Causes

of the

Industrial Revolution

Industrial Landscape In The Blanzy Coal Field, Saone‐et‐Loire,   C.1860 . Fine Art. Encyclopædia Britannica Image Quest. Web. 7   Feb 2012.h p://quest.eb.com/images/108_245734  

This political cartoon is about selective breeding. Selective breeding is the process of breeding plants and animals for their individual traits. The message I am going to explain to my viewers is that selective breeding can have positive aspects, but at the same time negative aspects like defects. As you can see in my cartoon, I used exaggeration as the main point. The viewer sees a pig head with a horse body. I am trying to exaggerate what selective breeding is about, and how horrible it can be, but it was very useful during the Industrial Revolution. In opinion is displayed in the cartoon, and I am very against selective breeding. As I mentioned earlier in the paragraph, that I used exaggeration, I used labeling as well. I labeled the pig head and the horse body and put them together to try to explain what selective literally means. There is also a little bit of irony in my cartoon because selective breeding may sound like it, but actually it's not anything like my cartoon.

This cause is about the new machines that were developed during the Industrial Revolution. The message in this cartoon is that workers built machines that then put them out of a job. You see a man building up a machine (in this case a crane) that then picks him up and throws him in a bin labeled 'Unemployed by Machines'. This is to show that the machines replaced many human jobs. I have used labeling to get my point across and symbolism because unemployed people don’t actually get throw in bins.

For my picture of the cause is that more people will have jobs and move to the big city, so the city becomes more developed. This cause is in the Agricultural revolution, mechanization. The message is that even if everybody is doing the same thing doesn’t mean that you have to do it too. In the picture the owner is trying to tell to all of the people who work in the farm to come to the big city, to work in a better job because everyone else is doing it. In the background you can see the factory and all of the men going into the factory because they got a new job. I chose this because I that it would attract the men who is working in the farm to come because there is a picture of men in a line walking to the factory so it shows that that’s a good place to work so the owner is luring men to work for the owner. The two techniques I used were exaggeration and Labeling. The way I used exaggeration was the background, the color green, blue and the sun. Because during the Industrial Revolution the colors were more dull and gray. With labeling I made the owner to take to them who are going to look at this picture.

The causes of this cartoon is about mechanization and how farmers loose there lose their jobs when

mechanization comes along. This is showing a weight balance between the two mechanisms and

farmers and the comparison between the two on the section "work load". In this cartoon I am trying

convey that the work that one single machine (tractor) does is more than the amount of work that lots

of farmers and animals combined can do, I am stating the job loss because of the replacements of the

machineries . This cartoon shows a balancer, it is the balance of work load or the amount of work that

each one does. You can see that the machine (left) "weighs" more than the farmers (right) this means

that the machines do more work than the farmers, I chose the balancer because I felt like it’s the best

way to do a comparison between two things like these. the farmers because the farmers are the people

who get affected by the agriculture change the most and the machines represent the causes of these

farmers losing their jobs. In this cartoon I used exaggeration on the farmers, I represent them as being

bigger than the actual scale of the machine to state that even though they are bigger or in a larger

amount, mechanization took over the farmers jobs. I used analogy which was comparison between two

things, which are machines and farmers and the comparison of work load that the two groups do, this

helped give out the message that I am delivering about child labor because it helps people understand

more about the situation. The last technique that I used was labeling this also helped the cartoon to be

more persuasive because the understanding level is more and it states the consequences of both sides

farmers = job loss, mechanization = faster processing.

The mechanization in the Agriculture Revolution helped improve the Industrial Revolution. During the Agriculture revolution mechanization was about inventing new machines to help people do their job better, faster and easier. The mechanization created new machines for work so factories were made in the Industrial revolution. Seven people are trying to find a job in a city and then they saw this big building and smoke coming out of it. They look at the sign that says Jobs-R-Us now hiring. I draw this political cartoon to show the viewer that this is mechanization during the industrial revolution. I found this cartoon on the internet and it gave me ideas to create my own political cartoon, this cartoon has two techniques such as Labeling, and Exaggeration. The technique labeling is shown on the factory big sign, without the labeling there will only be seven people and a big factory but then people won't understand the cartoon because the labeling help the viewer to see better. The second technique is exaggeration factories logo don’t usually have that sign saying that, and the seven people in the cartoon are too small to be human also too skinny, so I think it is a bit exaggerated. The message of this cartoon is about how factories started and how people can get job in big cities during the industrial revolution. Factories started from mechanization, without mechanization we won't have these technologies today.

