Post holiday/Welcome to the 2nd half of your senior year Xtra Credit

Happy New Year AP'ers! I hope you all have enjoyed your break, and are ready to begin the second half of the school year...I certainly am :)

As promised, here's an Xtra-Credit opportunity for you. I think its pretty simple and that all of you should be able to do it with very little difficulty.

Instructions: Read and analyze the political cartoon below. Take into consideration the details and the choices the cartoonist has made in this political cartoon. Every thing you see in the frame serves a purpose. Once you've analyzed the photo for its intended purpose, please answer :What type of appeal is this cartoon making? How does the cartoonist convey the message? Be specific.Think rhetorically. Note: For this assignment, you are not allowed to use the terms ethos, pathos and logos in your response. If it helps, you can get some contextual information about this cartoon and its source from http://cartoonbox.slate.com/hottopic/?image=1&topicid=340

Good Luck. See you all on Monday!
