy enough to protect us from the solar radiation, which can kill you give you terrible skin cancer.” Since Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field, you can be exposed to this deadly radiation. “Some of them had to have their noses removed.” Which is one of the events that could happen when your body is exposed. Another subject she talks about is how to temperature is -81 degrees on mars, and that is a true statement. “It’s could on Mar’s colder then you
Water is a clear, colourless, odourless, and tasteless liquid; an essential substance for most plant and animal life, and vital for human existence. In his novel, The Wars, Canadian author Timothy Findley uses water, one of the four elements of nature, and discusses its role in the nightmarish world of trench warfare and in a world gone mad. Water imagery serves an important role and it’s meaning evolves throughout the novel. Water symbolizes life, Robert’s transitions, and Robert’s shattered innocence, as well as the change that comes along with it.

The documentary shows flint town in current years. After the General Motor factories shut down, Flint has been on a downward slope from prosperity to down-right poverty (Canepari, et al). The water was then later polluted by lead. This furthers destroys Flint. Without clean water, the residents of Flint have no choice but to use water bottles as their main source of water.

In this paper I read the Essay that Abe Louise Young wrote about “The Voice of Katrina Part One”. In this Essay at its core is about Hurricane Katrina, which was a massive hurricane that hit in 2005. It caused massive damage and destruction along the Gulf coast from Florida to Texas. Hurricane Katrina will always be remembered for hitting New Orleans, Louisiana, when the levee system failed leaving 80% of the city flooded and destroyed. Hitting the worst parts of New Orleans such as the 9th ward, already being one of the poorest areas in Mississippi.

It is pretty poignant, yet honest to say that the hurricane Katrina has long derived an almost obsessional attention from Natasha writer. In “Beyond Katrina: A meditation of the Mississippi Gulf Coast”, Tretheway has purposely pictured the devastation scenario from witnesses’ narratives; hence her story could speak for many stories of people who are less visible, whom we cannot see struggling against the aftermath - the stories we may not know about how tenacious the return of Gulf Coast communities was from those tremendous sufferings they miserably faced up to.
Katrina was the first hurricane to hit the United States to the accompaniment of continuous (24/7) TV coverage. Certainly, Andrew (1992) had considerable TV coverage, but that was before competitive twenty-four hour cable coverage. In social science terms, television constructed the frame of meaning to which audiences and decision-makers came to understand Katrina. For some along the coast, personal experience with Katrina might have helped. If you were on Dauphin Island or in Moss Point, Biloxi, Bay St. Louis, north or south of Highway 10, in Kenner or in a bar on Bourbon Street, the storm was slightly different. However, for most of us, the reality of the storm came through TV networks. Even for “victims” who lost electrical
