 Main Point #1

Each author uses a difference in scope to discuss events because the "Story of an Eyewitness" has a broad scope and the "Letter from New Orleans: Leaving Desire" has a narrow scope. The "Story of an Eyewitness" scope affects the events because it focuses on the whole city of San Francisco. The author describes the disaster on a large scale, "San Francisco at the present time is like the crater of a volcano where camped 10,000 refugees." The fact that 10,000 refugees were displaced shows how much ground the story covered. The author describes the disaster on a major scale, "Some of San Francisco finest structures were crumbled into ruins. The fact that some of the finest structures in San Francisco shows how terrible the disaster was. The author covered the story,  "Letter from New Orleans: Leaving Desire" with a narrow scope and focuses on one area, a poor town called ninth ward. First, the hurricane hit the worst place in the city, where all the poor families live. The fact that a little town got hit bye the hurricane covered a narrow scope. The author uses a narrow scope because it talks about one man and his dog that he had to leave behind to save himself. Both text differ in scope but are effective because they show how much damage both of the disasters make.

Main Point One 

To begin with, each author uses a difference in scope to discuss events because one has a broad scope and the other has a narrow scope. First, "The Story Of Eyewitness" focused on the whole city being destroyed. In the story it says "San Francisco, at the present time is like the crater of a volcano were camped 10,000 refugees.the author states. This shows that thousands of people fled from the fire so they could live or survive. "Also in lines 36, 37 and 38 it says "some of San Francisco's finest structures were crumbled into ruins." This shows that the whole city was burnt down. The scope of the story "Letter From New Orleans: Leaving Desire" is a narrow scope and focuses on one area. The hurricane hit the worst place, where the poor family's live. Both texts differ in scope but are effective because they show how much damage they both do.

Main point 1

Each author uses a difference in scope to discuss one has a narrow scope and the other has a broad scope. The scope affects the events that have been told by focusing on the whole San Francisco area. "San Francisco is gone. Nothing remains of it but memories and a fringe of dwelling houses on its outskirts. Its industrial section is wiped out. Its business section is wiped out. Its social and residential section is wiped out. The factories and warehouses, the great stores and newspaper buildings, the hotels and the palaces of the nabobs, are all gone." The author Jack London wants you to know this so he can emphasize the amount of destruction. "It was dead calm. Not a flicker of wind stirred. Yet from every side wind was pouring in upon the city. East, west, north, and south, strong winds were blowing upon the doomed city. The heated air rising made an enormous vacuum." Jack London says this because he wants you to know that the fire didn't stay in one spot it spread across the whole city. On the other hand the author in "Letter  from New Orleans: leaving desire the author projects a narrow scope by focusing on one area of New Orleans. In the story, the author States "Bunny Friend, in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The house was built of wood, with white siding and peach trim." Jon lee Anderson wants you to realize that they are only focusing on ninth ward. Also, another example that shows a narrow scope is "trapped survivors and for what rescuers were calling “holdouts”—residents who didn’t want to leave their homes—in one of the poorest and worst-hit parts of the city, the Ninth Ward, in eastern New Orleans." The author is trying to express how many people where they and that they needed to get out or they would have gotten sick from the water. Overall, both texts differ in scope but are effective because they show how much damage they both.

Main point 1 

Each author uses a different scope to discuss events that the story of a eye witness has a broad scope and a letter from New Orleans leaving desire has a narrow scope. The story of an eyewitness has a broad scope has a broad scope of events and a widespread of events.  In the story the evidence shows the destruction with fires earthquakes that had destroyed the city.  The city was told about how the the buildings were destroyed.  On the other hand leaving desire gives us a narrow scope of the flood and gives us more personal info.  We only learned about a few people who struggled with the disaster such as Lionel Petrie and the greens Lionel had lost his dog and the greens lost their store.  This narrow scope helps us care about this more because the story is mainly on the greens and Lionel Petrie.  Inconclusion is that both stories talk about the struggles with the disaster with different scopes and they both convey about different disasters that happened.

To begin with, each author uses a different scope to discus events because one had a broad scope, and another one has a narrow scope. First, in the story, "Story of an Eyewitness" the scope affects the events that were told by focusing on the entire city being destroyed. The author states, "San Francisco, at the present time looked like the crater of a volcano, and 10s  of  thousands of  refugees were fleeing to safety." This explains that thousands of people fled from the fire so they could live or survive. This was found at line 197. "San Francisco's finest buildings were crumbled into ruins." Lines 36, 37, 38. The scope of the story "Letter from New Orleans: Leaving Desire" is narrow compared to the story "Story of an Eyewitness." It mainly focuses on the Ninth Ward. The hurricane hit The Ninth Ward the hardest, where all the poor families were living. Both texts differ in scope size, but are effective because they show how much damage both of the Natural Disasters cause.

The difference in scope is that in "story of a eyewitness" focused on the whole city shouting the mass destruction. In "Letter from New Orleans:Leaving Desire" the scope is focused on the small poor town.

The slope in "story of a eyewitness" the scope focus on the whole city of San Francisco this effects the story by showing you everything. In line 27 the text states that "haft the heart of the city's was destroyed already". And on line 60 it states "the whole city crushed and roared into ruin". This makes the reader realize the large scale of the disaster.

The scope makes you think about only the small town because that's what the scope focus on. In the text it states that "the worst hit poorest parts of the city, the ninth ward".

Both texts differ in there scopes but are effective because they share the same general idea of disasters.

There are three main ways that you can say that are similar and different to both

 the story's called "Story of an eyewitness " by Jack London and the story called

 "leaving Desire"by Jon Lee Anderson. The main difference between the two disasters

 one of them effected the hole city by it all being on fire as for the other one the main

 flooding mainly affected the one poor part of the city. A way that the disaster is similar is

 the way the people acted, the people acted in a way that they were clam in fact in the

 story leaving desire some of the people wanted to stay even when the toxic fume filled

 water could kill them. The final and last way they are different is in the story leaving

 desire there are more people that are important to the story then in the story "story of

 an eyewitness " Those are some ways that the two story of disasters are the same and

 how they are different.