My political cartoon is about how Mechanization led to the industrial revolution. Mechanization caused, more efficient food in a shorter amount of time with less paid labor. Bringing in a whole new era of modern technology to both farming and city life. This mostly helped farmers because, they could get work done faster, and have some resting time. The message that is being conveyed in my political cartoon is that due to mechanization, life in rural areas became more simple, that mechanization is one of the big causes of the industrial revolution. Making work easier and more efficient. In my political cartoon, there is a picture of a typical 1800s farm, but I added a steam tractor and a seed drill. This is because, these two machines had a major role in the era of mechanization in rural areas. I also added the two people talking. The man on the left represents a farmer and his positive feelings towards mechanization, and on the right, is Darby, one of a more major inventor that contributed greatly to mechanization. I used two techniques in my cartoon to make it more persuasive. I used both Labeling and symbolism. I used labeling, because I labeled what each of the cartoon characters are saying. I used symbolism because I used a stick figure, to represent a large inventor, Darby.

Title: New technologies make better living

This political cartoon is a cause that opened the industrial revolution. This cartoon is a cause because it is about the new technologies that are invented such as the steam engine and the blast furnace which also lead to factories being built. With the new technologies people don’t have to do things manually. The message of this is that the new technologies create jobs for people in factories instead of farming and working in the fields. There are four images - the first shows people cutting crops and working, the second shows the town that people lived in when they had horses to carry their supplies, the third shows nobody in the same field as the first image because everybody has jobs in factories in town, the fourth shows the town where there are lots of people heading towards the factories. I chose to draw people and the country to describe my point in this political cartoon. The two techniques that are used are labeling and symbolism. Labeling shows when it says "1800" and "1860." The symbol of the stick figures show people changing from working with manual tools to working in factories where there are new technologies being created.

This cartoon is about seeing mechanization as a cause for the Industrial Revolution. The message I am trying to portray is how the new machines being made were so much more efficient that they caused many farmers to move to the city and start working with machines instead of their own hands. In my cartoon, there is a small farmer holding a rake and a big, fat man with his arm wrapped around a steam engine. The big, fat man is also carrying a bag of money. I did all of this to show how many farmers were pressured into moving to the cities by factory owners. I used both exaggeration and labeling in this cartoon. The exaggeration is in the big, fat man and how round and oversized he is and the farmers are extra skinny and weak looking. I did this to show what people thought the difference was between those to stereotypical people. I also used labeling by showing the farmer and the factory owner.

The political cartoon is about cause of the Industrial Revolution. It is about 'mechanization' which is one of biggest cause of Industrial Revolution. Development of mechanization resulted as loss of jobs in agriculture. Since one machine had ability of workload of lots of men, they weren't needed. Soon, machines took over the work of farmers and number of farmer's started to decrease. This resulted as job loss of farmers. The farmers moved to the city where they could get a job, rather than staying back without a job. The message this cartoon conveys is humans should be the first priority, not the machines. Machines can't replace humans forever, because it's the human who creates new machines. In the cartoon, there is a contest taking place, and it's about most useful worker in a farm. Farmers should be the most useful workers, however just one machine stands on the 1st, and three cows as 2nd, and six small farmers as 3rd. I chose to do this thing to show the viewer clearly about how machines are treated better than humans and how they take over human's place. In this cartoon, there are two techniques I have used, which are symbolism and irony. Firstly, the contest itself symbolizes the time period when machines were more valued than farmers. The machine symbolizes mechanization, and farmers represents the place of farmers in countryside. Secondly, there is an irony to the name of the contest. The name of the contest is 'Most Useful Worker,' definitely, the winner should be a human, but the cartoon doesn't show that. The techniques I have used made my cartoon persuasive, because it gives a sarcastic feeling to the viewer about mechanization.

