Answer 1

Parts of New Orleans are worse off than parts of urban Iraq. Most of the people that gave the city it's heartbeat left in a big hurry and the ones that stayed are now getting murdered! Construction needs to happen but no one around is taking the jobs. Guess who's taking gladly obliging: illegal or non-New Orleans native workers!
George Bush also said NOTHING about the effort to un-@uck the hurrican ravaged Gulf Coast in his State of the Union Address. How's that for great leadership?
Guess what, though....it's not like the lower income families that were forced out of their homes are clamoring to get back in and rebuild the city. To them, the city probably represented bleakness and despair which they are happy to not have in their new lives living elsewhere. Read those news articles on the web about that....sorry, I can't find them right now for you but they are out there.
Another thing: I don't think New Orleans should be rebuilt. It's below sea level!

Answer 2

One of the best things to remember is it wasn't just a natural disaster, but a manmade disaster. If the Corp of engineers had built the levees better, the ninth ward would not have been flooded so severly.
Unfortunately, the ninth ward is, or was one of the poorest neighbohoods in New Orleans, and there were alot of people that could not afford to evacuate.
Also, don't forget about hurricane Rita, Which actually was a natural disaster, and wiped the towns of Holly Beach, and Cameron In SouthWest Louisiana off the map. In Camron, the only building that withstood the storm and storm surge was the City Hall.

Answer 3

Do a report on Pass Christian Middle School. We're conveniently located in thirty some-odd trailers on a red mud lot. We had to use port-o-potties from October 17 to Christmas break back in 2005. (We are quite glad we have bathroom trailers now.) The elementary school next to us shares their gym and cafeteria with us. On a rainy day, one in five people will sink ankle-deep in red mud because it's everywhere- and it stains, bad.

If you are interested, e-mail me or IM me. I can give you more information. I guarantee it, we have a much different school day than you do.

If not that, do something about somewhere OTHER than New Orleans. Everyone in your class will be doing New Orleans.

Answer 4

I stay in Gulfport, Ms. We were given the brunt of the typhoon. when you're extremely in touch N.O. became no longer the most influenced area. There are places I knew that did not only get flooded yet were wiped out through Katrina. I outfitted homes that were demolished through the tidal surge.i believe undesirable for thosepeople too. some thing of thecountry only knows about N.O. somewhat information.

Answer 5

write about the abandoned poor black people sitting on the free way ramp for two weeks.
