Symbols In Justin Trudeau's Numerical Cartoon

Improved Essays
Justin Trudeau presents an empty resume to Canada as this cartoon illustrates it.

The beaver symbolizes the pride of Canada since it is the national animal, so this helps the reader understand that the beaver is a very big part of the cartoon or the country. The beaver also symbolizes the voter, because they play a big role in the elections, since they decide who will be our Prime Minister. The Canadian Flag illustrates that the elections are Canadian not for any other origin. The background symbolizes the Parliament Hill, where the Prime Minister runs the country and deals with the situations of the citizens. Using these symbols I can comprehend that Justin Trudeau is at the Parliament Hill presenting

    Lester Bowles Pearson’s inauguration address of the national flag of Canada features inspiration, patriarchy and unity that one can associate with Canada’s national pride. Today, the national flag embodies a message of nationality and a badge to show identity at the Olympic Games, Canadian organizations and businesses. The white and red flag, featuring a red 11-point maple leaf in the center of two red strips on opposite ends was inaugurated on February 15, 1965. A rhetorical analysis divulges the varying themes of success with which Pearson employs pathos, logos and ethos.
