Battle of New Orleans

unimportant. The ride was going to be sixteen hours long, but nobody cared because of how fun the Ohio State game would be. So, after two days, we arrived in New Orleans. Our hotel room was quite small for five people, so we were itching to get out as we explored the city. That night, we had great dinner to start our three day stay in New Orleans.

During the course of the film, there were interesting camera angles utilized. As an illustration, when Nick and Tom both visited an apartment complex with the McKees, the camera angles were able to capture a man playing a trumpet on the apartment complex from a distance – I found it fascinating as it captures the essence of a typical day in American cities during the Jazz age. Also, there was a great amount of pan-and-zooming which allows the viewers to take a glimpse of the overall landscape of…

Hurricane Irma has led to many devastating events in the Caribbean Islands. Hurricane Irma was a Category 5 storm when it crashed through the Caribbean, leaving a minimum of 36 people dead in its wake before moving on to Florida. "There's no food here. There's no water here," said Germania Perez, 70. Residents of the islands are struggling to maintain a semblance of the life they had before Irma as they fight off hunger and thirst. Water supplies are contaminated and there is no groundwater to…

Wave pools are fun, but imagine ginormous waves pouncing on to your city. People who live in tropical areas are more likely to be affected by a hurricane. When the water is warm hurricanes may form and use the water as an energy source. Hurricane Katrina included many details common to hurricanes, and caused damage and destruction to property and lives that affected the region, but the area has started to recover in its aftermath.

I believe the principle of federalism was successful before, during, and after disaster hit due to communication…
