Since I done my persuasive argument on the effects of dams, I thought it would be a good idea to maybe stay with the same topic, though I am not committed to limiting myself to only this. With the first cartoon, a business man is only thinking of himself; (no matter how bad the idea is) while at the same time his friend is dying of thirst. The second cartoon I think speaks out on how ridiculous some constructed dams really are. While I know this is a complete exaggeration of how bad a dam can be built, sometimes you have to wonder how much thought really goes into the placement and usefulness of particular dams. As far as the last cartoon, one can take it as being funny in the sense that the beaver is probably amazed at the tremendous size of the dam. However, one can take it as how is the beaver supposed to construct a home when you have a dam that size blocking all the twigs down river? It would be nearly impossible for the beaver to live around such a large dam. I found all these cartoons to be somewhat funny, but understand the point they are trying to get across in a comical manner.
