Isis In Iraq

Improved Essays
Ever since Barack Obama has been elected as president he has been under heat and has faced many obstacles regarding Iraq, Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine. The war between America and Isis in Iraq has evolved. Isis is the number one threat in Iraq because they threatened America and have killed millions. America is also dealing with Syria because of the constant conflict between the two regarding chemical weapons and the killing of civilians and their cooperation with Isis. The problem in Ukraine is that Russia has declared war with Ukraine for their land and America is struggling to protect them. The artist who made the political cartoon portrays Obama golfing with an associate that says “ANOTHER NICE DRIVE! YOU’RE ON FIRE, MR.PRESIDENT.” Then when you look to the right of the cartoon you see fire approaching them with the names of country’s Iraq, Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine. The artist of the cartoon is Steve Breen. He produces political cartoons discussing current issues in America and other country’s involved with America. He does cartoons for websites all on the topic of politics and he also writes books. …show more content…
The artist displays Obama golfing because he wants to demonstrate the lack of care Obama has and that he would rather play golf then deal with political disorder occurring throughout the world. Therefore, the political cartoon is very effective because it is true to its meaning but it’s also a joke, so the point can vary depending on your viewpoint. As the artist uses diction to portray its meaning, he also gives the audience a clear idea on what’s being said. The cartoon has bright red flames and a light blue sky with a dark background. These set of colors demonstrate the importance of what’s being said because it uses bright colors to emphasize what’s

    I found Barry Levinson’s Wag the Dog the most memorable because of how accurately it reflects recent events in the United States. As the film’s conflict stems from sexual allegations made against the president, it mirrors the women that have accused President Trump of sexual harassment and assault. As the allegations are now garnering the attention of public media, I am curious to see if it will be handled similarly to the film; will tensions with foreign policy be escalated with events like the North Korea nuclear scare or the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital? Similar to the character Motss’ decision to create foreign unrest with the fake war in Albania, the public scrutiny surrounding Trump may be combated with foreign policy moves to dampen the consequences. As seen with the “Old Shoe”, the film’s satirical take on the blind…
