Analyze “The Bosses of the Senate” political cartoon by Joseph Keppler beyond the most obvious level.

Political cartoons, at their best, can show a national ire or appreciation of circumstances. Rarely does this medium hide the agenda or bias being reflected in the art. Though messages in this format are frequently clear to the viewer, understanding them can show a clear understanding of an era or concept.

Your assignment is to show me that you UNDERSTAND the message and meaning behind the cartoon of your choosing.

– There is no LENGTH that is or is not correct. Make sure it is long enough, but concise and pithy.

– I DO NOT need a description of the entire cartoon. Reflect on the cartoon. Give a general description as it applies to your argument.

– Please arrange your response in the traditional MLA / THESIS- BODY- CLOSING format.

– Citation is not needed in this assignment: the thoughts must be your own.

– I am slightly flexible when it comes to grammar mistakes; however, if it is clear that format and grammar rules are completely disregarded- count on it having an impact.
