Will Oremus writes an article on November 3rd informing his readers on, how Manhattan has powered through the blackout. He begins his article with a very stunning statement, that is both ironic and true, he begins by saying how "Superstorm Sandy rocked the Rockaways, flattened parts of Staten Island, and brought lower Manhattan to it's knees." In this one frase, Oremus uses, irony, simply and hyperbole. He says a funny but crucial statement that; for those who live in Manhattan, do not find it at all funny. Oremus continues to explain how even though the city has been a couple of day's without electricity, once they get their power back, New York will go back to it's form, as if nothing had ever happened, and everyone had power all along. He ends his article by explaining how many people had placed where they could get electricity, called "jerry-rigged ways…" Some peoples borrowed gas from trucks, installed portable generators, people helping people.
