Zeitoun: Second 68 pages

The second 68 pages of Zeitoun speak toward the actual hurricane and the days to come afterward. I can totally understand where Zeitoun is coming from when he decides that he will stay home to ride the storm out and maintain their house. Zeitoun feels that as the man of the house that it is his duty to stay behind and protect his home of many years. This is very understandable, like what we saw in the move "When the Levees Broke" many people who have lived in New Orleans have lived through many tropical storms with no damage to their property or lively hood. Zeitoun had this exact mindset. But as we all know the hurricane itself was no so terrible for New Orleans, but it was the levees breaking that destroyed the city. Zeitoun experiences this when the entirety of the first floor of his house ends up underwater. Surprisingly Zeitoun stays calm and moves upstairs what he can before his house is completely flooded. It is amazing that Zeitoun goes around in his old canoe feeding dogs and strangers his food. What Zeitoun does for people of New Orleans is simply stunning and selfless.
