REHUGO Analysis – Observation: Political Cartoon

A. Cartoon Attached- artist: Lindsay

B. In this article, the picture shows two people who have different perspectives about money and the community. One side shows that money should be used on something more important than fireworks but the other side shows that the community loves having the sight of fireworks being explosive. It shows that the government supplying the community with certain activities does not see that their activities are worthless if their community is in dept.

C. With the two people sitting down watching the fireworks, you can sight that they are both enjoying the sight of things exploding. But with the captions that have two different meanings on each side, the two people have different opinions about what the community should and could have. The person on the left, looks more mature and seems to know more about what the community should have while the person on the left is dressed like a young man that still has the mind of a eight year old boy. With most communities being bankrupt, civilians still rather have something that is enjoying than having a little savings being involved so things can be normal again.

D. The cartoon symbolizes the problem most human beings have today. We rather have spend our money on things that can disappear within a minute. The visual picture shows that their community is in need of spending their money on things that actually would improve their area. But with the man on the right, he states that the community likes fireworks which indicate that most communities do not see what is in store for them if they keep spending their money on useless things.
