Gary Varvel's Political Cartoon
The political cartoon that you chose was quite expressive and a relevant topic in today’s society. I agree with your analysis regarding this political cartoon and you were able to fully understand all aspects that Gary Varvel was trying to portray. You were able to express how the words and the font played a role into the tone of this cartoon. However, the cartoon makes me want to know why Joe Donnelly, was abandoning ship from the Democrats. As you mentioned the pirate’s flag on the ship, it makes an individual believe that the democrats are consider to be bad. Moreover, could it be that Donnelly did not want to get in trouble, so instead of facing the consequences that he deserved to receive, he fled? Also, the cartoon makes it seem that

    Bias In Political Cartoons

    This political cartoon does use bias, it has nothing to do with democrats or republicans. And the guy don’t want to see people kneel because he thinks it has something to do with politics so it is kind of bias because if they stand up that means they agree with people being mistreated but if they kneel people unlike myself think that they are disrespecting America. But when the guy in the image says he doesn't want to see politics it could mean that he don’t agree with either one of them. This political cartoon could be for people who don’t like politics and just want everyone to get along.…

    Mike Luckovich's Rhetorical Analysis: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    When using the ethical approach it is easy to tell that Mike luckovich is a democrat based on this and his past illustrations that he is most likely a democrat and probably thinks republicans are fools. Now based on this cartoon it is not saying that ALL republicans are white, there are Women, Blacks and Hispanics that are republicans but just not as many as you think…

    Analysis of I Am Texting While Driving

    The layout of the two panels seems to be representing cause and effect scenario. Within the left panel of the cartoon we are given the text box “Im texting while drvng,” placed above a middle-aged looking man with glasses who appears to be hiding his eyes as if he were metaphorically blind. In his hand is a cellphone around which there are movement indicators, and his other hand is on the wheel while his focus is on his cellular device. One is able to come to the conclusion that the man is currently driving by the tassel that is hanging from the front view mirror, rather than hanging straight down it is angled as if the wind were hitting it. In front of the man’s car there is another vehicle that seems he is going to collide with. As there is a lack of space between the two cars. In the right panel of the cartoon the text box is “Lol” placed above a hooded figure with skeletal hands holding a cellular device with movement indicators. The hooded figure appears to be the Grim Reaper that represents death to many people.…

    2004 Ap Free Response Question 3

    The political cartoon by Nick Anderson depicts Ralph Nader standing at a podium addressing American society's "throw away mentality". Meanwhile a citizen in the background is casting her vote for the green party behind him. Ironically, the ballot drops into a waste basket, thus a wasted vote. We now realize that Nader is not talking about the environment, but addressing the issue of how the general public views votes for 3rd party candidates. This cartoonist feels that we should reform our views on 3rd party candidates and vote for who we think would make the best president, despite there chance of winning or not.…

    Unit 8 Assignment 2: Visual Argument Analysis

    The cartoon that I chose is called Border Security. I find it very interesting that the cartoonist chose this type of background. Also having Border Security, NOT, and Amnesty all highlighted in red. The text in this cartoon is very unique to its time, because of the major focus that has been on border control. I believe that the cartoonist targeted a specific type of reader in this cartoon. That type of reader would be the nave and ignorant people focused on this topic of boarder security and bringing up unreasonable ideas as to why we need more border control and to send them back to their country. I also find it interesting that in this cartoon the Native Americans are talking about border security to each other, about the Europeans, just to find out that the Europeans in the future kill, rape, and steal the Native Americans land and people. To me it looks like the cartoonist is trying to get a point across that we need to take a look at ourselves and what we stand by, or perhaps the cartoon just may be telling us that this is a cycle. When talking about the exigence of this cartoon, the fact that I believe everyone should open their eyes and try to relate toward each other is my main motivation on writing about this topic.…

    Thomas Nast Research Paper

    Today, an American’s political views develop from a number of sources. Magazines, movies, television, newspapers, and the Internet all shape public policy and the outcome of an election. However, most of those sources are fairly modern; newspapers and, magazines were the sole source for the American people up till about seventy years ago. Newspapers needed a way to present political information that was interesting and understandable to all; cartoons were the best way. Thomas Nast can easily be noted as the father of early political cartoons, because of his many contributions to the public policy of his time and his influence on the political media today.…

    Political Cartoons During The Great War

    During the Great War, or in any war, propaganda becomes a very powerful weapon. Of these propaganda, political cartoons are a bit unique compared to the usual. Political cartoons detail current political affairs in a mostly visualistic cartoon, which can include words. The two political cartoons depict president Woodrow Wilson in situations such as him dealing with public outcry, and the European countries. Both cartoons visualize Wilson in a very important role in politics.…

    Social Responsibility Of Graphic Designer Essay

    Designers of all political parties, not just the Left, are capable of encouraging positive and negative change in the world. Graphic Designers, Cartoonists, and the Mainstream Media, are all aware of how impactful a strong emotional response can be, especially before a political event or poll takes place. Designers and Cartoonists draw inspiration from the media and social issues and incorporate them into their work. It is especially important that designers conduct more research than necessary to verify news sources and to keep in mind the potential political bias of the news source they get their information from. A picture is not exactly truthful these days and it is important to understand that the media can easily turn a picture into something it is not. Designers should take caution in developing political campaigns that use media stories and images to create more…

    Cages Cost Money Cartoon Analysis

    The Political Cartoon I chose, titled “Cages Cost Money” by Dr. Theodor Geisel, or more notably known as “Dr. Suess”, is an advertisement directed to the American population, trying to convince them to purchase “War Bonds and Stamps.” I chose this cartoon due mostly to the fact that it is a non-violent, non-racist depiction of a way to convince the people of your country to provide goods for soldiers fighting. (ie: Nationalism) Most other Political Cartoons relating to other countries on opposing sides have some sort of racial slur or violence involved in it. It’s nice to see that Dr. Suess maintained his reputation through this accurate depiction of a possible future with a Clean-Cut cartoon.…
