October 25 TU tuesday

Eradicate-To remove or destroy.

"lived in a Modular home."-Standardized units.

Ideological-Visionary or speculative.

"Back then it was liberating"  Free from bonds.

"end the economic disparity." lack of similarity or equality.

These words were taken from an article on the Times Union web site about the "Occupy Albany" movement. Some of the words I picked out did not add much of a tone to the piece like the word modular, it was just a word that I didn't know the definition of. The other words however like Liberating and Ideological and Eradicate all had a kind of "free speech/protest" kind of feel.
In the article they said things like we had to "eradicate economic inequality" which also added to the extreme protest type nature of the piece. Other term on the article that accomplished this effect were terms like the "end of economic disparity." Overall I think the best sentence to sum up this article was the last sentence in the article itself- "We may not know exactly how to fix this problem, but it need to be done. And you can't ignore us."
