Analysis Of Satirical Cartoons

For TWO cartoons from the previous post (or you can choose ONE of your own) answer the following questions?:

Cartoon 1:

1) What is the event or issue that inspired the cartoon? 

Julia Gulliard sticking her nose into everything.

2) Are there any real known personalities depicted in the cartoon? Even if this is not the case, what type of person is being depicted? 

Something that has to have a say in everything and is always right in what they say or do.

3)Are there symbols and/or signifies in the cartoon? What are they and what do you think they represent? 

The size of her nose is a symbol for her being a ''sticky beak.'' In the picture you can see the use of vector lines through Kevin Rudd, Julia and the islander people behind Julia. These islander people may also represent immigration as they are in the dark within the cartoon and Julia is in the light.

4)What do you think the cartoonist's opinion is about the topic? Do you think it is his alone or expresses the view of the publisher too? Why? 

I think the cartoonist is trying to portray a point in his views of the current prime minister and her downfalls as a person.

5)Do you agree with the cartoonist's opinion? Why??

Yes I do as Julia does try and stick her nose in every topic and also always thinks she is correct in what she is saying.

Cartoon 2:

1) What is the event or issue that inspired the cartoon? 

Obama's approval rating ''sinking to the bottom.''

2) Are there any real known personalities depicted in the cartoon? Even if this is not the case, what type of person is being depicted? 

No

3)Are there symbols and/or signifies in the cartoon? What are they and what do you think they represent? 

The submarine is going down represents Obama's approval rating isn't popular and not many people agree with it.

4)What do you think the cartoonist's opinion is about the topic? Do you think it is his alone or expresses the view of the publisher too? Why? 

I think the cartoonist is just portraying the view of the people in America not necessary his view.

5)Do you agree with the cartoonist's opinion? Why??

No as I am not familiar with the topic being expressed.
