The Hurricane

“How do Boaz Yakin and Tate Taylor depict historical content to develop the theme of racism in Remember the Titans and The Help in similar and different ways?”

Bob Dylan's song, "The Hurricane" is a story communicated through song. It is a tribute

On August 29th, 2005 Hurricane Katrina caused catastrophic damage and flooding in Mississippi, Louisiana, New Orleans and areas in between. It destructed the lives and homes of thousands of people, with a total of 1,883 fatalities (Hurricane Katrina Statistics Fast Facts, 2015). Hurricane Katrina left many homeless and hospitals unprepared for the challenges posed to the healthcare system as a whole. Some of these challenges included gaining access to healthcare facilities, providing expedited care to those most in need, and preventing spread of disease that commonly occurs during natural disasters. Many facilities did not evacuate in time and many were left stranded in flooded waters as patients conditions worsened and access to essential medications and treatments became limited.

Beginning in the 1950s, the United States have witnessed two Category Five Storms and seven Category Four Storms naming Hurricane Katrina as one of the most deadly Category Four hurricanes to hit the Gulf Coast. On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina dismantled several sections of the levee which caused it to collapse. The storm then breeched the New Orleans’ levee system allowing Lake Ponchartrain and the Mississippi River to flow in the heart of the city. Furthermore, a tremendous amount of damages occurred throughout the coast of Mississippi and Alabama. The state of Louisiana sustained most of the damages not just from Hurricane

In the turn of the new century, the people of Galveston were faced with a grim reminder. The event that destroyed the small island of Galveston, the Galveston Hurricane, had many social, political, and economic impacts that made this storm life-changing. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 improved Texas for the better and helped Galveston grow stronger as a city.

Galveston, Texas is located 50 miles southeast of Houston. It is known as a barrier island on the Texas Gulf Coast of the United States. The city Galveston, Texas was the home of around 37,000 residents in the early 1900’s. This island grew from being a small settlement into one of the wealthiest cities in the country. It was normal for people to visit Galveston, Texas for it was known as a "tourist attraction". There was always the idea of building a seawall to protect Galveston from future hurricanes but it was never built. Although many hurricanes had hit the city several times in the past (before 1900) no one would have thought that a hurricane that would

The Hurricane is a film by Norman Jewison. It is about Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a black boxer wrongfully convicted for the murders of three people in 1966. Two black men in a white car shot and killed three people in the Lafayette Bar & Grill. Carter and his black friend, John Artis, were arrested for driving a white car and being black. The police assumed that Carter and Artis were guilty. The police then asked two witnesses – Bello and Bradley – if Carter and Artis had shot at them. Both witnesses said that Carter and Artis had not shot at them. Carter and Artis were both found innocent by a jury. However, Bello had been the lookout for a robbery. A police officer promised Bello that if he claimed that Carter and Artis were the suspects Bello would not be charged.

Hurricane Andrew, some may say it was the worst hurricane ever to make landfall on US soil. In my research I have found that andrew was the worst for the 90’s time period. In the 90’s the people had very poor storm shelters for such a horrific storm a lot of people died because of this.

The New York Times article “Pummeled Florida Staggers Toward Long Recovery” by Alexander Burns informs readers on the controversy surrounding the power outages in Florida. The author explains how right after Hurricane Irma weekend it had started to head north of florida, being that it was just leaving somewhere between Miami to Jacksonville. In the meantime florida has power outages throughout the cities, there are people are without no electricity, and to even get back electricity it could take days to months. In this case florida has so many damages with houses being in pieces, homes flooded, every thing ruined with only some things are salvageable and storm damages costing between $20-$50 billion. For other people in florida who didn't believe they needed to be evacuated and who thought they could wait it out, it soon will be necessary for some residents to evacuate. As there may also be tornado warnings because of the historical levels of flooding. With the storm later heading north it's is cautioned to residence when they return home because the powerlines

Bibinot I would describe as being a serious and responsible person from the way he was being described in Section I where he was taking shelter with his son away from the storm.

Everyday extraordinary events happen. Events of survival, overcoming great odds, sometimes luck and occasionally stories of great injustice. The story of Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter could defiantly be perceived as one of great injustice. It could also be perceived as a immensely manipulated story made popular due to the views of famous and important people. The most popular belief is the story showcased in the 1999 movie 'The Hurricane'. The film tells the story of an innocent carter, framed for the murder of three innocent white people and sentenced to jail for life only to be freed.

Vicious hurricanes tear communities down to their foundations, leaving victims with a huge responsibility to reconstruct and dispose of the deceased. But not just in stories like Their Eyes Were Watching God, but in reality.
