Although modern-day political parties have embraced their animal symbols, there were many instances of the symbols being used as a form of ridicule, especially by artists who created political cartoons. Conduct Internet research to find
one historical political cartoon representation of the Democratic Party and one historical political cartoon representation
of the Republican Party. After selecting the two different cartoons, you will write a paragraph addressing the following:
• Discuss your interpretation of each of the cartoons. What do you think the artist's message was?
• Would it be a good idea to use these cartoons as sources for a factual research paper? Why or why not?
• Do you see bias in the cartoons? If so, explain. Or, can these cartoons be considered objective, unbiased Images?
• Label each reference to the sources with proper citation: any direct quotations or references should be followed by
the last name of the artist and the year of publication, in parentheses. Example: (Jones 2015).
• At the conclusion of your paragraph, properly cite both of your sources, following the guidelines of Image citation.
