Connecting Events

The mural shows and displays signs of depression during hard times. The color scheme is gloomy and uses dark mellow colors. This connects to present times because the Occupy Movement is similar due to the new class of poor people. The connection is clear because their our many deaths and wrongful actions taking place. The mural even shows a picture of the bank and the bank is part of the reason for the Occupy Movement. The mural shows a man in a business suit looking over dead bodies and my interpretation is the unjust actions of Wall Street. The protestors outside of the Wall Street buildings can represent the bodies in the mural in my opinion because they are willing to die for what they believe in. The mural shows the power that Wall Street has and the effects it has among society. The occupy movement is also about the imbalance of wealth throughout our country. The banks are wrongfully taking actions with their customer’s money and its causing a strain on society. The mural also shows the Wall Street buildings standing tall in the background as a symbol of power, but too much power is causing the poverty line to steepen and even those who commit suicide. This mural is very relevant to what’s happening today and shows clear similarities between both movements. I feel that this is a powerful mural that states a lot without words involved and if our society was wiped out;this picture will explain a lot about our extinction.
