Government Shut DOWN



  • This cartoon does not display any title or caption.
  • The objects that are represented in this image is a newspaper, and two people the artist is trying to display a conversation between two people on a important topic.
  • The action that is taking place here is that over the weekend Government was to shut down and the woman asked the man what bad could happen by shutting down the government and neither one of them had an answer.
  • The message of this cartoon was to show that with or without government our country could not possibly get any worse than it already is. With all the things that are going on and the decisions that are being made government shutting down would not change a thing.
  • This relates to what a current political event that was to happen the weekend of the April 8, 2011.
  • This relates to our class discussion because we were speaking on what would change if this was to stay for a long period of time. For instance welfare and government ran programs would no longer exists.
  • The sarcasm that is showed here is that this was a real event but people didn't seem to think much of it. and the irony was that it was acted as if it was just an everyday topic.
