Cartoon

Here is the analysis of the cartoon we talked about in class:

The cartoon from the website “ashpolitics“ deals with the success of the Civil Rights Movement. This is shown through the two parts into which the cartoon is divided. In the left picture you can see a woman wearing glasses, a skirt and a coat who holds on to her purse and a bag while looking out of the window of a bus. In the right corner of this part of the cartoon one can read “1955”. The picture next to it is almost identical in its composition. The only difference is that a man in a suit and with a tie is sitting in a limousine with his suitcase next to him and the year “2008” written in the top right corner. [= detailed description] The woman is supposed to represent Rosa Parks, the woman who inspired the Civil Rights Movement by refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated bus in Montgomery/Alabama in 1955. The man in the other picture shows Barack Obama, the current president of the United States, who was elected in 2008. [= explain the meaning of the things described and present context/ background knowledge] The cartoonist wants to show with his cartoon the development of the rights of African Americans in the United States. He presents both the starting point of the Civil Rights Movement with Rosa Parks and the ending with the election of an African American into the highest office in the country. Proudly, the cartoon shows that Ms Park’s brave act has achieved a lot within the society of the United States. [Describe the cartoonist's intention]
