Wednesday, September 28, 2011: The New York Times

       I did not find today's issue to be particularly enticing to read. Most of the articles seemed boring and not of great significance, however, my attention was caught by "Protests Rise Around Globe as Faith in the Vote Wanes." For at least the past year, it has seemed that every time I read the paper or watch the news, there has been some news of a protest internationally. Last year, there was news of the protests in Egypt on a daily basis. Now, this article addresses India, Spain, Greece, and Israel. The protests in the article are on various subjects, but all relate to unhappiness with their political systems somehow.
       The writer began this article by describing scenes in different countries, which showed me, the reader, the anger and issues that people have toward their governments right now. I also liked some of the quotes that the writer used. He chose very strong quotes to convey the sentiments that the people of these nations in economic instability currently feel.
