Editorial/Cartoon

1) The topic of this editorial and cartoon, is republicans taking the lead in the senate position. Both the cartoon and the editorial are both supporting republicans in the race.  

2) The cartoon represents republicans because it is a picture of Oresident Barack Obama getting "thank you letters" from republicans saying thank you, sarcastically, about having republicans lead in senate. The editorial represents this topic because it explains a race from a republican office, and his way to his position 

3) The editorial and the cartoon are related because they are both taking about republicans in the public office. They are different because the cartoon is more opionated about having a republican in office, and the editorial gives me information and story behind the article. 

4) I think the cartoon is better at getting the point across because it is more direct and easer to understand vs the editioral. It will always attract more people because it is a picture and not a lengthy article. 

5) The benefits of drawing a cartoon is being able to express you're self artistly and giving a point across that you feel strongly about. It can also spread awareness of the issue and give information. Drawbacks would be the people who disagree with you're piece and have something negative to say about it, but no matter what you do you will always have people unhappy.
