Background

• We have been examine political cartoons since the
  beginning of the year.
• They are considered an important form of
  expression in the Western world political
  cartoonists understand this and use it to
  their advantage by exaggerating the
  points they wish to express.
• A political cartoon is intended to send a clear
  message, with clear
  symbolism, that everyone can understand.
• In a time before literacy was common, political
  cartoons could be used to
  make a point with very few words
• It was a way to share a message with an
  entire population.
• You will now be a political cartoonist to share a
  point about the
  beginnings of the Cold War with
  the population of our class.
