imperialism cartoon


  • The main visual elements in the cartoon is a black map of Africa with a big footprint in the middle of it.

  • The cartoon is about all the people/countries who moved to Africa and took control of it. The continent is still suffereing from the mess that the European's left behind.

  • I think that the cartoonis who drew the picture thought the same, since he drew it. The cartoon seems to say that Africa was no longer Africa, after all those people moved there and ruined it. That's where the big foot comes in. Foreigners practicaly changed Africa forever.

I think this article has a good chunk of general information, but i would like to see a little bit more specific things in your article. I liked how you mentioned that Africa was in crisis back then, and that it is still in crisis today. I also think you organized your article well, and added bullet points in all the correct places.

(tip) notice the color of the footprint and the map, it could mean something

You do a good job of analyzing the basic info from the cartoon. I also like your opinion of what the cartoon represents. However, maybe you could get a little more specific, and relate back to an event that might have taken place in the imperial age. Also, back it up a bit more by talking about the artistic elements of the cartoon. The structure of the paragraph is great, easy to read, and informational.
