This novel I would recommend to any person who just doesn't really like to read a plain simple book, the book is a comic based on a true story during the holocaust and it's amazing. The comic lines are creative for some how it was made in mice instead of humans and it show a symbol of how Jew's where less than the Germans who were cats and just a whole different perspective and it's

In the novel, Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, the main character, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, is an immigrant of Syria who stays in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and is arrested due to the suspicion of looting, but really is arrested because of his race and how he looks. Zeitoun’s faith and loyalty to his community and home is tested through the many obstacles of Hurricane Katrina and including his religion, racism, and his very own dignity. The author, Dave Eggers who is also the speaker in novel, proves all examples of Zeitoun’s challenges credibly in the text.

In the story “Tied to Zelda,” The author shows us that people can be different on the inside then what they appear on the outside. At the beginning of the story, Alfonso is forced by “rough and tough” Zelda to practice for the Sadie Hawkins Festival. We notice right away that Zelda is a tough-skinned character. Later in the story, the text says “I’ve got you some heart-shaped cookies and marranitos.” This was a turning point in the story as Zelda had unveiled a small part of her soft inside. Then we understand that maybe she didn’t unveil herself previously so she could seem perfect and strong. Having no feelings at all. Soon after the text says “I want the passes to sports camp.” “I’d rather be at sports camp than in Utah with my jerk father.” “I want me and my mom and sisters to stay here for the summer. If I get sports passes, my mom said we’d stay and she’d find a job here.” We see the reason for her toughness and strong outside. Along with that, the text says “‘Well, if we win the three-legged race, can’t you trade your splash world pass with someone for the sports camp pass.’ ‘No, I promised my mother I’d let my little sisters have the splash world pass if I won it.’ Her eyes got all watery.” Right away we notice that Zelda is not hearted less, she’s only being tough and mean to satisfy and help her family. Sometimes in life people may seem like one thing when they’re really

Zinn opens chapter with the recognition that “war and jingoism might postpone, but could not fully suppress, the class anger that came from the realities of ordinary life”.  Despite the brief interlude that momentarily quelled class conflict, the issues at home had never been resolved and resurfaced with a vengeance.  More and more writers were writing from a Socialist mindset:  Upton Sinclair published The Jungle in 1906, as a commentary on Chicago’s meatpacking industry. In writing the book, Sinclair was influenced by writers like Jack London, a Socialist who had grown up in poverty in the Bay Area.  London publish The Iron Heel in 1906, warning Americans about fascism and indicts the capitalist system” In the face of the

When the Hurricane was coming his family left for a safer area, but Zeitoun wanted to stay with his house because he worked hard to get where he was. Zeitoun wanted to try to protect his house in anyway possible. After all the damage was done and New Orleans was submerged in water and nearly completely destroyed, Abdulrahman Zeitoun was asked by his wife to leave the area and go to a safer place. But Zeitoun being the person he is, decided to stay and to help out anyway possible. He canoed around helping those who needed it.

The 21st century for America so far includes two major disasters, 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. David Eggers documents the Zeitoun’s struggles during Hurricane Katrina in his book Zeitoun. Choosing specific details, Egger’s purpose is to juxtapose Zeitoun’s humanity before and during Katrina to the cruelty Zeitoun was given after, and how Americans should reflect on those disparities.

The award winning novel, Zeitoun by Dave Eggers illustrates the obstacles Zeitoun had to overcome to see his precious family. During Hurricane Katrina, Abdulrahman Zeitoun stayed in New Orleans instead being with his family to help people who are in need of assistant. While rowing on his canoe, rescuing civilians, he was falsely imprisoned immediately after Hurricane Katrina but was later released. Couple years after the book was distributed around the United States, Zeitoun was accused of attempting murder and hiring a hitman to kill his wife, Kathy. He was convicted with stalking and was sentenced 4 years in prison. However, with all the accusation and violent crimes committed by Zeitoun, Eggers’ purpose still stands. Eggers tries to inform

"Who are you?"(Eggers 206) were the first words that Abdulrahman Zeitoun heard from the police officers that had surrounded him and his friends with their guns drawn as he walked out of 5010 Claiborne that he owned. He had been stopping by the house to use the telephone once a day to call his wife Kathy, who was in Arizona with their four children to escape Hurricane Katrina, a catagory 5 hurricane that had hit New Orleans, the city they lived in. Abdulrahman Zeitoun had stayed home to protect his many properties that he and his family had required in the sixteen years since he had moved to the city.
