Memoir Response 4

The author reports about his experiences in Hurricane Katrina. The most dangerous thing about a hurricane is not the power of the hurricane, but the effects of the hurricane. He then goes on to talking about how politicians are thanking each other and the people for their efforts. But in reality, their not doing anything much. The author was very disappointed with the politicians and the people. There are dead bodies on the streets and on one's doing anything about it.
I enjoyed this episode about Hurricane Katrina. It portrayed to me something i haven't thought of before. Is our society really unwillingly to help each other. The politicians are not much help to the people except make laws and speeches. They're at the top living a luxurious life and the people are the ones suffering, maybe that's how it is.
Another thing that I liked was when the author said that Hurricane Katrina was a test. Hurricane Katrina was a test to test the resilience of the American people. Pretty much, the American society has failed that test. What should happen if a nuclear missile hit a U.S. territory. Are those people in that society doomed to suffer the same fate as those in Hurricane Katrina.
