How do you create a political cartoon?

1. I think you analyze a political cartoon by looking at the picture and using it to try and understand the meaning of the cartoon.

2. The big point I got out of the guide to analyzing a political guide is to look for symbolism, exaggeration, and labeling to help you get a better understanding of the cartoon.

3. Going forward in my political cartoon I am going to find keys in the cartoon that will help me get a better understanding for the cartoon.

 This cartoon is of the Spanish American war. Uncle Sam is standing in Cuba with a native and there is a Spanish boat leaving Cuba showing that America had pushed Spain out of Cuba. I looked for keys in this cartoon to help me understand it.
