Political cartoons are said to be an exaggerating and categorizing opinion of a persons’ point of views. In the drawing by Nate Beeler, Trump is unfairly prejudicing Muslims which seems to be acceptable by Adolf Hitler. The exaggeration could be understandable, but the truth underlying it could just be the obvious. The artist gives the impression of saying Donald Trump’s statements and ideas leave him to be identified with Hitler. The work is representing the idea that Trump’s discriminatory views towards all Muslims, including innocent, is no different than Hitler’s ideas pertained to the innocent Jews, making them to be in the same category. The artist can cause so many opinions, emotions, and thoughts just by adding this simple character to his work.

The rise of emotion can cause a scare because Hitler was somebody who ruined millions of people’s life in his country and to think that something can happen again especially near home could cause an uneasy feeling on people. Knowing the history of Hitler, from his concentration camps, to his prejudices view, or his immoral acts and behaviors, one would find Trumps comparison to him alarming. In the drawing Trumps speaks of getting rid mosques and making Muslims walk around with IDs. Not only did Hitler’s Nazi group cause the Kristallnacht, the night of Jewish buildings and synagogues burned and smashed, he also labeled Jews for

    Success. Seven letters, two syllables, and essentially, the goal of almost every person to walk the planet. The interesting thing about success is that it isn’t a set in stone goal, but an ideology. With each person, success is redefined, argued, and tried. Success comes in different forms and levels, but at the end of the day every person who has been deemed successful mentions one word: failure. Yet, it isn’t failure in of itself that produces success, but the determination and desire to work through it. Failure can only indoctrinate when an individual decides to work past it and improve from it. Often, however, the strenuous process of failure and grit is glamorized, and the true factors that play into success are forgotten. For example,

  • The Yellow Wallpaper Rhetorical Analysis

    245 Words  | 1 Pages

    In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Gilman, the author utilizes repetition to showcase the growing frustration of the main character towards her husband’s ineffective treatment. Gilman repetitively asks herself “But what is one to do?” Her repetitive questioning conveys to the reader that the treatment that her husband is giving her for her illness is obviously not working. In reality, her husband is unable to figure out what she has and he only puts her in isolation to hope she gets better. This puts an emphasis on the growing frustration the main character is feeling; she knowns that the treatment is not working and she knows her situation is only getting worse. She is frustrated at this, which is evident through her questioning.

This representation proposes how the Jews facing the Nazis are as helpless as a mouse caught by a cat. The first part for instance, is introduced by a quotation from Hitler in which he deprives the Jewish race of human qualities by reducing them to a mere vermin: “The Jews are undoubtedly a race but they are not human: (Spiegelman I, 4).

    Politics. Politics control this world, and sometimes for the worst. Politicians can be deceiving, and lie right to you, with no signs of remorse. They can be the worst type of human being, manipulating you for their own cause. They can be evil. In America, the next presidential election is approaching, and we have many of these politicians trying to become our next president. Although there are many, I 'm going to concentrate on one. Donald Trump. He is a corrupt politician, and a cancer to our society. This man is so malevolent, he is drawing comparisons to one of the most barbarous men of all time, Adolf Hitler. These men are eerily similar, and I am uneasy knowing that someone that could be our next president is showing similarities to a mass murderer. These are not erroneous claims.

  • Muslim American Identity

    Again, this functions in accordance with the post-9/11era tendency in which the, “conception of the American citizen… [is] centered on opposition to Arabs and Muslims”10 based on the assumption that those identities are antithetical to American identity. As such, the American flag hijab is employed to explicitly place the Muslim woman at the United States, and thus, American end of the spectrum. Though many saw this imagery as a progressive a denunciation of the tendency to see Muslim Americans as inherently terrorist, the full title of the poster, “We the People are greater than fear,” acknowledges the ‘bad’ Muslim identity by suggesting that Muslims are not to be feared. This places the Muslim American directly within this good/bad tendency, which is problematic in various ways. Firstly, this paradigm also functions as a system of othering, in which the Muslim American may be othered from the American community and, thus positioned as a terrorist or terrorist adjacent; however, this does not always work in reverse, because, while denouncing terrorism is a requirement for the hyphenated Muslim American

    Lao Tzu once said, “Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.” This quote is saying that death is an inevitable definiteness in life. In Virginia Woolf’s essay The Death of the Moth, there is a struggle of life and death, which is delineated as a battle that is not ever won. Woolf utilizes fragmentation within the narration, metaphors to convey the message, and a feeling of pity. As the essay goes on, her metaphors and stylistic choices strengthen the idea that death cannot be beaten.
