Natural Disasters

In this weeks article that i read about natural disasters i read about hurricane Katrina that happened in New Orleans, i thought that this is a important natural diasater because it happened in our country. The article was about rebuilding 2 years after Katrina, it was about a 52 year old man whose house got destroyed my hurricane Katrina. He had to watch his 3 year old granddaughter fall off the roof and disappear under the water and his mother die on the roof. This reminds me of Nectar in a Sieve when there is a monsoon and everything gets destroyed. There are similarities and differences in both texts. The similarities are they both had a type of rain storm, people loose their houses, loose jobs and crops. The differences are in Nectar in a Sieve Rukmani and her family are in poverty to begin with and don't have much, and Robert Green wasn't in poverty. I think that both situations would be very hard to be in.
