In both the article and NPR, they point out that one must need to know about oneself and what that means to them. Just because people think people are mentally strong does not mean they are truly that strong, as in the NPR. The two women talk about what they miss back home in New Orleans, such as martigra. In the end, the women are very greatfull to be alive and together. Now, in the article, the author talks discusses about finding out her true self. The author turned to some self help books in aiding self her in finding her true self. An intersetin fact she learned is that you can improve her feelings by describing them to others. She also learned writing can be a very therapeutic. Some teachers want students to write something that comes from deep inside of them; not some boring essay on campus security. The most interesting thing in the article is when the author say, "to reach deep into our minds to gather words that helps describe ourselves" and the world around us.

2. How long did they stay in Houston?
3. Has your outlook changed after Katrina?

I like the question about changing your mind and changing your attitude. I think that you can always change, but I, too, am unsure of whether these changes relate to your attitude.
Good question.
The Franklins probably did change thier perception on life after Katrina. In the recording they said that after all the chaos they learned that "love" was the one thing that they got out of this experience.
