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.
