Political Cartoon 1

1. The cartoon title is "Oil Price". These words are being used to describe the cartoon because the author wanted to illustrate the oil price.
2. The cartoon shows the price on the vertical side while and a barrel of oil that busting out oil is on the horizontal size. The artist is trying to shows the rapid change in oil price. 
3. In the cartoon, there aren't really any movements or actions at all. The people just stand around the barrel of the oil and they also look helpless. One of them seem shocked about the rapid change in oil price.
4. The cartoon is trying to say that the price of oil is increasing and people really don't know what to do to solve the problem. Therefore they just stand around and wait for it to decrease and act like it's not their fault. It seems like this cartoon is not based on any ideological perspective.
5. This cartoon is related to the chaos in Libya because as the Libya's oil industry is in chaos, the prices also increased. During class discussion, we also talked about Libya and the price of oil. We also play the stock market game and I invested some money on the oil industry and the prices definitely increased since last week.
6. Well, it seems like the price is increasing rapidly and there isn't any signs of slowing down and people are just incapable of solving this problem.
