“Man on the TV Say” and “Inconvenient” embody the socioeconomic disparities present in New Orleans and reveal why so many were unable to flee, despite the mandated evacuations. “Man on the TV Say” describes a news anchor’s orders to leave the city in colloquial terms. “Go, he say. Pick up y’all black asses and run.” (7). The poem instructs the poor, African American residents of New Orleans to abandon their homes with their “splinters and pocked roofs”, to “leave the pork chops drifting in grease and onion”, and to “leave the whining dog” along with “that purple church hat”.

Song Lyrics Red Sector A' by RushTranslation in progress. Please wait... All that we can do is just survive All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive... Ragged lines of ragged grey Skeletons, they shuffle away Shouting guards and smoking guns Will cut down the unlucky ones I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed A wound that will not heal -- a heart that cannot feel -- Hoping that the horror will recede Hoping that tomorrow, we'll all be freed Sickness to insanity Prayer to profanity Days and weeks and months go by Don't feel the hunger -- too weak to cry I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate Are the liberators here -- do I hope or do I fear? For my father and my brother,
If Zalman had made the right decision and kept going, it could have been possible that Zalman would live another day, but his own decision prevented it. Throughout the whole novel, Ellie had to watch mankind slowly become uncivilized as the smallest things turned people into animals, “And the spectators observed these emaciated creatures ready to kill for a crust of bread… I decided not to move. Anyway, I knew that I would not be strong enough to fight off dozens of violent men”(101, Wiesel) Around the end of the novel, Ellie and the rest of the starved survivors had to go through another long train ride with only bread that the spectators threw at them.

However, Ellie’s resistance to getting the food proves that each person has their own ability to control what they do, and acting like animals for food

Gordie tells him to stop playing around now, and that he can get killed. Gordie ended up pushing him out of the way as the train was coming closer and closer. “I stood there for a moment, unable to believe stupidity of such width of breath. Then I grabbed him, dragged him fighting and protesting to the embankment, and pushed him over” (King 329). In the movie, this scene is alike to the scene in the book.
The blind armadillo is about to cross the highway, which is how it all ties together. Unable to see the dead and bloodied armadillos that had previously crossed the street, the blind armadillo could not see the danger in crossing the highway. He is ignorant to how unsafe it will be to cross it. The artist is telling his audience that the “push to open Florida waters to drilling” is not a good idea. He is saying that the people pushing for it are walking straight into a deathtrap; blind to the fact that everything before them was completely wiped out by the last Hurricane
