revision paper
what i wrote: In Barry Blitt’s political cartoon “yearning to breathe free,” hHe is implying that America is not welcoming our immigrant children as they it should be. The cartoon illustrates young, afraid, sweet-looking children hiding in Lady Liberty’s robes. Lady Liberty is a significant symbol of America being a country of immigrants, and her plaque famously states, “’Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” ‘ The illustrator uses logos rhetoric to explain thatin portraying this significant symbol of America, which indicates that America should allow the tired and poor in huddled masses into the country freely. He also uses pathos to appeal to the audience’s emotions, using beautiful children to represent the huddled masses that the artist feels should be welcomed into America.
