Analyzing Osama bin Laden Death Cartoons

 The eagle standing on top of Osama bin Laden represents how the United States is responsible for the death of Osama bin Laden. The words above the eagle explain how long the U.S. was trying to find the known terrorist. The way the U.S. is looking at Bin Laden shows how much focus was placed on getting rid of him.

The cartoon on the left shows the statue of liberty and Uncle Sam dancing and celebrating with a newspaper saying that Bin Laden is dead. They both represent the U.S., but I think they also represent newfound freedom, justice and safety in the U.S.

Osama bin Laden Newspaper Headlines

This newspaper headline captured my attention immediately because of the bold title with Osama bin Laden's picture right below it. The title emphases how the U.S., after so much preparation, finally defeated Osama bin Laden. The quote from President Obama also serves to show that the right thing was done. The overall attitude of the cover is one of pride in the U.S. and relief that there is no more fear of that wanted terrorist.

 

This newspaper headline seems to be one of the least professional because it focuses mainly on revenge against Bin Laden rather than focusing on what his death means for our country. It does not mention or seem to show any real relief for U.S.

This newspaper focuses mostly on Obama because his picture is the biggest; therefore, it is focusing more on the effects of Bin Laden's death on the U.S. rather than simply mentioning his death. In a way, it is good that it focuses on the U.S., but the thing is that the biggest news is that Bin Laden died.
