video assignment N1

blog assignment (take out) hi everyone, my name is salem and im assigned to respond to video related to supper storm sandy. here a video called the time in between. found in a website calls sundystoryline. the video shows a lady talking about her experience during and after hurricane sundy. sandy last probably an hour or two so obviously the challenging period is whatever comes after when sandy passed. the most significant point in my opinion in this video is the problem with a lost paper that the lady faced she said "we start a paper work for ....and they lost a paper work for that" from here we can take out two images. the first is the image of the people which is reflected on the voice of the lady. she keep calm, patient and strong. the second image is the government one which we can infer from the administration who lost an important paper work to respond to an emergency state. the lady seems strong despite all what she faced she was trying to help other people who were in need and she always think that there are people who need help more than her which is also a clue that the people were conscious. on the other hand we have a weak government who used bureaucracy to gain time and/or push people to find the rescue by themselves. we all know that paper work is always been saved by different ways hard copies and electronic. so the "lost paper" was a "fake reason" to keep people waiting waiting and waiting till they forget or lose hope in any government spending. yet we have an no balance power where a strong people are been rolled by a weak administration who cant even take responsibility to save files. i picked this idea to illustrate to the reader the gap between what the state should do and what they were actually doing in reality in such an emergency situation.
