The Theme
I believe that the theme of no safety in numbers is: Always look out for yourself and your family, because no one else will. I do not think this theme occurs in real life very often at all. I think the theme of Hurricane Katrina is more realistic. I think that events theme is: People always stick together and help each other in times of need.
