The cartoonist adds some techniques in the picture. For the emotional appeal, a man is sweat on his forehead, looks very scared and afraid. Although he stays in his own house and the door was locked, he stand in front of the door in order to block the entrance and avoid someone enter to his home.
The use of symbolism works to provides hints for audience. The cartoonist use eyes represent supervise or monitor. Regardless of the windows, television, computer or phone, there are many people oversee. It represent the government is monitor of you everywhere.
Using satire and humor tone to criticize and point out faults in government. Through the funny eyes observed the behavior of people everywhere to bring an irony message. Frankly speaking, homes suppose is a safe and comfortable place.
However, America, as a free and democratic country, still monitors the citizens and exploits citizen’s freedom. The government exist double standard, speaking and doing are two different things. It is a great irony.
There are some visual arguments in this cartoon. The eyes represent the government of America, she said “You can trust government”, however she still supervision of people. There are inconsistent between the government’s speech and the actual behavior, citizens will lose of trust for her.
After analysis of this cartoon, I guess the potential audience is people all over the world, especially American. People who dislike and abandon the government do like this cartoon, especially China government, whereas the government of America do not like due to it show her darkness.
Cartoonist contributes public discussion on contemporary social or political issues. Although some political picture without words, symbolism can provides hints for reader to explore and reflect the social issues by themselves. No doubt, political cartoon is quite powerful, cartoonists can persuade readers his/ her ideas on an issues through images and words.
