Personal Narrative: Feeding The Homeless

The lack of food is a dreadful hardship the soldiers have to deal with. This hardship brings about not just hunger but many other factors. When you are hungry from the lack of food, you are weak and because you are weak you cannot fight well or deal with simple problems well. This effects basicly the whole war in a way. If the soldiers can’t fight, they will fail.

The Reconstruction Era of American history was plagued by many problems. One of the most important problems being the recently released from slavery Freedmen. Freedmen were in a tricky situation in which they had just been released from their owner and had nowhere to go, but the Federal Government made many successful attempts to help them out. The Government helped alleviate all the problems Freedmen had from their finances to basic needs and rights, and in doing so, made the period of reconstruction more helpful than harmful for Freedmen. The events of reconstruction were helpful to freedmen as they were not only freed from slavery, they were given rights directly from the federal government.

Namely, the colonists were terrible with sanitation; terrible disease was wrought amongst them, these colonists didn’t bring women who were generally better at caregiving, and the list in Document C holds not the label of the farmer; hence, there was no well-grown food. Additionally, the list contains large numbers held to describe the gentlemen’s quantity. The gentlemen were people of wealth and they weren’t used to laboring with their hands. This was detrimental to the survival of the Jamestown colonists. Also, the first settlers brought no apothecary and only one surgeon; the expediency of every medical need, most likely in this case, only grew and ever germinated.

Furthermore, if the most basic climate brought about such an alarm, one could only imagine the effects of a disastrous storm, which caused, “Half a dozen people killed by lightning strikes”

Because of all the debris, it was hard to even breathe in that area. “Dust clouds rose as high as 10,000, making it impossible for people to live there”. The dust clouds not only were super big, but took a long time to go by too. “Drought struck from 1934 until 1937 there was a drought, so there was no water for the families”. It was an impossible life for so many

With actual temperatures plummeting to negative seven, and the wind chill bringing it down to -50 to -60 degrees, the dangers brought with the storm had grown beyond snow drifts and zero visibility. The devastating effects-both in terms of temperature and snow accumulation-brought on by the Blizzard of 1977 were enough for President Jimmy Carter to declare all of Western New York a federal disaster area. According to the National Weather Service, this was the first time in the history of the United States that a snowstorm had been declared a federal

Many people were not able to find a permanent job but instead working for temporary jobs that offer low wages. Some families were forced into refugee camp and barely passing with selling the few goods they still own. Selling used goods was not enough support families with many children. As a result, the vulnerable children died due to lack of nutrients [1]. This man-made famine was a massage from the environment.

The jail smelled bad because of all the body odor and filth, one of the first things Abigail notices as she enters. It was always an uncomfortable temperature, too hot in the summer, to cold in the winter. It was crowded, at one point there was up to 150 people in Salem Jail (Weiser). Prisoners were required to pay for basic essentials, and if they couldn’t afford it, they went without. Poor people were put in cells so small you couldn’t lie down and were given nothing to survive on.

Walking on streets were impossible. Overall about 200 people were killed by the blizzard of New York City alone. Animals were stranded without food or water, buildings could collapse. Blizzards are the biggest harm to animals because they are stranded and stuck with

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the first and only individual to serve four terms as president from 1932 to 1944. He left a legacy to the American country by serving the United States during the toughest times in America with the citizens supporting his every move. He was confidant to many people when he displayed courage and perseverance because he dealt with sickness while simultaneously getting America out of the rut it faced during World War II and the Great Depression. He created numerous programs such as the New Deal, which paved a way out of an economic crisis by creating various programs, which worked towards creating a better America. His ability to come out of the Great Depression with such strength and perseverance shows his dedication

The devastation caused by Nevado Del Ruiz was unimaginable and horrific. However, even the rescue relief made available and the government’s lack of support made the aftermath much worse for Armero. A few things that made everything much worse were: Accessing the number of survivors- because of the mudflow many people were spread throughout the town, and many were still under the mud not yet discovered (National Academy of Sciences, 2015). Along with counting the number of survivors, identifying the dead also became a serious problem, because of the lack of documents and some people were still entombed in the mud (National Academy of Sciences, 2015). Clean water became another hindrance in helping this town recover, there was a short supply for drinking but most of the town required large amount to wash off the mud from survivors and the injured (National Academy of Science, 2015).

We see them as a crowd, we call them the homeless, as if it tells who they are. What most forget is that they are also people. These “people” with social disabilities or financial problems are abandoned by society and become homeless on the streets and although many believe they don’t owe anyone help. Homelessness is a very huge problem that America has come to face. Millions of people, including children, families, veterans, and the elderly live day after day without food, water, or a roof over their heads.

Local interests had to pay one half of what the commissions used to create the levees that made to try to prevent flooding. The district of where the levees were also had the costs and jobs of maintaining the maintenance that the levees needed. River and Harbor Acts were passed along with Flooding Control Act. This all was well with the Mississippi River Commission until the flood that changed it all, the flood of 1927. This flood is still the biggest and most destructive flood recorded.

When the Dust Bowl came it completely destroyed the agriculture due to the severe drought that had come before the actual storm arrived. Some of the farmers managed to actually farm the areas of the drought, but once the storms arrived

Even after these changes were enacted, they were nowhere near the preparations needed to combat a storm as violent as Hurricane Sandy On October 29th, 2012, Hurricane Sandy made contact with the Northeast coast of the United States with over 80 mph winds, causing mass damage throughout the outlying areas along the coast. On this day, the New York Stock Exchange closed, a state of emergency was declared by Barack Obama for all areas that would come in contact with the superstorm, all forms of transportations including airplanes, trains and subway lines, and bus transportation were closed, and all low-lying areas of Long Island were ordered to evacuate their homes
