The Occupy Wall Street Movement
Opinion #3
http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/2011/10/no-adults-among-occupy-wall-street-protesters
The columnist of this article does not even believe that this movement should be recognized, and unlike Vice President Biden, doesn't see any similarities between it and the Tea Party movement. He claims that there are "no adults among the protesters," who would be responsible enough to help the economy by looking for jobs. Instead, they are just gathering in crowds to draw attention to themselves and gain political power.

The Occupy Wall Street Movement
Opinion #2
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/66257.html
In this writer's opinion, those who are occupying wall street are not comparable to the Tea Partiers, who had their movement a couple years ago. It bothers when people say they are similar in any way. He believes that the people that are occupying wall street are just criminals who want to "tear America down," whereas the Tea Party movement wanted to rebuild it, and force the government to be responsible again.

The Occupy Wall Street Movement
Opinion #1
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/clint-reilly/occupy-wall-street_b_989645.html
Clint Reilly agrees with the movement on wall street, or the other 99%, that are protesting against the 1% who make 25% of the nation's income. They do not have a sense of responsibility towards their fellow millions of Americans because, in his opinion, they are selfish and since they are so wealthy, the problems of the lower classes have no importance or affect on them. He believes in the importance of the demonstrations and that it is hopeful that so many people are participating in this organized, peaceful movement.

Visual Rhetoric

In this painting, Liberty leading the People, by Eugene Delacroix, there is a woman leading the people during a battle. It was painted during the French Revolution of 1830 when many people were inspired by the ideal of liberty and individualism. The painting draws your eye to the flag and the woman in the picture, which emphasizes the focus of liberty and the French Republic during the time. The audience was the people in France who supported the revolution as well as outside countries to provoke a response and encourage revolution and freedom. It is a very persuasive image that commands attention and became a symbol of the Revolution as well as the power and will of the people.
