Visual literacy

Try your hand at analysing the following cartoons.
Remember to focus on the following:
1. Who are the characters represented? Is stereotype or caricature used? How?
2. What is the background and setting? What is the context of this cartoon? You need general knowledge of current affairs to answer this.
3. What language and punctuation is used? How does this affect the mood or tone and impact the humour?
4. What actions are depicted? How is this done? Through kinetic lines, facial expressions and/or symbols?
5. What is the objective of this cartoon and how has it been achieved?
