Answer 1

In "Cairo: My City, Our Revolution", by Ahdaf Soueif, the author provides a description of the scene in Tahrir on February 1st. This scene helps the readers understand how the events are unfolding.

The scene takes place on Tahrir Square, which is also known as Liberation Square because most of the Egyptian demostrations take part there. Some lines above the author states "...what the regime ruling us had tried so hard to destroy: we had come together, as individuals, millions of us..." Egyptians are there because they want Mubarak to step out of government, after thirty years. A man watches the demonstration cheerfully, he is very glad to see how almost everyone is there, and the sun is shining "... old and young, rich and poor, they talked and walked and sang and played and joked and chanted.
