READING COMPREHENSION

On 4th November I arrived to Chicago late in the evening. I wanted to photograph Barack Obama and

his family in the Convention Center, but when I got there, I discovered that I didn´t have my press

pass and I couldn´t go inside.

I walked around the park outside the Center. Although it was November, it was a warm night. The

atmosphere was wonderful. When I took this photo, everybody was looking at the Tv screens waiting

for the election results.

Some people were quietly holding hands and smiling – others were tense and nervous. They felt that it

was their moment. Suddenly, I realized that this was a better place to be than inside. I was watching

Barack Obama´s victory through the faces of all these people, African, Hispanic, Chinese, White. At

about 11 o´clock the results were announced, and everybody went mad. People started laughing,

shouting and crying. But when Obama made his speech, they all became quiet and emotional. There

was a place to be on the planet that night – and I was there.
