1.Closely study any characters in the cartoon.

Based on your knowledge of local and world events, who can be identified?
As many people know from Nast's older political cartoons, elephants represent the republicans. The sunscreen I believe represent the borders saying that republicans keep wanting to just lather more and more on.

2. Look at the characters' style of dress and other visual clues including facial ex ressions, body language and a earance, and exaggerated facial or hysical characteristics. !he character's relaxed in a bathing suit, which could "ean that #e ublicans are having a great ti"e, while "aking other eo le's lives "iserable. !he facial ex ression looks like he has a dro ed $aw, which could "ean they are overloading olicy, but for so"e reason kee going at it %. &dentify any ob$ects or sy"bols in the cartoon.
The artist used a symbol with the elephant, which is the symbol for epublicans, and ridicule by making fun of republicans with their immigrantion !olicy. The sunscreen, as the lable says, is immigration reform policy that epublicans constantly push for.

'. #ead the ca tion or any text in the cartoon. (hat does it ex ress? !here is not "uch text to be exa"ined. !hough, as stated "any ti"es, the )uote stands for *+unscreen*, to "ean i""igration refor" and *(hite*, to "ean racist. (ith this the "ore i""igration refor" the "ore racist.

-. +tate the "essage or "ain ideas resented in the cartoon.

The main idea is that republican's Immigration !olicy is racist. The more and more they lather the more and more they are white"rascist. Then while they are making other peoples lives bad, they are rela#ing in peace.

.. &dentify any words or hrases that a ear "ost i" ortant. !he cartoon has very little words in it which "akes it all i" ortant, but the aritist did a great $ob highlighting the "ost i" ortant words. !he word sunscreen re resents the border refor". *(hite* basicly shows that the "ore i""igration olicy he uts on the "ore *white* he is. !hen the word &""igration /olicy is self, ex lainitory. 0. 1xa"ine the techni)ues the cartoonist uses to convey his "essage2 sy"bolis", ridicule, caricature, satire, uns.
$aying the sunscreen makes him look even more white I think means that with more border control the republicans look more and more racist. Also as previously stated the artist used a symbol with the elephant, which is the symbol for epublicans, and ridicule by making fun of republicans with their immigrantion !olicy.

3. &dentify what s ecial interest grou s would agree or disagree with the cartoon's "essage.
It's obious that most %emocratics and those who don't agree with the way the immigration reform is working would agree with this cartoon. I believe that epublicans and conservatives would disagree with this. Also a lot of new media I believe would disagree with this also.

4. +u""ari5e or ara hrase the cartoon's "essage or "ain idea.

&verall the political cartoon is saying that republicans are racist. They keep getting stricter on immigration and by doing this they believe that its because they are rascist, not because they want what's best for America. 'hile they do this, they are rela#ing in paridise.
