Political Cartoon 7

• The caption of this political cartoon would be " Republican Budget Cut". These words are being used to describe the recent budget cut in our country that almost lead to a government shut down. In this cartoon, there are a plane with a sign says republican budget, and two guys that falling out of the plane. Those two guys on the political cartoon are seniors and poor. Basically, this cartoon is trying to say that under the republican budget, the seniors and poor are not exist and they are be thrown out of the topic since the Republicans are trying to cut all the programs that support them. During class discussion, we also talk about how the budget cut would affect us as a whole and if the government shut down what part of the system would be closed and what part would still open. The message the artist wants to send is that " Republicans need to work things out better and care for the elders and the poor too instead of being selfish and only care about the rich".

Political Cartoon 6

This political cartoon doesn't have a title but the caption says "southwest airlines is pleased to announce there will be no additional fee for outdoor seating" and I think the political cartoon itself has to do with the southwest airline incident. In this cartoon, there is a southwest airline plane, smoke, passengers and the top of the airplane is flying off. This emphasizes the lack of care of the airline systems with the planes. They should have checked the plane carefully before it takes off. They basically neglect their passengers. It seems like all they care about nowadays is money. The passengers really risk their life on these incidents. During class, we would also talk about the system of companies and the hardships and incidents that they have to deal with. The artist is trying to mock the southwest airline because of their lack of care.
