I thouht that the essay i read was compelling because a young man from New Orleans talked about how he thought he was a hero to himself because he learned how to over come the things that had happen to him and his city from hurricane Katrina. He talked about how he safely escaped but many didnt, and how he lost not only materialistic things but also lost friends that would never come back to be with him again. The tone of this essay is serious, and reflective because he telling what had happen in these events and how he learned and grew from them.

She uses v devastation's isual stories to showcase what she is talking about and how she now feel for the homeless that walk the streets looking and wondering what there next move shall be because there are no certainties in your life during these periods of time. The tone of this essay is definitely serious because it shows us what can happen when things like this occur.
