=== On Tuesday November 8, I decide it to take a walk to Zuccotti Park after school. I was amazed by what I saw. It was intriguing to see how peaceful it was around there. There was no fight no, argument no violence. Lately in the news I had seen protesters being killed and tortured. This group looked to me very organized and peaceful. And it looked like they had some good ideas and every right to be there and to protest for what they believe in. ===

=== As I approached Zuccotti Park I just observed for at least an hour just to see what was going on. I saw people with tents, clothing and food to eat. They had posters. And a lot of people looked like they were there for a long time. But I must say they were very well organized. And the protesters looked like they were very proud of what they are doing. As I was just walking around and looking for a while, I was thinking about what the government has done for all these people to be so upset. ===

=== After a while I started to ask some people questions. I ran into this gentleman Jason Kowaski. I asked him what brought him there. He said very quickly corporate greed. We bailed out this entire greedy people and instead of changing their ways, they continue doing the same as before. Nothing changed "he said". It’s crazy "he said" when this people are going to realize enough is enough. I also got the chance to interview Alexandra who told me she is there to protest for a good cause. And that this country needed a real change and needed to create jobs and help people get back on their feet. We have no jobs here, "she said " but yet we have enough jobs to send overseas. How is it possible that other countries can feed on us but yet we that live here and pay all the taxes can’t? ===

=== Occupy Wall Street started on September 17, 2011. And after fifty-three days it has become a well know name. Not only has OWS been protesting in the States but it is also recognized globally. I believe that this is a revolution and should be taken seriously and to listen to their ideas and try to come with a solution. This should not be ignored. This is a country build by the people for the people. ===

__Interviewing Elvin from The Bronx.__ Interviewing on Wall Street
 * Lina:** Why are you here today?
 * Elvin:** I'm here becuase goverment is abusing from us. I already graduate from college with a Bachelor's degree in English and I don't find a job. No one seems to appreciate a good writer. In addition to that I still have to pay the loans I took to finish with my education. And the fees are growing every day beause I don't have a job to pay it back.

Occupy Wall Street

When I went to Wall Street specifically in Zucotty Park, I interviewed two people that were protesting there because of the economic situation and some other problems that they are facing. When I went there, I saw a lot of people living in tents in the park with their babies in their hands without caring how cold it was outside.

Cristina : Hi, Can I talk to you for two minutes about this movement, please?

Martha : yes, What you do you want to know ?

Cristina : My name is Cristina, I’m student at BMCC and my English class sent me here in order to ask some of the people that are here about why are they here and what are their purpose s?

Martha : we are here because as a human, we need to defend our rights. I think that the things that the government is doing to us is not fair, such as unemployments and the higher cost of life in this country.

Cristina : Sorry miss, which is the main reason why you protesting Here, even those the weather is could?

Martha : I am here because I am I doctor assistance and I don’t have a job. As a mother, I have to stand up to fight for my rights and for my family. The life of a single mother is not easy after suffering the paint of losing your husband while you are waiting to have a baby, so I have to support my two daughters in my own.

Cristina : Which are your purposes in here?

Martha : my purpose is to help those people that are protesting here because I think that in that way the government will do something about it, such as create more job to those who need it.

Cristina : why did you and those people in here are protesting in Zuccotty Park and not in another place?

Martha : I only think that here is the best place to do that because this is a private place, also because this is an important place because here live a lot of important people.

Cristina : what are you and those people in here will do if the government don’t pay any attention to your situation, and either to those people that are in here?

Martha : we will keep protesting and also walking in the street to find more people with the same problems as we have.

Cristina : Martha, thank you very much for you cooperation. I wish that the government will fix those problems that many of us are suffering, as it is the unemployment. Bye

Martha : Bye, have a nice day.
