"Witness to the Tragedy" is a first-person account of the destruction that Hurricane Katrina caused in certain places, shortly after its passage and how people are living in the rubble and flooding while waiting for help. The account is very distressing, because it shows people trapped in their homes, swimming in an attempt to save themselves, as well as the situation of animals and the nature of the attacked place.
"Hope Survives in Search for Katrina's Missing", while also being a first-person account, presents a different account. In this text we present the search for people who were missing after the passage of Hurricane Katrina. This search has been going on for many years and although it shows people anguished for not knowing if their missing loved ones are well, it is a report that causes less anxiety in the reader, because it does not present people at serious risk of life, with chances of drowning or being stuck in rubble.

Atticus questions four witnesses but i cant say for sure if he called them to the stand, he may have just been doing counter arguements
Whitman uses visual, auditory, and tactile imagery in the poem's first stanza. When he says "The ship has weather'd every rack", he conveys the feeling of exhaustion. (The ship is, of course, an allegory of America, whereas the Captain stands for President Lincoln, who was just assassinated.) "The bells I hear" is an auditory expression, which supports the people's exaltation, but also resembles the sound of death bells which mourn the Captain's death. The vessel is "grim and daring", grim because the trip had been extremely hard, but the cause was daring. "The bleeding drops of red" is a striking image of the tragedy of Lincoln's death. The blood was shed, so it was not a natural death. The Captain is "cold", which is an example of tactile imagery.
As a whole, this stanza juxtaposes two kinds of mood: the exaltation about the Captain's glorious deeds, as well as pathos and tragedy because of his death. The imagery makes the poem all the more exciting, as it lets us see, hear, and feel the speaker's state of mind - which is a fusion of personal and collective feeling toward America's journey to freedom and Lincoln's pivotal role in it.
