Body One: To
begin with, London goes through the story by just giving people the
gist of the people who met the violence of the earthquake while
Anderson focuses on one discrete person even though many have had
contact with the disaster we call Katrina. London informs us of the
victims but doesnt name them in detail. With me sat Japanese,
Italians, Chinese, and Negroes-- a bit of the cosmopolitan flotsam
of the wreck of the city( London 416). London clearly gives the
race of the victims that surrounded him, although he doesnt
include the specifications of a normal human being like a name or
physical appearance. He informs the reader about the
earthquakeby
giving a slight visual of the people it affected. London just gives

London informs
the reader of the zone briefly, and the impact the earthquake had.
At half past one in the morning three sides of Union Square were
in flames(London 416). Chiefly, London babbles mostly on the
destruction that the fire caused to Union Square. He doesn't seem
to be cautious of the area called Union Square, but just the fact
the fire visited it on its path. The author doesnt seem to give
much information of what Union Square is, or why the fire hitting
it was so crucial. By Wednesday afternoon, inside of 12 hours,
half of the heart of the city was gone (London,413). In
particular, London clearly clarified that half of San Francisco was
devoured by the earthquake. Also, London doesn't include specifics
about what was included in the half that was affected by the fire,
he just gives the understandable idea of it. He doesn't give a
reason why that side is included in the heart of San Francisco, he
just informs the reader of the idea that some of San Francisco's
proudest monuments were destroyed, but he doesnt precisely give
which. On the contrary, London mentions areas that deal with
Katrina, but he makes sure to give facts of what the place is home
too, and the amount of destruction Katrina really caused. Until
the nineteenth century, the Ninth Ward was a swamp, and, even after
it became home to a black and immigrant white community, and was
drained (in that order), it was ruins, but there was no
withstanding the onrush of the flames(413). Clearly, Anderson goes
into the history of the Ninth Ward and specific details about what
the Ninth Ward is, who lived there, and how the disaster impacted.
This helps Anderson create empathy by showing how priceless it was,
but now it is all destroyed. At 2037 Desire, a block past Petries
