 Nate Beeler, The Washington Examiner, 09/06/2008 Shown in this cartoon, both Obama and McCain are shown talking about change to an audience. In Obama's bubble, the word change is written in a cursive font with horns, flowers, birds, and butterflies. However, McCain's bubble shows a discombobulated combination of letters spelling out "change" in planks of wood and bricks, showing that McCain is only "fixing" change and not completely for actually changing how things work. Obama is shown as a people person; expressing ideas in a well mannered fashion, while McCain is shown with a blank expression and stiff in character. This cartoon shows how both candidates speak to the people and how they are in character when it comes to the argument of change. Obama is obviously a better speaker when it comes to talking for the people instead of just talking to them as McCain does. Obama is free-flowing when speaking, while McCain is stiff and seems blank in expression. |

I completely agree with your response to this cartoon. When juxaposed, one can see that Barack Obama is a better speaker than John McCain. Obama does seem more like a people person than McCain. When Obama speaks, the listener automatically feels like he is connecting with what Obama is saying. Obama is going to change things in America, while John McCain is just trying to "fix" but not really doing anything about the problems that America faces.

Throughout this election, Obama and McCain both have argued about how they want a "change" in America, but one's speech seems more convincing then the others. When juxtaposing the two images, Obama's message of "change" looks far more effective than McCain's bubble. I agree with sarah's comment, "Obama is going to change things in America, while John McCain is just trying to "fix" but not really doing anything about the problems that America faces." Brittany, by boarding your analysis about how the image juxtaposes the word "change" with each candidate, made your analysis more effective. Good job!  |

Good, but keep anlaysis in first paragraph; reply to classmate a bit underdeveloped.
