Zeitoun (pgs. 78-94)

Kathy is in Baton Rogue with her family and she tries to hold back and just enjoy the time that they are having there. Although they serve her children hot dogs, which contain pork and is against Islam, she calms down and settles back. The children are having a fun time with their cousins and it all seems safe. Zeitoun is still in New Orleans and is not worried much. He is sleeping a lot and can not find anything to do. He wakes up one day and realizes he has slept through the storm. There is not much damage to his house compared to his neighbors. Zeituon has been sleeping late for the past 3 days during the storm and is finding this time somewhat peaceful. One of his family members in his moms side calls and Zeituon surprisingly admits that he is scared, something he would never admit to Kathy. His family member could not  find a place to stay, so he just gave him Kathy's family number.
I thought it was interesting that Zeitoun did not react much  to the hurricane. He did not feel the need to evacuate or take caution during the storm. This shows what kind of man Zeitoun is. He does not believe anything people tell them until he has valid evidence to prove that the storm is going to be that bad. He seems right in his theory, so far....
