In class Zeitoun blog/direct quote

In Dave Eggers "Zeitoun" we learn of the different types of personality traits that the two main character's carry out. At first we see Zeitoun as a strong and dedicated man who loves his family but puts his job before them. In any time of day or weather he will set out to help his customers and fulfill their needs. During the storm (Hurricane Katrina) there was a flood that prevented people that remained in town from walking outside because the water was very deep. Being the 'daredevil' that he is, Zeitoun brought out his canoe and began to set sail checking on everyone houses and checking to see if there was anything that he could have done.  On his journey he heard someone calling out for help. Zeitoun ran to her rescue, "assuring her that she would be taken care of"(Eggers 100). When Zeitoun found her she was floating and hanging on for her dear life and Zeitoun didn't want to leave her there to suffer.  He went lurking for help from another boat to help the woman reach safety from the elevating water. He knew that an elderly woman like herself would not survive and have the strength to swim to save herself.For such a man who is not well equipped he still made it his responsibility to help people.
