Hi my name is Rodney and I’m from New York City. I saw a movie of the disasters that ya’ll went through in New Orleans. I’m here to tell you that day by day you will become stronger and everything will get better. There is a famous quote I always follow by and that’s “With out struggle there’s no progress”. If you just take it step by step then things will get better slowly. As long as things get better, it will be all right. The kids at West Side High School care and we are here for your every need.

The documentary we watched on the tragedy that occurred in New Orleans was devastating. It allowed me to understand the values of life that I should be appreciating rather than ignoring and being selfish. Those people lived nearly uncomfortable before the hurricane even hit. Watching how they had to survive throughout the storm was heart breaking. The government basically left them for dead. Thousands died and millions cried because of hurricane Katrina. After the storm was over, houses were destroyed and the love for their city was fading to abolishment. I now look at my city and can be thankful for what it is in front of me instead of being ungrateful for what it's not. I highly recommend this documentary to everyone. Anyone who has a heart should give his/her condolences to the families who lost love ones and homes.

When I watched the documentary on the Hurricane Katrina victims, I felt so bad for them because of what they had to endure. Some families couldn’t evacuate out of the city, so they had to go through rough times in tough conditions. A lot of lives were lost, homes destroyed, and families torn apart because of a Hurricane that crept on New Orleans like a thief in the night. Even former President Bush was overwhelmed by what Katrina did to this beautiful city. Seeing that documentary opened a lot of eyes on what really went down from a first person point of view. I believe this documentary should be shown nationwide on television to make the country see how this natural disaster tore a great city to pieces.

Movie Title: Trouble the Water
I THINK…when people were warned about the coming of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans they did not take it seriously. Even though they were all told to evacuate the area most didn’t expect it to be such a huge disaster.
I SEE… very strong winds that can blow away a person to another planet and gigantic rivers outside of people’s houses. The water was so high it covered stop signs. =-O
I FEEL… sad that some families couldn’t get out before hurricane Katrina struck. Some people couldn’t afford to leave and others didn’t want to leave behind the life they had made for themselves. It amazes me that help didn’t arrive fast enough and that so many people suffered massively. They lost their love ones, their homes, and their properties. I hope that New Orleans can one day be fully restored and that everyone can overcome the tragedy and live life to the fullest despite the past. I feel that the government can create a plan and save money to help those that need it most as well as be prepared in the event that another natural disaster occurs.

Trouble Waters
When I was watching the Hurricane Katrina Film, I saw that the
people were scared for their lives and thousands of people died.
Most of them were old and others couldn’t get out of New
Orleans because they either didn’t have transportation or the
National Guard didn’t get to them in time.
I felt sorry for the people who lost their families and at the same
time I felt scared for them because I was thinking if I was one of
them and I had no way of getting out of New Orleans and I’m
stuck, I would be worried that the National Guard forgot about me
and my family.
When I was watching the movie I saw a lot of water, and homes
crushed by the winds and cars under water flipped over and
people trying to save each other. I also saw that it took awhile for
the National Guard, also one of the main people in the movie called
an information hotline about a rescue team and the lady on the
other end said that no one, not even the police would be making
rescues because there was way to much water.

I think that the only reason why so many people died was because they thought that the storm wouldn’t have been that serious. I see how people try their best to survive and use different tactics to help themselves in dangerous situations.
I feel that everything happens for a reason. This tragedy tested a lot of people's will power as well as their strength.

I predicted that this movie would be about the destruction of the City of New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina. I saw people stuck in their attics with very little to eat and drink, Water was rising onto their porches turning their porches into pools while others had to sit on their roof tops because the water consumed the rest of their home. Many people swam and played around in the flooded water. I feel sympathetic for the lives that were changed due to this natural disaster. Homes were destroyed, inhabitants lost personal belongings such as identifications cards, photos etc. Some even lost loved ones.
