Handelsman Cartoon

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.

He uses allusion as a way to get people's attention, he gave his speech on Abraham Lincoln's birthday. In the beginning of his speech he talked about how Lincoln hated war and wanted peace, but then he shifts his speech to the reality of cold war. He said everyone thinks the war is over and America won the war, but Americans are still on war which they don’t know. On first paragraph he mentioned “I would like to be able to speak of peace in our time, of war being outlawed, and of world-wide disarmament. These would be truly appropriate things to be able to mention as we celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.” He started his speech with a reference to Abraham Lincoln so that Americans would believe that he is just like Lincoln who wants to free them from communism. That way Americans will support him.

His use of trope, “Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate” explains America’s policies with handling negotiations with other countries. Using the phrase “both sides” as well as incorporating logos, he explains why it is logical to avoid war. The use of “both sides” suggest that he isn’t take any one sides part, but is looking at war as a whole, a war between two sides, looking through the eyes of each side and understanding what causes it. He wants us to unite and look at society and its changes positively: “where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved.” His plea for peace both within the country and around the world let the audience know that he genuinely is against war, a terror that they were sick and tired

Cartoons have been use for many years and its modern usage refers to a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for satire, caricature, or mock different things. John Backderf, known as Derf, is a famous and recognized cartoonist “who works out of an unheated, attic studio in his Cleveland home, grew up in a rural, small town in Ohio and went to high school with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer” (“Bio”). He drew a cartoon in 1995 in which he presents an implicit theory about how and why things evolve to be “cool”. This paper will elaborate on explaining what Derf’s theory actually is, an interpretation of the meaning presented in the cartoon, and a fad or style that follows Derf’s theory.

The house of representatives makes and passes federal laws. They are one of two chambers that creates the U.S legislative branch. The house may even be referred to as “the people house” because it’s representative’s are viewed and based upon the population or amount of people in each state. In this political cartoon, there are two sides one side is labeled “the people's house” which is the outside view of the Capitol building, while the other side shows citizens inside the Capitol building scared. The Capitol building holds meeting's and debates with the electives, however, the scared citizens show a negative connotation because they are not providing respect to the building and what's surrounding them.

This political cartoon ties into my theme since it shows how the man is stressing over the news and thoughts and how he must relieve himself from it all. Not only that, but it also ties into the passage Why I Went to the Woods by Henry David Thoreau. This can be proven as it is seen in the passage when the author says that the character would mine and burrow their way through the hills in front of them. With this being a metaphor, the author uses figurative language as he explains how the character in the passage is trying to get away from all of their bad thoughts, trying to leave all of his stress behind but the stress just continues to pile up, just like a hill. This also ties in with my Theme and my political cartoon since they all show

During the mid-eighteenth century, the American colonies began struggling with their oppressive mother colony, Great Britain. Many colonizers, however, were divided on whether to fight for freedom or to remain a subjugated colony. As a call to unity for independence, Benjamin Franklin published his famous “Join, or Die” cartoon in his newspaper the Pennsylvania Gazette. Through his depiction of a fractured snake, Benjamin Franklin was calling for the dismantled colonies to unify (join) rather than losing any semblance of independence (die). Benjamin Franklin`s political cartoon was successful in unifying the colonies against the imminent British threat since it served as a call to action for the colonists since it evoked both personal responsibility and fear.

The tone of this cartoon by Jerry Holbert is humorous and ironic. In the cartoon, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are flying above the city to home from a debate on large dollar bills. Both are thinking they understand the average person better. However, the author is trying to say that neither of them truly understand the average person more. He does this by placing Trump and Hillary on money, representing their massive wealth.

How his main goal is for the advancement of not just one person or one race of the people but everyone; no matter what you are or how you live your life he wants you to feel he wants what is best for you.

The media, particularly cartoonists, also pictured Blaine as corrupt. According to Samuel Thomas, Puck, a satire journal, depicted Blaine covered with tattoos of his various “political sins” in a series of cartoons which gained widespread popularity. In 1879, Blaine gave a speech in support of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which made him come across as degrading and as somewhat of a demagogue. Furthermore, the cartoons enumerated the various companies that Blaine had investments in. A large segment of the public believed that Blaine could be bought and that his actions were primarily motivated by his personal ambitions.

He juxtaposes the “ending of war” to the beginning of economic recovery (Isn’t that a lie in the state we’re in?). This solidifies hope and the use parallelism, “ we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together". He begins again, this time using a parallelism that is used throughout the rest of the speech, “we, the people,” to even further establish togetherness and also builds Obama’s presidential

The last part is emphasized by Obama because he gives rhetorical questions (“…, what change will they see?”, l. 97, “What progress will we have made?”, ll. 97-98) that should make the people think about what they did, what they changed and what they
