- These words are being used to describe this cartoon because Donald Trump is trying to become the elected offical to run in the presidential election for the Republicans and he is only throwing one "card" to make his opponent (Barack Obama) look bad.
- A trumpet is represented in this cartoon and I think its only to put emphasis on his name "Trump" and also to make fun of the fact that he has not mentioned anything else but this same topic.
- The action taken place in the cartoon is Donald Trump playing the trumpet and coming out the trumpet is a music note with the words "Obama's Birth Certificate".
- The message of the cartoon is that Donald Trump is in no way shape or from capable of representing the Republicans in the presidential election of 2012. He has no proof of the allegations that he made and he is making the Republicans as a whole look extremely bad. The ideological perspective represented by the cartoonist is somewhat liberal because it seems as though he is speaking out on the stupidity of this whole thing.
- This cartoon relates to a current political event because it is in headlines today, Obama will be seeking re-election and Donald Trump hopes to be his opponent. It relates to our class discussion because just like we discussed how Carnahan won the election in the film "Can Jeff go to Washington?" due to his family name. I believe Donald Trump feels as though he can run for president because of his economic status.
- Satire and irony influence this cartoon because the artist is making fun of Donald Trump saying that he needs to say more about himself and have a better argument than what he has.
- The caption is budget cuts and the caption is "its the only crossing guard they can afford". These words are being used to describe this cartoon because they represent one of the affects of the budget cuts.
- Represented in this cartoon, are school children and a crossing guard. I think the artist means that if we continue to get money cut from our budget we wont have things like crossing guards to keep the children safe.
- The children are crossing the street and the crossing guard is fake so they are in harms way if they do not look for cars or if cars don't see them.
- The message of the cartoon is that we need the money they are taking away even for the little things like crossing guards that they think are not important. The artist ideological perspective is an independent because you cant really tell if he agrees with the budget cuts or not.
- This cartoon relates to a current political event because they have cut funding for schools and this will affect major things like art programs, books, etc. It relates to class discussion because as students we need to know what is going on so we have talked about how the budget cuts will affect our education.
- Satire and irony relate to the topic in the cartoon because he made the crossing guard a scare crow and that is unreal it was supposed to exaggerate the cartoon to get the point across.
