"Witness to the Tragedy" is a first-person account of the destruction that Hurricane Katrina caused in certain places, shortly after its passage and how people are living in the rubble and
flooding while waiting for help. The account is very distressing, because it shows people trapped
in their homes, swimming in an attempt to save themselves, as well as the situation of animals
and the nature of the attacked place. "Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing", while also
being a first-person account, presents a different account. In this text we present the search for
people who were missing after the passage of Hurricane Katrina. This search has been going on
for many years and although it shows people anguished for not knowing if their missing loved
ones are well, it is a report that causes less anxiety in the reader, because it does not present
people at serious risk of life, with chances of drowning or being stuck in rubble.
