War Before Jobs? War Before Jobs? By: Scarlett Garwood

The Purpose? The purpose of this cartoon is to show that jobs aren’t as frequent as disputes on war.

The Audience? The audience is every American citizen within voting age.

The Technique? The cartoon shows a soldier and a graduate standing side by side, with a caption that states, “I figure it’s easier to find a war than a job these days.” This is a representation that soldiers can find more jobs than a graduate can.

The Focal Point? The focal point of this cartoon is the soldier and graduate standing side by side. After you look at the soldier and graduate your eyes are drawn to the witty caption.

Logos? This cartoon appeals to logic because graduates are prepared for a career when they can seldom find them. The government should make it where graduates get their careers easier.

Ethos? This cartoon appeals to ethics because society sees that wars are more common than careers. Society sees that jobs are more important than wars over seas.

Pathos? This cartoon appeals to emotion because people who have degrees can’t support themselves/families. Also government is more interested in war and abandons it’s people.

Point of View? The point of view comes from any American who has had training for a career, where there is no job market.
