The Man In The Suit
This cartoon about Native American issues, the man in the suit represents the citizens of American who criticize illegal immigrants. The characters represented are a small family, representing Mexican immigrants with the stereotypical cowboy hat and dark hair. The man in the suit is drawn to be angry and passionate with his pointing, while the Native American has his arms crossed in judgement.

    Rivera’s Pan American Unity: Economic Themes from the North and South

    Rivera’s painting are often controversial and spark debate in all kinds of circles, whether it be for his political affiliations or the subject matter of the paintings themselves. In a way, Pan American Unity avoids some of this controversy with his themes of unification and harmony. One might think that the North and South, in this case the United States and Mexico, stand diametrically opposed to one another, but Rivera sought to unite them in common themes. He showed how the labors of the Mexican farmers and ingenious people were not that dis-similar from the backbreaking work of the Detroit autoworkers. Most, if not all, scenes depicted show Mexicans and Americans side…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of 84 Lumber's Super Bowl

    In 84 Lumber’s Super Bowl commercial, a young girl and her mother journey through the wilderness of Mexico to come to America. The use of the advertisers visual and aural techniques within the commercial effectively creates a story that humanizes the current social issue of immigration in the United States. The commercial has created extreme controversy among its viewers, some even going as far as to protest the company. Although, many people who support immigration have publicly endorsed 84 Lumber. Whether or not their views would change about the commercial if they knew that the CEO of 84 Lumber is “pro-trump” and “pro-wall” is unknown.

    Boss Tweed Dbq

Nast points out segregation and discrimination and chronologically leads the viewer to the Chinese…

    Book Of Unknown America Analysis

    In the past few months, Donald Trump seems to have become fonder and fonder of spouting off racist gibberish whenever there is a camera or a reporter nearby to capture it. However, what he never seems to realize is that for every racially biased supporter, there are ten others who are not allowed to tell their own side of the story. The Book of Unknown Americans is a novel which allows these ten others to tell their stories and contradict the preconceived notions that White America has formed about them. Cristina Henriquez uses the characters of Gustavo Milhojas and the Rivera family to discuss the idea of the American Dream - or more specifically, a parent’s American Dream for their child. In the novel, Henriquez uses the characterization of Gustavo Milhojas to help us understand Arturo and Alma’s American Dream; specifically, she argues that although America does its best to close doors to immigrants, they are still able to scrounge up enough opportunities to be…

    Immigrant Dbq

    Written on side of one of America’s most notable landmark, The Statue of Liberty is the iconic line “Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breath free”(Carnes 640). The message that “Lady Liberty” conveys is one of acceptance and embracement of immigrants no matter how poor, outcaste, or unwanted, because America was the “Land of Opportunity.” The cartoon in Puck Magazine depicts the United States as a US Ark Refuge with Uncle Sam opening his arms to the poor and decrepit immigrants looking for freedom. (Doc A) Shortly after this cartoon was made America’s open door policy began to diminish replaced by nativist legislature. America’s welcoming nature had throughout its history been selective to whom it applied, whether it be the Irish and German immigrants during the early 1800s who experienced racial discrimination upon arrival (Carnes 492). During the time period between 1880 to 1925 America’s open arms to immigrants became even more selective in the wake of WWI, when a new flow of immigrants from Europe among other places arrived on American soil looking for a new life (Carnes 640). Instead of a “Land of Opportunity” they arrived in a hostile climate fueled by nativist, who believed in White American superiority, and feared cheap immigrant labor was a threat to their livelihood (Carnes 641). The United States government during this time period did protect America’s status as a “Land of Opportunity,” but instead made life as an immigrant more difficult with nativist legislature such as the Chinese Exclusion Act and Immigration Act of 1917 (Carnes 436).…

    Native American Popular Culture Essay

    There seems to be no small amount of literature on how Native Americans are represented in our popular culture. Over the past several decades, Native Americans have been mythologized in films, TV, video games and other forms of popular media. And, “For the most part, the white man’s visual expressions of Native peoples have been dominant” (Boehme, et al. 1998:75). It is these depictions that have created a false impression of American Indians. As anyone could guess, the conquest of the American Frontier in the Old West is a period in this country’s history that has been mythicized in the media countless times. Historical issues like cultural genocide, colonization, and geographical displacement were the basis for creating these fresh, new ideas that portrayed…
