Learning civilized ways is hard workA political cartoonist attempts to make a statement about serious issues and or events occurring throughout the world.
When analyzing a political cartoon there are things you should look at to get a better idea of what is going on:
1. Activities
2. Symbols
3. People (Nationalities, groups)
4. Expressions (Body Language)
5. Words
Examine the political cartoon above and try listing some or all of these 5 aspects. What view point does the cartoonist have about the Imperialism? Is it positive or negative and why?
What i could say about this picture is that there is 2 slaves who is carrying a Egypt guy and the slaves Look tired and sad because they are thinking why do we have to do this when we could at least be doing something. But the Egypt guy is just relaxing and he looks happy because hes being carried and he doesn't have to carry nobody just his hat and his whip around Him.
