Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers retelling of Abdulrahman Zeitoun’s plight in the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina was enthralling. I began to really understand what the people of New Orleans went through during and after the hurrican hit.

 However, what was in Zeitoun’s personality that made him stay when the evacuation notice was sent out?  Was it for altruistic reasons or trying to control / master nature? Eggers portrays him as a man with optimism and a strong personality.
