The Key issue of this cartoon is demonstrating the values of the Democrats and the vaules of the Republicans. In the cartoon the donkey is being potrayed as a strong, serious, more dominant representer of what a democrat stands for. On the other hand the elephant is drawn with a face thats looks "dumb", and not taken as serious. He potrays that Republicans only care about abortion. The audience of this cartoon is in favor of democrat politicans. It goes against republicans, and puts them down against the democrats. The cartoon rely's on both visual and text. This influences the cartoon's overall persuassiveness because the text and image relay the entire message on how the democrats stand for better things than republicans. The tone of this is serious. The symbolism used is the donkey and elephant talking, representing their political party.
This suggests that nowadays, people tend to be focused on only one thing instead of the multiple problems that we face.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this cartoon. You find that a lot of time with Republican candidates, they do tend to focus on a handful of things making them more important and ignoring all other issues. Most of the time, as the examples stated in this cartoon, the issues are ones that have always been the touchy subjects and they don't tend to be very open minded/focused of the global and national problems as a whole. I feel that it makes those seem less educated in the fact that they won't take the time to branch out and find major issues that can truly save our society as a whole. Great job!
