The cartoon shows that the ideas of JFK still effect presidents and those today.
The cartoonist doesn't exaggerate anything, it shows the exactly what it means.
This political cartoon is not about an issue but something good. It's just saying how well his ideas changed America.
That JFK was a not only a great president but a great president.
It's not really a persuasive cartoon. It's not telling the reader what to think, but telling them what they think.
Political cartoon pt. 2
➡️
This cartoon shows that the image presidents in the 1960's put out was better and more important than the images presidents today put out.
The cartoonist doesn't exaggerate anything! It shows exactly how society was then v.s. Now. The effect this cartoon has on the viewer is that it's better to live by older things that are better than newer things that are not relevant.
The issue in this cartoon is that we have a president now that couldn't do half a good job as JFK did.
I think The cartoonists opinion about this cartoon is that we need more people in society like Kennedy was.
This cartoon is in a way persuasive. They make you think about who you should vote for during elections that would actually make a difference.
