When The Levees Broke- Notes
Jeremy Randle
Period 4 Film
5-7-08
Notes:
When the Levees Broke
Act I
In Act One of when the Levees broke we were introduced to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The Government sent in aid, FEMA, but it wasn’t enough. So many people lost their lives in the storm. Phyliss Montana was a survivor of the storm and was separated from her family. She gave vivid detail of the storm.
Act II
In Act two we start to learn the Political aspect of the storm. The government officials pretty much escaped the storm but left their city to die. As sad as it was that really was the smartest decision. Everyone underestimated the intensity of the storm approachiong. When it hit it really hit hard.
Act III
Act three told us just how bad it got. People tried to wait out the storm but they were all surprised when the levees broke. Most citizens felt the government blew up the levees like they did years ago, but that wasn’t true. It was actually an accident. But how can a citizen trust a government that has failed it so many times.
Act IV
In Act four we saw the aftermath of the hurricane. The post traumatic distress of the citizens was horrific. As New Orleans tries to rebuild itself, the citizens try to remember the jazz life that built the “big easy”.
