Answer:

Explanation:

Today I will be analyzing an Australian Political cartoon targeting a current issue- Tony Abbott and his Asylum seeker policy

I have chosen a relevant cartoon by Cathy Wilcox, published in the Sydney Morning Herald on the 22nd of December 2013. I’ll firstly outline the cartoon’s contextual information, after which I’ll explore the satirical elements used by Wilcox to persuade the readers of her perspective. Finishing with an evaluation of the cartoons effectiveness.

The facial expressions and symbols used enhance the cartoon’s incongruity. The ticket seller’s immensely large grin suggests there is more to this lottery offer than meets the eye, alongside his remark “Get your lottery tickets here!” an unusual phrase to hear in refugee areas. The sign written with Australia, $5000…. states the price of a lottery ticket though the ellipses imply that a greater cost is involved. They are gambling with money as well as taking big risks with their lives with no guarantee of safely reaching Australia. The refugees’ anxious expressions show their realization of the dangers but their disparity forces them to take these risks. Finally, to the effectiveness of this cartoon.
