    What is the illustrator trying to convey? What do the images represent?

    the occupy wall street seems to be waking up the middle class
  • Connor Gann on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means that the middle class is starting to progressively get stronger and the media doesn't like it.
  • Dakota Smith on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think this pretty much means that the media doesn't want any attention brought to them and wall street is doing just that by waking up the middle class

    the media is the evil and it is trying to end the movement with a bad apple "press".

    thats not going to work people are going to use their cells no matter what

    People will always use their cellphones but they need the "encouragement" to stop while they are driving. maybe if the penalty is high enough then things will change...

    i think that wall street is bringing attention to the middle class and the media doesnt like it
  • Megan Funkhauser on 16 Dec 11
     
    The occupy wall street protest is bringing more attention to the middle class, and it's shocking the media. The illustrator is trying to show how it's all tied together in one way or another.
  • Anna Gahm on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think that with all the "action" going on between wall street and the middle class, the media is shocked and is in disbelief.
  • Brice Johnson on 16 Dec 11
     
    The Occupy movement is like the middle-class' prince charming, exactly what we want. The 1% on the other hand is trying to poison the middle class with lies and deception from the media which is made up of the 1%.
  • Katelynn Hunter on 16 Dec 11
     
    The Occupy Wall Street movement is trying to revive the middle class in order increase their supporters to the full 99% it once was, but the 1% aka the media is like the wicked witch in Snow White that gave her the poisoned apple so she would be out of the way...and the media is upset that attention is being drawn back to them
  • Carrie Fuest on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it's that occupy wall street has now involved the middle class and the media is appalled by it.
  • Daniel Pengra on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means that occupy wall street is trying to save the middle class and the media doesnt want to have it back.
  • Kristin Molgaard on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means how the occupy wall street movement is bringing attention to the middle classes economic struggles, and the media doesn't want that to happen.
  • Megan Rief on 16 Dec 11
     
    I believe the cartoon is portraying that there is a connection between the Middle class and the wall street movement, and wall street is trying to revive the middle class. The media however, is not thrilled about the attention being brought to the middle class problems. So the media poisons the the other one percent into believing the lies and misleading comments to try getting their way.

    it's bad to think that the people supposed to be "defending justice" are going out of their ways to bend the laws so they can get some cheap love....but it's pretty funny too :)

    Regardless of where you end up on this issue, it is good to see young people taking part in government for our own community.

    I can't believe they say were too young to understand. Just because were in high school we too young. its not right.
  • Lauren Rommel on 13 Dec 11
     
    I am proud of Emily for standing up for what she wanted. Not many people would be brave enough to do something like that..
  • flor valdez on 13 Dec 11
     
    i think that its really brave of emily to stand up for what she wants and thinks that is the best. Not a lot of people would do it. But she is standing up for others and her opinion.
  • Brice Johnson on 13 Dec 11
     
    I understand where he is coming from saying high schoolers are too young to understand this. This topic is all about money, where it is coming from, how much money is needed, how much they will get from it. We do not know what goes on behind the scenes of this deals. Maybe instead of saying we are too young he should of said we are uninformed.
  • Michaela Kennedy on 13 Dec 11
     
    I like what Brice said, "we are just uninformed."
  • awest520 on 13 Dec 11
     
    I hate to say it but i have this intense urge to slap City Council member Matt Walsh...what because we are young we automatically don't understand? More like we have more on our minds then politics and gaining support by being popular with business owners.
  • Derek Large on 13 Dec 11
     
    we have the right to say what we need to say. People have the right to say that they should not be in a public place or anywhere.
  • Jordan Smith on 13 Dec 11
     
    I also think its good that students are trying to make good points on why they shouldnt own the MAC. There taking a part in this and trying to stop it. But will it help? We will see later on....
  • Dakota Smith on 13 Dec 11
     
    If he has enough gumption to tell Emily that he is disappointed in her for collecting signatures from uninformed student then he should have enough knowledge to know that we won't know whats going on if we aren't educated on this topic and that it is the generations above us job to educate us and pass on what they have learned to the younger generation. So if he is disappointed in Emily then he should also be disappointed in himself for not doing his job.

    I think we are better of some ways then our parents were. However, things nowadays are far more complicated then they were back then. I know that now men are earning less then women are compared to what their parents were..but I think this is simply because men had started out with higher wages, I mean women weren't allowed to work for quite some time, and then when we were finally given a chance to work, our wages were pitiful...we've come a long way.

    This is the speech of Severn Suzuki, at the time a 12 year old girl who stood up in front of the UN to give voice to those who didn't have one. Read the speech and watch the video at home if you can. It's true and motivating, but it's sad that we haven't seen a change yet.
