Fys comic 2

This blog will focus on the second comic my group made. This comic focus' on the Occupy Wall Street movement, which is occurring right now.  Our comic demonstrates a group of people who recieve chain messages informing them of how people are distressed about the economy, and how the website the occupationalist.org is a website where people can keep track of the movement. The website also is a way for people to communicate about the movement, where twitter posts using the #OWS hashtag are posted, and powerful stories of individuals struggle with daily lives are shared. This website proves a powerful way for people to express their opinion on the economy because people can be directly seen by others as they struggle with their everyday lives. The stories portrayed by people are powerful enough to influence others to share their stories and join the movement. The internet is surely proving a powerful way to get people to join in this movement. Because this website is so powerful and influential, demonstrating how it is used by many people in our comic answers the question about how social media affects the movement. Twitter is a big factor because the hashtag puts every tweet about the wall street movement in the occupationalist.org website where everyone can see it. This means that every person who logs onto the occupationalist.org is exposed to the movement from the general public's perspective.
