The Storm - assignment 1/26

I thought reading about hurricane Katrina would be slightly boring to read. Patricia Smith does an excellent job of mixing in different views of the hurricane's story. I liked how she used personification for a few of the view points. She made the hurricane sound like an actual person and it was interesting to hear its own story. I did not care for some of the language she used. Some of it helped shape the story, especially the multiple use of some of the same words, but I felt she could have used more descriptive, less vulgar language in some parts.
