in a stunning case of irony a fictional comic on the “welfare queen” by the onion's fake editorial artist “kelly” has been taken up by the very source of its satire; anti-welfare peddlers. rightfully so, the originally over the top cartoon has now become a representation of all that conservative republicans find wrong with social welfare. However, it goes beyond that,appearing at first like any american editorial cartoon with its simple lines with blatant labels on benign seeming personal attire. This cartoon uses these in an appeal to the emotions from a bystander's point of view in an example of the Pathos form of rhetoric, attempting to take it beyond a normal political cartoon and into the realm of satire . This comic looks and feels…

Looney Tunes Television is a prime example for stereotypes, especially in cartoons. For instance, in the Looney Tunes cartoon, Horse Hare, Bugs Bunny is hired by the USA cavalry as a sergeant to protect an army fort from the Indian army led by Yosemite Sam. Because of the use of derogatory terms and Native American stereotypes, this cartoon is rarely ever broadcasted on television because of ethnographic stereotyping. The Indians also speak in stereotypical broken English (“Red whiskered white man big loud mouth braggart”; “Me wouldn’t like to be me tonight”).…

Summer-time in the city brought me to different parts of the MTA that I never encountered before. Riding on the A line for the first time, I found myself catching a glimpse of these little fellows as my train pulled into the 14th Street station. Small, whimsical, pudgy (yes, I said pudgy) statuettes depict commonplace figures, such as a grimacing police woman, an officer (guarding a ball of tin foil), a homeless man sleeping under the stairway (the statue was placed there deliberately, I should think) and many more. As I walked by these figures, I found myself thinking back to my high school history class. These figure look a lot like the cartoon newspaper drawings of the late 1800- early 1900s depicting the bankers and politicians…

In Philosophical Hermeneutics, by Gadamer, he states “[t]he understanding of a text has not begun at all as long as a text remains mute” (43). A text is mute when you are trying to understand it, but it is not speaking to you. Whenever a text starts to speak, it never just speaks in the same voice; it always changes. When you were a child, you may have read Harold and the Purple Crayon, by Crockett Johnson. It would mean one thing considering you read it when you were a child; it would potentially be very literal.…
Most readers and analysists of Art Spiegelman’s Maus tend to become so focused on the grim nature of the comic’s subject matter that they overlook the possibility that there exists aspects beyond guilt and trauma that influence its narrative. Likewise, the most commonly overlooked of these aspects, and also possibly one of the most controversial, is humor. Throughout the centuries, individuals have employed humour, whether it be in the form of satire, irony, or understatement, to help them cope with trauma. Likewise, it comes as no surprise that, in detailing his father’s horrific experiences as a Jew in Nazi occupied Poland through a comic where Jews are represented as mice, Poles as pigs, and Germans as cats, Spiegelman employs humor. Moreover,…

The Nature of a Meaningful Life Thomas Mann's Mario and the Magician is about a family who took a vacation in one of the beaches in Italy. For the purposes of this paper, the nature of a meaningful life will be analyzed based on the article, with Kant and Mill as sources to defend such analysis. Desires, Emotions, and Moral Choices Kant believed that desires and emotions do not play an essential role with how a person rejects or embraces morality (Kant, Abbott & Denis, 2005). In fact, morality should not be influenced with desires and emotions because in itself, morality is a sense of duty. As such, actions which are guided by morality do not seek for rewards but instead, such actions seek to fulfill a duty, which should be considered…
