Question

Political cartoon analysis answers, I nailed a 100 on it, so I know these are right

1. List all objects and people.
There’s a deck, a canoe, a donkeyman, an elephant man, and a big lady.

2. What are the captions and/or title (at the top)?
25 million women voters.

3. What 3 words help to identify objects, people, or important content?
The Political Canoe.


4. Are there important dates noted? If not, what time period do you think this is based on the content?
1920, when women were allowed to vote.

5. Describe the action.
Millions of women are getting involved with politics now, since they have the right to vote.

6. Explain the message of the political cartoon using complete sentences. (a prediction…?)
I think that people are afraid that women will have a much bigger impact on politics than they think.

Answer 1

1. A bridge, a boat, a fat woman leaving the bridge and entering the boat, a body of water and two anthropomorphized animals sent each side of the boat.

2. The image does not allow subtitles and titles to be, but it is possible to see that there is a banner on the mast of the point where it says "25 million women voters" and on the boat it says "The political canoe"

3. The three words that help to identify objects, people and important content are: The Political Canoe.

4. There is no important date being shown directly in the illustration, but we can see that the illustration refers to the moment when women gained the right to vote. This happened in 1920.

5. A very large and fat woman (who represented the union of all women in the country) wishes to be entering in any way into a canoe that is already inhabited by animals and that is too small to hold it.

6. This illustration conveys the message that the vote of women would be so impactful that it would totally change the balance maintained for years by the two political parties existing in the country, as well as it could change the entire political structure that everyone was used to.
