Zeitoun

In my English class we are now reading a book called Zeitoun written by Dave Eggers. This book revolves around Zeitoun and his family's experience with hurricane Katrina. Zeitoun stays back in New Orleans while his family decides to leave due to the warning of the category 5 hurricane. While Zeitoun had stayed back he saved lives. I believe Zeitoun is a selfless man. He's saving lives of people. He is saving lives of some that he does not even know. That to me shows a sign of selflessness. The book talks about how Zeitoun rescues the eighty year old woman(page 103). He lifts the eighty year old woman who is over 200 pounds while she is on the ladder and while Zeitoun is under water. Zeitoun gets her on the motor boat safe and sound. He did not give up on that eighty year old woman and did whatever he can to help her. He seems like a very heroic person who would save a life to his best extent. If Zeitoun had not been there then that lady might have not survived. Zeitoun is a normal man who saved plenty of lives. He is selfless and heroic.
