Select a cartoon from Cartoonstock(opens in a new tab). Analyze the cartoon’s tone, purpose, and ambiguity.
Please provide a link to your chosen cartoon so your instructor has some context.
Create a 2-3 paragraph story based on the message you believe the cartoon creator has intended to send.
As you are writing your story, include some of the following:
Connotation – Have fun with this, use figurative language or get creative with your word choice to really drive the point home
Denotation – What is clear about this cartoon and cannot be disputed?
Irony – Is there verbal irony? Situational irony? Include this in your story. What kind of irony might be in the cartoon you have chosen
Ethos, pathos, logos (choose one of these persuasive appeals as you write your story)
Write an additional paragraph to identify:
The purpose of the story. Provide examples from your story that support your purpose.
The overall tone of your story. Again, provide examples.
How your use of connotation or denotation affects the tone.
The method you used to appeal to your audience (ethos, pathos, or logos). Provide examples
