Rod Blagojevich got arrested a few years back for trying to sell Obabams seat in Chicago. Being in jail for this amount of time he will try to run for mayor again in chicago hes just sitting and waiting to take it back, because they havent found him guilty to some degree.
It really appeals to those that pay enough attention in the political area of life and maybe to those in Chicago.
The aauthor is trying to say that when rod Blagojevich is out of jail he will just get his spot as mayor back anyways, so no matter what we do i feel like we cant do anything to stop it anyways
Former Governor Blagojevich’s staggering 18 counts of corruption surely stands as a symbol of continual depleting trust between the American People and their Government. Since his conviction in late 2009, the Governor had denied any claim made against him concerning his attempted selling of the Chicago seat, until Wednesday. He finally confessed before a federal judge and in-turn received 14 years of prison time. Although some thought it harsh that he should receive such a rock hard sentence when Governor’s before him charged with corruption crimes were left with less than 7 years in the pen. Mr. Blagojevich showed little reaction to his sentence, though his lawyers had argued vehemently for a far shorter term. He seemed aware by Wednesday that a significant prison term was inevitable, and, technically, the charges could have put him behind bars for life.
This political depiction appeals to both Ethos and Pathos. In-fact, Ethos as-well as Pathos are both established by the same object in this political cartoon, the poster. The poster establishes Ethos by giving the scene a political feel, and establishing that a (former) man of importance resides within the cell. On the other hand, Pathos is established through the poster, and through the smirk on Blajoevich’s face, to foster thoughts that scream out: retribution was not delivered, and some-how maybe the former Governor played the system yet again.
Rod Blagojevich, a former Illinois governor, was involved in multiple controversies regarding his conduct in office, such as attempting bribery and offering President Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder. He was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison in 2011. You see him in his jail cell, smiling at a sign saying 'Rod Blagojevich 2026', indicating that he plans to run for office somewhere again. The cartoon portrays Blagojevich's sentencing as almost pointless and ineffectual. It says that the political atmosphere in our country is so polluted that even this guy, who's been convicted of enough crimes to have him banned from ever holding office in Illinois again, even he can hold office again.
The cartoon uses on ethos and pathos. I say there is no logos because I hope that after knowing his history, no one would be insane enough to actually want him in public office again. I believe that the artist fuels the feeling of frustration and futility the American public often feels with their politicians by suggesting Blagojevich can get back into office. The artist establishes his own ethos by playing on Blagojevich's lack of ethos and by aligning himself with the public in the rather sarcastic sense the cartoon takes on. He shows he knows his subject and thus further establishes his own ethos.
The general interpretation of this cartoon is that Rod Blagojevich isn't going to give up. He was the 40th Govern of Illinois from 2003 to 2009. He was arrested for federal corruption and the conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. On December 7, 2011, Blagojevich was sentences to fourteen years in jail. In the cartoon you see Blagojevich sitting on the bed smiling at a big poster. A big poster that says "Rod Blagojevich 2026". It seems that his going to look forward to being released from prison, so that he can run for governor again. The appeals of this cartoon are pathos. Because Blagojevich is dreaming of running again after getting out of jail. But he was banned from the holding public office in the State of Illinois. This also appeals to ethos, because Blagojevich has pride that he will be able to return and be able to run for elections.
Rod Blagojevich, who was once a governor of Illinois and who was found guilty on several accounts of federalcorruption and fraud, is even now with all odds againsed him going to try to regain that positon in 2026. Im sure that now even in jail Blagojevich is beginning to plan his election after his 14 year sentence is done. Pathos is highly appealed here due to the fact that Blagojevich has tried some pretty scandellous things in the past while ethos is pplied in the sence that you can see the ripple affect that Blagojevich's actions have had on trust with the government. Logos is finially appealed to by the thinking that no one will in their right mind re-elect him to office.
This artist of this cartoon is rather bold with their message. They portray former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, in his prison cell. When we send people to prison the intent is usually to give the criminals an incentive to STOP committing crime. However, there we have Rod Blagojevich smirking at his campaign poster on the prison wall. He looks quite smug although he's in jail.
Rod Blagojevich has been convicted of many different frauds and corruptions is planning to RETURN to office in 2026, when he is released. This speaks volumes about the cartoon. The artist uses logos in the sense that he is really making people think about this situation: Blagojevich is infamous for his corruption, and when the artist depicts this corruption, it is also like pointing out how our government is also growing corrupt (or at least heading in that direction).
The artist also appeals to Pathos. The artist appears to try to invoke a sense of logic and justice to his viewers. It's a warning to be wary of people like this man who are corrupt and are yet trying to gain power.
I also think that the artist appeals to ethos. Most people that see this cartoon will easily relate with the artist. They will most likely have similar feeling of caution when handling Blagojevich. They will easily feel a sense of a connection with the artist and trust. There must be justice.
I have absolutely no idea who Rod Blagojevich is but going off of what everyone else has said about him, he is quite a bright guy if he feels he should run for office after getting out of prison.
You can only make appeals to the cartoon if you are familiar with who Blagojevich, but logos is quite obvious as to the fact that no one will vote him into office after everything thats happened.
If only pathos stood for pathetic, because he is just hoping to run for office! haha
Even without knowing what Rod Blagojevich did to land himself in prison, you can safely assume that he did something that was pretty bad. You can aslo assume that he did something that stopped him from being a politician, and prevented him from becoming the president. Pathos is appealed to greatly because you may feel upset at the poster and what it symbolizes. Ethos is appealed to because you know the author must know about Blagojevich and his craziness. But you also question the authors' perspective, because who would still be hoping to become president after time in jail? There is an appeal to logos because you can rationally think that he will not get voted into office again, even in 2026.
