In-class Zeitoun blog

In DAVE EGGERS book, Zeitoun, he maintains that Kathy cares more about their family rather than their property during the storm. "Kathy wanted Zeitoun to forget their house and property and was determined to get him to leave the city" (EGGERS106). Because she knows Zeitoun doesn't want to leave their properity, Kathy askes Zeitoun to leave the city without considering their property. But he wants to protect their properity. He thinks their properity is everything.  Rather, Kathy thinks her husband's safety is more important than anything else. She wanted to make Zeitoun safe. So she asks Zeitoun leave the city. Apparently, Kathy cares more about their family's safety than anything else. What's more, when Zeitoun called Kathy, "she almost screamed and said now get out" (EGGER107). Obviously, Kathy is so worried about Zeitoun that she screams. She is afraid that something will happen to Zeitoun. So Kathy asked Zeitoun to leave the city again. From this, we can see how Kathy worried and cared about Zeitoun. However, Zeitoun determines to stay and protect their properity. Moreover, he wants to help people who were in trouble because of lacking money during the storm. Therefore, Kathy is concerned more about their safety than anything else during the storm.
