Politcal Cartoon #5

http://www.cagle.com/2012/01/two-party-system/

1. The cartoon was drawn by Pat Bagley.
2. The key things in the cartoon are the elephant and the donkey. The elephant represents the republican party and the donkey represents the democratic party.
3. The device uses caricature. The drawing of donkey and the elephant is exaggerated.
4. The cartoon deals with the representation of the poor in politics, government and political parties.
5. The cartoon's message is that the poor are not represented at all. The two party system if for the benefit of the middle and rich class, not the poor.
6. This cartoon is from a poor person's point of view who believes that they are not represented by any political party.
