Explain the cartoon to the best of your ability. You may need to do a little research on "occupy wall street" to better understand the cartoon. Explain any appeals and the rhetorical elements. DUE 10/28
These cartoon characters sound somewhat like my brother if he were not satisfied with what he got. What a brat!
This cartoon appeals to pathos because of the emotion the dressed up children express through their dissapointment of the candy they got.
The cartoon reflects upon the "occupy wall street" because the wealthy 1% is giving the other 99% nothing.
The cartoon appeals to logos because the "99%" should get at least some of what they want. Which gives the example of trick-or-treating because no one would go trick-or-treating if they knew they weren't going to get what they want. The cartoon doesn't appeal to ethos though.
The "Occupy Wall Street" protests have recently taken a turn for the worst. With certain developments including the gassing of a protesting area, and a certain protester being savagely beaten basically to the brink of death; one could inquire: Has the ideology behind the 'right to peacefully protest' been altered?
Dracula in this cartoon represents the media's opinion on the protests themselves. When Dracula states: "...get what it is we finally figure out that we want.." he is actually inversely stating that he(they) doesn't(don't) actually know what he(they) wants(want) and therefore his(their) claim is irrelevant. The media portrays "Occupy Wall Street" as an un-organized organization: "The group’s lack of cohesion and its apparent wish to pantomime progressivism rather than practice it knowledgeably is unsettling...".
This political depiction to me induced a sense of irritation, and contempt. The jabbering of the 'Occupy Halloween' protesters would be enough to enrage anyone!!! Although in all actuality I don't think they would come across as annoying.
The over-enthusiastic gentleman standing idly by the doorway says it all. He depicts the governments drastic change in finances over the last few year, being the meager 1% sliver of America that has gotten wealthier recently, while the rest of us are struggling more than ever to make ends meet. The trick-or-treaters are the 99% of people left, who are fed up with the constant paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle and the "constant demands". The cartoon plays out with the usual prey vs. predator outlook, with the man at the doorway being the one with power (the 1% of America) while the rest of us, are the protestors with a number of grievances to complain about.
The appeal is pathos because you are left feeling bitter and angry at the current financial situation of America.
The cartoon depicts trick or treaters, humorously protesting the man who is giving them the candy in the first place. The artist is comparing the trick or treaters to the wall street protesters who seem to be protesting without any solid reasoning or organization, and really without having any affect. The cartoon appeals to pathos because the trick or treaters are making completely ignorant remarks given the situtation that are based off of what some of the wall street protesters are saying. I think the artist is just trying to say that the wall street protesters need to get themselves together if they actually want to have an affect.
Recently many protestors have "occupied" Wall Street as a form of protesting the government. This is fairly ineffective because as the cartoon shows with a batch of trick-or-treaters, they can't get themselves organized enough to make a stand. In response to this the man just stands by and gives a "wow" look while the children argue amongst themselves and make indecisive demands.The cartoon uses pathos by making us feel sorry for the kids and their situation, however they should still, like the Wall Street occupants they represent, get organized and come up with a substantial arguement if they want to get anywhere.
This cartoon is depicting the protesters on Wall Street protesting the the social and economic inequality. this cartoon shows the man who has the candy as the wealthy 1% and the childeren who want the candy as the other 99%. Although this cartoon also shows how unorganized these protests are, but they all agree on the fact that they wont leave till they have what they came for. Pathos is highly appealed in this cartoon, since the majority of the U.S. citizens fall under the 99% it makes you sympathize with thoughs on Wall Street. Ethos is also present since the statisics of corperate power over the government show just how unequil everything truly is.
This cartoon appears to be a vent of frustration from the artist. The gentleman handing out candy at the door is unexpectedly barraged with these three trick or treaters, who are apparently outraged at being asked, 'what kind of candy do you want'? The man handing out candy was merely trying to be nice, but instead received a backlash both unexplained and unorganized. Lately the media has criticized the Occupy Wall Street movement for being unorganized and unsure of what they are there for, demonstrated in the comments of Occupiers, who each seem to give a different reason for being at the movement. There is no order or cohesion amongst either the trick-or-treaters or the Occupiers.
