            Money played a complex role in how people reacted to Hurricane Katrina. For some in the Lower Ninth Ward, lack of access to cash created a situation where they couldn't go anywhere becuase they had no money to back them up and their house was the only place they have. Meanwhile, some middle-class people in NO like the Zeitouns had to face difficult choices, such as the working place, his business, and his house.. All the while people faced these difficult choices and situations, the US government, who had money, chose to only talk people to leave the but city but not helping the poor that couldn't afforded thier family to move. In light of all these examples, I feel that money  was the main reason why people didn't left during Hurricane Katrina and goverments didn't used it in the right way. In this essay, I will show how each of these groups faced a different kind of Hurricane due to the power money had in their ability to make certain kinds of decisions.
             From the book "Zeitoun" by Dave Eggers, is about a middle class family's decision making during and after the Hurricane Kartina. Zeitoun is one of the main character in the book. he had made many of the decision buring the Hurricane Kartina such as he had to stay in city while the hurricane had arrived becuase he had too many work place have to take acre of and to made sure nothing will happened to his house. therefore, those are all money problems that he had to sove; if he losed the equipment in the work place or any damage was done to the house, he would need to pay a large amount of money.
             People in the Lower Ninth Ward had to faced difficult decision beacuse they have to risk their lives when they have chose between to kept their life or to save their property save. Lower Ninth Ward is one of the very poor area in New Orleans. Many of the people live in the area are old people and the poor. In addition, it is not that people dont want to leave when they knew that hurricane Kartina was coming is because that they were too old to move or due to the financial problmes. Most of the people were so people that they were dependent on their monthly paycheck. as a result, they dont have any money to support themselve when they leave the city.
            I believe the goverment didnt do a good job before the Hurricane Kartina was arrived. they didnt take care the people who had to stay in the city. therefore, people whom died from the hurricane was goverments responsibly. The rich doesn't need goverment to take care of; they can just move to other city like they are having a vacation but not the poor. The poor had to suffer from losing their home or family members when it comes to natural disaters. Money can be very improtant ket point on how people treat others. As we can see wealthier people are more likly to survival when it comes to many problems. So i think goverments should take care more the poor.

In Calss Zeitoun quotation

In the book “Zeitoun” by Dave Eggers, author is trying to tell or show us many of the personalities that Zeitoun and Kathy has. In the book Zeitoun and Kathy had made many decisions before and after the hurricane Katrina. According to Dave Eggers, “He opened the cage and let them out”(Eggers 121) I believe it is part of the personalities of Zeitoun that author wants to let us know. In the passage Zeitoun is trying to save the two dogs that is trap in the house after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. When he found out two dogs was trap in a house. He tried to climb up to tree then walked over the roof to get into the house and save the two dogs that was cage, which they seem very hungry and scared to him. It made me think that Zeitoun has a warm heart as helping others but not only people but also the animals too. So I think this is a one of the many very nice personalities that Zeitoun has.

blog in class about Zeitoun.

After reading more than 90pages of “Zeitoun” by Dave Eggers is mostly about the life that he and Kathy had when the hurricane Katrina arrive New Orleans and author is trying to show us their personalities by giving many example of the thing that they had done before. Both of them have different personalities. On one hand, Zeitoun is a very responsive and strong man. On the other hand, Kathy is very strong women too but also she is a smart woman.

I think Zeitoun is a very responsive and a strong person because as Kathy said he was an “honest man, hardworking, reliable, faithful, and devoted to family.” (Eggers17) I think when a wife think her husband as reliable and honest man that means Zeitoun has been a very good father and husband to his family which means that he is a responsive man to his family. In addition, I think he has a strong personality because he decided to stay in the city to take care the house and the work place when he knew that there was a hurricane is coming to his city.

I think Kathy as a strong and smart woman because of many decisions that she had made before. For instance, when she deicide to take the kids north a “handful of times” (Eggers42) when she knew that it might be dangers to her family when the hurricane is coming and left Zeitoun alone when she care about him very much also when she has to deal with high school kids that try to made fun of her. So I think she is a very smart and strong woman.

bolg #3

        My name is Jian Li Zou and I’m from the Eng101 class. In this blog I’m going to discuss about the climate change. According to the two essay “The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change” by Naomi Oreskes and “The Anthropogenic” by Paul and Eugene from the book “The Global Warming reader” by Bill Mckibben, our climate is changing in many negative ways such as temperature is higher and the sea level is rising too. In addition, if we don’t stop the climate from going down, it will lead to many problems; the cities that are on the low sea level will be flood.
         In essay “The Anthropogenic” by Paul and Eugene is mostly about the author is trying to give a lot of the evidence that can prove mankind activity is causing the climate change. For instance, the coal and oil burning are releasing more than 100 million of SO2 every year to the atmosphere. Mankind is exhausting the fossil fuels after generations and generations. In addition, people are releasing many toxic substances to the environment, which can harm our own people and our environment. People had been breathing toxic air into thire body. As a result, it might leds to many diease to harm our body. Also many animal had been kill by the polution.On the other hand, the author also said that if we want to the climate we should “guide mankind towards global, sustainable, and environmental management." i think it means that we as the people should trying to stop climate change by teaching people about the climate change and teach them how to avoid any mistakes that had been made before. 
           The second essay “The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change” by Naomi Oreskes is mainly about the scientist trying to let people know what is happing to our climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is one of the organizations that are trying to prove the climate change by send out reports of the environment change date. Furthermore, the since 1993 scientist were publishing more than 900articles about the climate change.

At 1938 people already burn around 150,000 million tons of Co2 to the air by fuel combustion.

review feedback

         After i finish reading the feedback from my group, i think will go the following steps. First, i should keep writing 3 more pages so that i will have 5 page letter. second, try to fix the problems that i have in my letter, which i have found a lot in my first two pages letter. third, i think i should have go find some other information that can help me with my evidence. finally the last, after i finish the 5pages letter i will reread my letter so that i wouldn't mistype any words or missing some words in the sentences.
         i think I'm in a good shape because i know what i should write in my other 3 pages of letter; i know where to find my information or how to put it into the letter.
