Viewing the graphic novel on Hurricane Katrina really made a huge impact on me. It really gave me a visual how the people reacted previous to the hurricane, how it happened, etc. I began to understand how people had experienced many “fake outs,” where the hurricane seemed to be on their track, but turned in a different direction, therefore many thought that this was the case, and many of them stayed or went to higher ground. As I was reading the dialogue, I liked how the author created a way to relate to younger adults, as myself, with the particular lingo chosen. In the novel, it displayed the way the hurricane damaged many structures in the city, and how the people of the city reacted to this event. The author created another major visual for me as the store owners were very calm throughout the storm, but once the levees had broken, they panicked. This illustration and dialogue really created a dramatic but real understanding how the citizens of New Orleans didn’t really expected such a catastrophe. I really would like to know was how did the author display such good details? Was he part of the Hurricane Katrina victims? Did he interview many of them to create this visual? Or did he research the numerous documents and articles written based on Hurricane Katrina? Overall I really enjoyed reading this particular graphic novels, and I am beginning to like them a lot. I might even use a graphic novel in order to create my visual for my memoir presentation.