The cartoon uses pathos well, causing you to sympathize with the man at the door who unexpectedly is faced with ungrateful children. It wouldn't surprise you if he just closed the door and turned stopped answering the door, which would likely give you some modicum of glee.
There is an appeal to logos by portraying the children, who are whining over some conceived injustice or problem, as those who are the ones creating the problem.
The artist seems to understand his subject, at least from his viewpoint, by showing the ridiculousness of Occupy Wall Street by turning it into 'Occupy Halloween'. At the same time, he is able to lighten the mood through the situation he depicts his material as.
The author is using this picture and gearing it towards adults, because childern wouldn't understand this to what its full extent that is trying to be said. The criss in wall street started with the banks. They started to fail and credit raitings and stock exchange went to drasticly bad levels to both extremes. The Candy is the money, and the children are the people on wall street begging for what they want.
Tatyanna Brown-Ibarra tbrown-ibarra@aoths.net to me show details Oct 27 (4 days ago) This cartoon is clearly displaying how the media sees the Occupy Wall Street protesters. They say the protesters are unorganized and don’t know what they really want. However, the protesters started on the basic idea of the drastic difference between the wealthy one percent of Americans and the ninety-nine percent of Americans who are middle class or poor. The Occupy Wall Street protesters have no real leader and haven’t come across with any real demands from their protesting. In this cartoon these trick-or-treating kids are the Occupy Wall Street protesters who are disorganized, don’t have a leader voicing their demands, and don’t even know what they really want. The adult is meant to be Wall Street who simply tolerates the kids (protesters), but really finds them to be annoying.
The cartoon appeals to logos through the fact that at the bottom it says Occupy Halloween like the Occupy Wall Street protesters which is something that can be researched and understood, somewhat like a fact. How the kids are acting is similar to how people see the Occupy Wall Street protesters behaving as a group, something that can also be looked up. The only ethos is the fact that he sees the protesters as disorganized, leaderless, and clueless as to what they want and many people might believe this to be true as well and so give the cartoonist some credibility with them. If other members of the audience don’t see this view as correct he will lose credibility with them, so it depends on audience beliefs. The cartoon appeals to pathos in the fact that anyone faced with demanding little kids is likely to tolerate them kindly at first before becoming extremely annoyed. Anyone who believes the Occupy Wall Street protesters are like how the kids behaving will be angered by these frustrating kids (protesters) and side with the cartoonist.
Megan Strauss mstrauss@aoths.net to me show details Oct 27 (4 days ago) Basically this cartoon is saying that the parent is the 1% of the US that is wealthy and the children are the 99% that aren't wealthy. The Occupy Wall Street is where the 99% of the US don't have an agenda to change it where the wealthy and the non wealthy are treated equally. They know what they want done but they don't have the steps or procedures to get to it. So the parent being the wealthy is asking what they want done, while the kids being the non wealthy are saying that they know what they want but they don't know exactly how to get there at the moment.
This cartoon speaks to the 99% of the US that are trying to get the whole equal ness of the government with the 1% of the US. This appeals to pathos because it really isn't fair that the rich are getting richer and having a say in the government and the poor are just getting poor. The middle class is slowly disappearing.
Aaron MacDonald amacdonald@aoths.net to me show details Oct 28 (3 days ago) I can't stay signed into my blog again. This is what I said This cartoon uses trick or treaters to paint a picture of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Many of the OWS (as Glenn Beck calls them because it's ow as in what you say when you get hurt)don't have a common goal in mind. They're all protesting for different things. These tricker treaters have no idea why they're occupying that person's porch yet, and they're not going to leave until they get what they want. The thing is, like the OWS, they don't know exactly want they want or have a common ground for what they want. I think that this mainly appeals to pathos because it's bringing up how you feel about the Occupy protestors. The speaker is John Kole (at least that's what it looks like the name says. The audience is anyone who knows about the Occupy protestors, and probably mainly the protestors themselves to realize how stupid their protesting is. The subject is about how lame and dumb the Occupy Wallstreet and any other Occupy protestors are.
This cartoon appeals to logos because of the 99% that is in middle class giving things to those that are in the 1%, the rich class. It also appeals to pathos because of the children standing there complaining that the man, that I guess, is supposed to represent Wall Street is actually asking them what they want, when they themselves don't know.
