Review of "Flavio's Home" & "The Storm This Time"

1)Flavio's Home is a description based story of a poor home that was documented in order to publish it as a public wariness and provide aid to the family of the da Silva home. With pure poverty the book describes it as the "most savage of all afflictions." The poverty is described of claiming victims who can't mobilize their efforts. Often survivors lacking the effort to digest the little food they scrounged the faminous times kept growing like the spreading of cancer. Catacumba was the name of the place where they found the first victim named Flavio. They offered furniture to the journalists who interviewed their family which were old worn out boxes. They would scrape by with beans and small amounts of food they would worry about sparingly supplying throughout the family.

2)The Storm This Time that covered the Urban Floodplain and deaths during and after Hurricane Katrina. The author remembers arriving at Baton rouge and seeing them label the doors in houses in certain ways to keep track of the statistics of death rates, living and homes with no people or no survivors. Around New Orleans, getting instruction from a carpet store giving out samples the writer gets a call from New Orleans Aquarium. With FBI agents and firefighters, the french quarters still intact and the National Guard to work together in cleaning up much of the mess with volunteers a perspective is given on Life After Katrina. Also on what afterward occurred to be a disappeared town.
