c. In this political cartoon, there is an American citizen depicted in both 2008 and 2016 expressing his views of that year’s president elect. In 2008, the citizen says, “Anyone can become president,” and Barack Obama is pictured by his side. The citizen is grinning, looking at President Obama with wide eyes and excitement. Alongside that depiction, the citizen is again shown in 2016. He is saying again, “Anyone can become president,” however this time Donald Trump is standing by his side. This time the citizen is sad and looks disappointed.
d. The cartoonist of this political cartoon is demonstrating the views of many American people after Donald Trump was elected president compared to their views when Barack Obama was elected. In 2008, most were excited that we would have the first African-American president. It showed, like the citizen in the cartoon is saying, that anyone can become president in the United States. It demonstrated the large racial barrier that was broken by Obama

The cartoonist in this political cartoon is clearly depicting the brutality and aftermath of this election. By showing Hillary and Trump with bruises and cuts each of their own, it shows that each of them took violent swings at the other. This means that they each were nasty to each other during the election and made some pretty big impacts on the other’s campaign. By showing Uncle Sam, who is in a USA Democracy shirt, being the most beat up out of the three of them, it shows how America and the American government has taken the biggest beating of them all during this election. American democracy has been seriously wounded by this election because of the harshness of each of the candidates and the illegitimacy of each of them as well. Both of them have not been a good and genuine example of what the American democracy calls for in a leader. The point of view of the cartoonist is that both Trump and Hillary hurt each other during the campaign, however they hurt America the
The cartoon also has a caption that says "Make The First Lady Great Again." While many people found the cartoon to be very funny, others are quite offended by it. There were people saying that they did not support Obama, but the cartoon went too far. Ben Garrison is the person who drew the cartoon. People have accused him of being racist and misogynistic. Ben has openly expressed his support for Donald Trump.
In the comic people and speech balloons are not present, and thus no tone or voice is ever established other than the humor in naming a hurricane DACA with immigration politics swirling in the midst of it, while it is headed straight to the Whitehouse. Because of this, we know that the author believes debates and protests are going to occur within the Whitehouse over the immigration policies, but we never clearly see his view or side on whether he was for or against DACA and immigration. What’s left is an unbiased cartoon, where little controversy is to be found.
Thomas Nast is known as the "Father of the American Cartoon," having created satirical art during the 19th century that critiqued slavery and crime. In this political cartoon, Thomas Nast as an artist reflects on the differences between the Republican and Democratic parties. The political parties now are different from when the cartoon was published. The Republican Party was the party of the people, mostly supported by the North. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, was the party of the South, of business, and was noted for being supported by former Confederate soldiers and sympathizers.
This political cartoon about Trump uses many rhetorical devices to relay a message to anyone who would so care to look at this particular ad about him having allegedly stolen Putin’s shirt. I believe that the author of this political cartoon was trying to persuade to believe Trump is a bad candidate for the presidency by showing us he has ties with the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Do to this persuasion; the effectiveness of this passage is greatly achieved using logos and pathos because it explains how terrible it is to let the leader of the free world have a great relationship with the country that cannot stand us, Russia.
Political cartoons are an illustrative technique that political cartoonist use to display a message to the viewers about government, world affairs, and politics. In 1754, publishers of the Pennsylvania Gazette published the first political cartoon illustrated by Benjamin Franklin (West, par. 1). Benjamin Franklin used his first political cartoon, titled Join or Die, to gain support from the colonies for the Crown’s war against the French (West, par. 1). Since the 1700s, illustrators use political cartoons as a medium to display political messages to its viewers (West, par. 1). On March 10, 2015, publishers of the Columbia Daily Tribune published a political cartoon, illustrated by John Darkow, titled Hillary Has A Primary Opponent (Darkow,
Although African-Americans had won the right to vote and theoretically won equality, this was not the case for them in reality. They were still being denied the same freedoms as they had been denied when they were slaves; the most prominent being the right to vote. In the political cartoon “This is a White Man Government,” Thomas Nast (the author) critiques yet exploits the sentiments of the South. The title itself gives away the anti-black attitudes, but the content of the image itself portrays the true feelings and actions actually taken by whites to restrict blacks from the freedoms they earned. In the image, three white men are standing on a black man and the American flag, while the black man is attempting to reach for a ballot box to cast his vote. The white men are clearly hurting the black man through these actions, which emphasizes the fact that they are threatening not only the black’s freedoms (in this case specifically, the freedom to vote), but their safety as well. This makes the argument that blacks were more harmed after their freedoms than during their slavery.
