Week #4: Political Cartoon

In regards to SOAPS tone, the speaker of this political cartoon is most likely someone who is up to date in regards to politics. The occasion was that President Donald Trump’s gave his State of the Union speech during his address in the House chamber. The audience is anyone who is able to recognize the contention between the two leaders and, more broadly, among members of both political parties. The purpose is to demonstrate the amount of uproar that the public created as a result of Pelosi’s actions and how many found it disrespectful. Finally, the subject of this cartoon is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore a copy of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech right after he concluded it. Besides this, I think that the creator was very effective in making parallel structures between Pelosi and Trump with them both ripping up important documents but the only one that matters and gets any repercussions is Pelosi. As for me, while I understand that it may have been inappropriate for Pelosi to rip the speech at that time, I also believe that there is a double standard that allows Donald Trump to do a lot without anyone batting an eyelash but as soon as Pelosi does something, the entire world has an opinion on it.
