Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have been some of the few drastic weather cases in America in the year of 2017. Though many agree with this fact, many struggle with the ideas as to why this phenomenon happened and what could have been prevented. Some individuals like Michael E. Mann believe that climate change is the problem; others like Alan Reynolds completely disagree. Michael E. Mann, author of the article "It’s a fact: climate change made Hurricane Harvey more deadly", discusses why Hurricane Harvey

August 25, 2017, category 4 Hurricane Harvey hit Texas with 130mph winds, and stayed for four days in Houston, Texas. Houston was 25-30% flooded. It damaged over two hundred thousand homes, and almost thirteen thousand homes we’re destroyed. The people of Houston did not know that the hurricane was going to hit them directly. Thus, they were not warned or notified to seek any shelter, so they remained in their homes with their families. During and after Hurricane Harvey, thousands of families were

to follow and yet it doesn’t nothing. Four days, I’ve been trying to make sense of myself and I have nothing.

Over a mere conversation with endless questions, I realized who my literacy sponsors, my obstacles were and who I was.

In this paper, I am going to compare and contrast the movie The Hurricane starring Denzel Washington as Rubin “Hurricane” Carter to the handout provided for Nelson Mandela. I will begin with a critical review of the movie. The setting of the movie rotates from past to present, as the movie begin you will notice him in the ring with the middle weight champion and eventually defeat him in the first round with a knock-out.

In 1975, Bob Dylan contributed to this rebellious storytelling narrative by creating “Hurricane” a song about the wrongful imprisonment of middleweight fighter Rubin “Hurricane” Carter.
