Tweeet Blog!!!

My name is Naomi and this is a blog based upon a tweet made by Erjon from the book Zeitoun by Dave Eggers.

can't believe that officials were there for one purpose...not saving people's life but look for terrorists. Doesn't make any freaking sense.

 

This tweet is interesting to me because I am really concerned about the jobs of the guards. They are suppose to be saving lives but yet they are just making more trouble and holding innocent people and accussing them of things that aren't neccessary. They are not really nedded if they dont save the lives of the people.

Blog #4

Hi my  name is Naomi and this blog is to inform readers about the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.
The Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans is about 2.3 square miles. After Hurricane Katrina ripped through it going 120 m/ph, the Lower Ninth Ward looked like a bomb warzone.Many low class African Americans lived in this area with low income. Many people were in need of food, shelter, and water. Thier homes were completely destroyed and there was nowhere to go. There are more than 3,000 family members and friends still missing due to the catastrophe. It is said that The Lower Ninth Ward is Ground Zero of New Orleans. People were devastated and hurt by the fact that they dont recieve much help from the Government and they have been left to suffer and  possibly die. Seeing that there was lack of money in this neighborhood, it was hard trying to recieve help from the upper class. The neighbors in the Lower Ninth Ward did help each other but that was the most help they recieved.
