Zeitoun, the story of survival, courage and Allah. The book accentuates the benevolent deeds of Zeitoun and his family. Yet in reality, there ends up being a side to the Zeitoun family life that was overlooked--a side of abuse. Our group wanted to focus on how after the book was published, portraying the couple as loving and a perfect family, Zeitoun abused his long time wife Kathy.
We wanted to know if the abuse affected how readers portrayed Zeitoun-the book. Although, some of our group members did not enjoy the writing of the book our group agreed with the fact that the it was important to shed light on what happened in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. With our images, we wanted to portray how there can be two sides to every person, how everyone can be stuck with trauma inside their own heads. That trauma can become a burden to some, and you can crack-people crack and that should not take away from what someone has done in their lives
