"...With Liberty and Justice for All."

The written editorial:
www.cnn.com/2014/09/12/justice/ferguson-michael-brown-newspaper/index.html

The Cartoon is a little boy holding a newspaper with the names Trayvon, Eric Garner, Jordan Davis, and Michael Brown printed on the top. The article is on the timeline of Michael Brown's death and the things that happened after.

1.) "...With Liberty and Justice for All."
The pledge of allegiance is said everyday in schools but the question is, is there honestly justice for all?
Was there justice for Trayvon Martin?
Was there justice for Eric Garner? Jordan Davis? Michael Brown? This cartoon was about a father getting tired of making excuses for America today and the deaths of these young black boys. The editorial went into detail about Michael Brown and his family reacting to the press.
2.) The view on the topic is if there was honestly justice for the deaths of Michael Brown and how his parents are speaking out about what happened to their son and other boys. The writer's view is what's being done after the death of Michael Brown and the other boys and how the community and families are reacting.
3.) The cartoon and editorial are both alike because they're talking about the death of Michael Brown and how people are tired of making excuses for the deaths of these teenage black boys. They're different because the cartoon goes into detail about who are the other black boys that have also died from police brutality.
4.) I believe that the cartoon is more effective on proving it's point because it shows the father is really getting tired of making excuses for America today and how little kids don't understand why young black boys are dying.
5.) Drawing a cartoon you can create more of a picture for the readers. Writing an editorial can give people more information on what actually happened opinions and facts. The drawbacks of a written editorial you have to describe things in more detail to create a picture by using imagery. The drawbacks of a cartoon you have to go dig deep with the pictures created to create a story.
