Politcal cartoon














1-In this cartoon caption, it depicts a Japanese family being attacked from all three directions at the same time by the tsunami, the earthquake, and the Nuclear plant explosions. Those words are used to show what had recently happened to japan.

2- There are three sumo wrestlers and a Japanese couple. I think the artist is trying to say that japan got hit hard and it was not fair to them because their was no time lapse between all three occurrences.

3-The action taking place in this cartoon is the three occurrences ganging up on small japan.

4- The message of the cartoon basically tells the reader of how sad it is to be under the state of which Japan is in right now. There is no ideological perspective represented by the cartoonist in my opinion.

5- This cartoon really affected the stock market plus the economy itself. Surely it will take a long time for Japan to recuperate their losses. We can relate this to our class discussions through playing in the stock market and viewing it's influence within the stock market game.

6- It's satyric because it is drawn to be viewed as the Japanese getting overwhelmed with these problems at once.