There are various aspects of the cartoon that contribute to the main focus of the cartoon to the president. The three women come in holding a sign saying “We demand equal pay” because they feel like they are not being treated the same as the men who are doing the exact same work. In response, President Obama is holding up an executive order and says, “No need to worry ladies! This executive order will make those evil Republicans pay you the same as men.” As Obama is saying this one of his advisors is trying to tell him that the ladies work for him and holding the paper with the headline
During the 1920’s a series of events were set into motion that plunged America into one of the worst time of its existence come 1929 and later the Great Depression. Through the challenges America faced, it arose to become the world’s strongest leading economical and political superpower. As the country began to emerge stronger than ever, leaders arose to the occasion and aided its progression as a world power. One such leader was be Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Due to his actions, the memory of him was preserved in the form of political cartoons for individuals to view and come to the conclusion that despite some ill feelings toward the man, he was a man of noble character who aided America in achieving greatness.
The political cartoons of the 1800s reflected the feelings of many laborers of the time. The American Revolution began in the early 1800s and continued through much of the 19th century. The low wages and high fees of being a laborer, added to the long hours many worked, made people desperate to find a better way of life. Despite their need for a better life, many laborers had little skill or ability to anything else. As the cartoon shows they are being crushed between their high rent that they are required to pay and the low wages being driven by the new monopolies and corporations of the time. Eventually riots broke out in the cities as the workers got more and more desperate to push for an increase in wages.
According to the article from The Boston Globe, Josh Goldenburg, a student at Boston University, suffers from double vision and balance problems after jumping out of his house when an unexpected fire started. Universities in the Boston area don’t provide enough on-campus housing for the amount of students they accept, leading to terrible off-campus living conditions. Students are living with sometimes up to 12 people, making the houses overcrowded and living in closed off front porches and dining rooms. The owners of the house make rent very expensive because they know the kids don’t have anywhere else to live. A lot of the houses haven’t had inspections in years, causing the houses to have dangerous safety hazards and in cases like Goldenburg’s,
This political cartoon is saying that if you vote for the democrats than you are a white man. There was slavery then if you vote for the republicans than you would be compared to a negro.
Cartoons have been a prominent and interesting apparatus for politics throughout the ages. Political movements, parties, and groups using propaganda to further their beliefs dates back to the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Though America faces an austere history, lighthearted propaganda colors its decades and gives them life. Political cartoons are so widely used in America that they have become a significant piece of pop culture. Moreover, because of their ability to capture the reader’s attention, propaganda is exploited throughout politics.The cartoons are wonders of the human imagination; illustrators create comical images and intertwine profound political opinions to influence their viewer’s mind. For example, one movement that abundantly grew from propaganda was the women’s rights movement. The artists of the seemingly despised cause drew controversial cartoons that set a fire in the hearts of women all over the world. Consequently, the same cartoons ignited a passionate war between women who wanted freedom, and those who believed that women could not handle that freedom. Through the use of colorful concepts and daring expressions, political cartoons display the influence of the women’s rights movement throughout history, while the cartoons of Anti-Feminists demonstrates the world’s reaction to the movement.
This cartoon is displaying that the government makes promises that they often do not keep. It depicts the patriot receiving very little of what they had ordered. This is a metaphor for the lies that the government feeds the public. This cartoon is using pathos in the form of patriotism, in that they want America to be without the lies. The artist of this cartoon wishes to bringing this feeling out of people in order to have the people join up and realize the truth, or their truth, about what is happening in our country.
