Theme of Earth is Sometimes Cruel. Sometimes earth is cruel, meaning some disasters happen and places go down back to the beginning to building their lives and environments.

In the end, people, families, are sleeping out side, starving and even injured that can 't get help and are dieing because of these tragic disasters.

A theme I gather from this article is how people can feel sorry for what happened but not really do anything to help, also that when big disasters happen to a poor country, that 's when people start to realize how bad of shape that place had already been in before. …show more content…

  • Analysis Of A Paradise Built In Hell

    715 Words  | 3 Pages

    In A Paradise Built in Hell, Rebecca Solnit focuses on the occurrences of the aftermaths of five major North American disasters and how strong bonds within communities form because of those disasters. Each case study provides a concrete description of what surviving residents themselves understand to be an unusual sociological change arising in the midst of casualties, disorientation, homelessness, and significant loss of all kinds. Reflecting on the 1906 San Francisco earthquake; the enormous 1917 explosion in Halifax, Nova Scotia; the devastating 1985 Mexico City quake; Lower Manhattan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks; and Hurricane Katrina’s 2005 deluge of New Orleans, Solnit brings a new perspective to these heart-wrenching tragedies. Solnit tells many enlightening stories of altruism and courageous social action. Moreover, although providing insight on these tragedies, Solnit presents her case with a redundant political bias and can seem to show problems that were not there.
