Is this Kansas- Eula Biss
In this article, the central theme is how society holds different groups of people to different standards. The main group she focuses on is college students. She first begins with describing her experience at the University of Iowa. Then she describes hurricane Katrina and how people were looked down upon because they were looting to survive. And at the end she compares the tornado that Iowa city suffered to Katrina. Her tone throughout the whole piece is angry. She even writes that she felt safer walking the streets of New York City than the streets of Iowa City.
