4. What is the cartoonist's point of view about the topic portrayed in the cartoon? Give examples to support your interpretation. The cartoonist's point of view is that Obama does not care about the Constitution. To show this they show Obama saying that he is sorry about the Koran being burnt then he says he is not concerned about this being burnt and he is holding the Constitution in his hands and it is on fire.
5. Is this cartoon persuasive? Explain why or why not. Yes the cartoon is persuasive. The reason it is persuasive is it is trying to get the audience to think that Obama is more concerned about the Islamic Koran being burnt then he is about following the Constitution. They want people to believe that to him the Islamic faith is more important than peoples rights.
6. What other techniques could the artist have used to make this cartoon more persuasive? To be honest I think the artist did a good job with the techniques they used and don't see anything else they could have done.