Tatyanna Brown-Ibarra I think this cartoon is saying that even a guy like Rod Blagojevich still holds hope for being elected in 2026. He will by then be out of prison, but in reality he could never be the governor of Illinois again because he was banned for life from holding a public office in the state of Illinois because of illegal actions in the past when he was the governor of Illinois. Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. He has no hope of being elected to a public office and he knows it. He seems to be playing the system again like when he was in office with his little smirk concerning his trying to run for office again. This shows how far politics have fallen in the U.S. as even a person convicted of federal corruption charges thinks he has a chance to be elected. Can Americans even really trust their elected politicians anymore? This cartoon seems to be saying that we can’t.
The cartoon appeals to ethos as the cartoonist sides with American citizens, who often feel like they can’t trust their government and its officials. He appeals to ethos in the fact that he has a negative view of Blagojevich, who encompasses the idea of a non-trustworthy politician. Appeals to logos can be seen with the fact that he knows information about Blagojevich’s past through the date of the campaign poster. Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in prison and the year he “plans on running for election” is when he should be released from prison. His largest appeal comes in the form of pathos. The cartoonist knows that citizens are angry over the fact that they don’t always know who to trust when it comes to politics and the cartoonist exploits this fact. The cartoonist wants their frustration to be evident and shows that their frustration is founded by making an example out of Blagojevich.
Rob Blagojevich was incarcerated for attempting to sell the seat left vacant when Barack Obama was elected president. It was a great scandal so the name alone is a plain appeal to Ethos, not to mention the hair. Logos and Pathos are not strongly represented here.
This cartoon could be interpreted in several different ways. I believe it is a reference to the current race for the Republican presidential candidacy. It is only just starting to have a consistent front runner, and only by a small margarine at that. With accusations of crimes and unethical behavior running rampant through the Republicans ranks it is a humorous notion that Blagojevich would think he has a shot.
Aaron MacDonald This cartoon is showing Rod Blagojevich sitting in his jail cell after getting his prison term for selling seats in the senate. The poster on the wall is showing the election that's going to happen after he gets out of jail and says that he would want to run. I also think that it is saying that there are so many terrible candidates who plan to run for the presidency. Not many people like the GoP candidates who are running and many people think that they are crazy and unfit to be president. Infact the vocalist of the metal band Lamb of God is running for president now. There are some pretty far out there candidates.
I feel that the artist of this cartoon appeals to ethos and shows the people that think that most of the presidential candidates nowadays are nut jobs that they're not alone. I also feel that the artist appeals to pathos and stirs up the emotion that the American people feel about the candidates which is disappointment. The artist also appeals to logos by using the fact that Rod Blagojevich is actually in jail.
The cartoon depicts Rod Blagojevich sitting in a jail cell because he has recently been sentenced to fourteen years in prison after attempting to sell a seat in the senate. He is staring at his future campaign slogan for presidency, (I'm assuming)and is seemingly content with how this has all worked out. I think the author is trying to say that it is ridiculous that Rod Blagojevich would even be considered as a possible candidate for election, and that this reflects on the voters, as it seems like anybody can get into office nowadays. I think the author appeals to logos because this is all based on fact, Rod Blagojevich was sentenced to jail after confessing his crime. I also think that the author appeals to pathos, because the image of a man hated by so many in the country imagining himself running it is meant to draw out emotions from the viewer.
Rod Blagojevich thinks that his political life isn't over. We see him in prison, grinning at his campaign poster that says "Rod Blagojevich 2026," presumably coming up with another one of his GREAT ideas to get into office (tongue in cheek). Many are aware of his attempt to sell Obama's senate seat, first to Oprah Winfrey and later to the highest bidder in an auction, and others are aware of his title of "Least Liked Governor." Either way, anyone who is informed knows that he has done some stupid things, and those stupid things have landed him in jail on a 14-year sentence. By the cartoon, we are shown that Blagojevich thinks that his political career isn't over, and that once he gets out of jail he will run for office and everything will be fine and well and good again.
This cartoon seems like it would appeal to logos and pathos for the majority of people, both appeals under the statement, "what kind of idiot does he think he is?" Any person with decent logic knows that he is not cut out for public office, and will likely not take him seriously in a future election. To pathos, this may upset some, or be humorous to others just because of how adamant Blagojevich is about obtaining office, by whatever means necessary.
However, for me, I view the wish for public office through different eyes; as somebody who seeks public office herself (on a smaller scale). I can understand why he might be grinning at his poster for his 2026 election, it's a big goal for him, and is something that gives him solace during his 14-year sentence. Those goals are an escape; by thinking, "Someday, I will do this with my life", it can give one comfort from the future, even when one has the odds stacked against them. I've been coming up with campaign ideas for my Student Council campaign since my freshman year, even though they didn't involve selling senate seats to Oprah. This may be an appeal to ethos and pathos for me, but I still think the man is pretty stupid for his actions.
A big believer in perseverance, Blagojevich is widely known for his erotic stunt in 2009's political controversy. An ex- governor of Illinois, he attempted to sell the empty seat in office when Obama was elected and solicited bribery over the course of his term which lead to his impeachment. In fact, Rod even landed himself a cozy cell for the next 14 years in prison. This cartoon is portraying that when he's out, he'll be back- and better then ever. The blown-up poster of "Blagojevich 2026" shows his future plan of penetrating the government once again. This lesson, was not learned.
The main appeal I believe is pathos because you are left wondering and feeling curious about what is going to happen next with Rod.
