The Mural and The Occupy Movement

The way how Rivera’s Frozen Assets mural and the Occupy Movement are comparable is that the two connect by poverty. Rivera’s picture shows the people in the middle picture were starving and sleeping in construction places do to bankruptcy to both men and women, and the occupy movement fighting the economic issue between rich and poor. I believe it’s a clear connection because the mural and the occupy movement described their titles specifically and they are both part of the 99% role in deficiency. Both of the events first happen on Wall Street. The mural shows the depression by the colors, they look deteriorating and the occupy movement show depression by the number of people who have gone unemployed to protest because they feel imbalanced about the economy and where it has gone to. During the great depression, people that were affluent had hidden banks to save their money in. As for the occupy movement, it appears that even though an economic problem is in the mist, people that wealthy have hidden organizations to keep their money safe. Having a smaller amount of jobs is another reason why these two occasions connect. In the great depression, jobs where very few and there was barely any employment for the poor and middle class. For the occupy movement, businesses are hard to find now and days for people that were unfortunate or even middle class. This is why I think the picture of Rivera’s Frozen Assets mural and The Occupy Movement are alike because they both define the word Depression.