The political cartoon is about one of the causes that lead the Industrial Revolution, and is on the topic of Mechanization - not only in the farms, but even in the cities. The cartoon show a background image of buildings, and this was used to persuade that the event in the cartoon is happening in the cities, where the machineries were also beginning to take charge of the workload. There also is a big carriage on the right, with eyes and mouth, being personified. I added the eyes and the mouth to show expression and emotion that the machineries would've had, if they could show it. This is because as the machineries took over places of the workers - the people were being mistreated. The man is running away from the machine in the cartoon - without wearing any clothes. I chose this image as I wanted to talk about the desperate moments and choices the people had to make. As staying in a place where there is a backup it will not do any good, the man is running away. The action is also from the pressure the carriage is giving to the man. The carriage is forcing out the men by saying "Go away! I'm doing the work here!" and indicates that the man is now useless, in front of the existence of the machine. The man is running away saying "But I made you!" which also indicates the betrayed emotions and feelings of man - as if it was not the man, the machine would not be invented. The main message that I conveyed in the cartoon was a critic of a mass usage of mechanization. I wanted to deliver my ideas against the mechanization, as it took over too much of man's work; when the machinery was firstly invent to "help" with the work only. I also wanted to illustrate a picture of how the machines forced the people out of their jobs. I have used three techniques in this cartoon and those are: irony, exaggeration, and symbolism. Firstly, I used irony by the speech marks, from the man and the carriage. It is ironic because by the speeches, the viewers can know that the man have invented the carriage - but now the carriage is overtaking the position the man has - and the man now has no place to stand because of his own invention. The cartoon also uses exaggeration, having the carriage's size bigger than usual. This was used to show the amount of power and self-presence, and its contrast between humans and machineries. Lastly, I used symbolism on the man and the carriage. It is really simple to guess - as they can be an example of what group they actually symbolize. The man symbolizes the workers, and to especially the people who invented their own machines to help them from the harsh work. The carriage symbolizes all the machines that were invented during the Industrial Revolution, as all of them did cause some trouble whether or not it was intended.

This cartoon illustrates the mechanization which also caused urbanization. Due to Mechanization, inventions of the steam engine, tractors and seed drills had been made. This made the jobs in the farms and fields much easier, and less work was needed. This had led to farmers losing their jobs, and so urbanizing into the cities to find jobs in factories. This cartoon conveys the opposing opinion of how farmers lost jobs in their farms due to invention of machines and were forced to move into the city with more jobs. In the cartoon, there is a large corn, and a bigger cake, and lots of ants. There are very few ants on the corn, and more ants on the cake, and there is also lines of ants heading towards the cake. This cartoon has used two techniques: symbolism and labeling. The Corn is labeled 'Corn Farm', which represent the country side where farmers worked, and the cake which is labeled 'Cake City’ represents the city full of factories. The ants represent the workers during the industrial revolution and many of them are all heading towards the cake, which represents Urbanization due to mechanization. This cartoon opposes to urbanization, through the corn and cake. Corns are resources that can be used to create more corns, when cake can only be consumed once and is not renewable. This shows how so many ants would quickly finish the cake, and will soon have to face many pollution problems and also the lack of resources.

Viet’s Cause of Industrial Revolution

In this editorial cartoon, I concentrate on how mechanization started to replace workforces of the past. In the cartoon, there is a horse looking at the first automobile - The Puffing Devil - and a man calling to the horse: "Look at the horsepower". I chose the horse to be drawn here because it signifies the old workforce of Great Britain; anything that was done in the old day that requires more than the force of man would require a horse, that's why I chose the horse to be drawn here. The first car - The Puffing Devil - is drawn here to represent the rise of mechanization, when machines start to replace the workforce of old. The guy at the back saying to the horse: "Look at that horsepower" is there to explain and symbolize how people start to realize they can use machines that are more effective than animal or human workforce, with this change of altitude toward machines, the Industrial Revolution has found its power to propel itself on the society of Great Britain and the world. In this cartoon, I used symbolism a lot as explained above where the car signifies the rise of mechanization, the horse to represent the old workforce, and the man to symbolize the change in attitude. I also used a form of labeling, dialogue, to explain the cartoon. And just for effect, I used irony with the word "horsepower" to compliment the machine, not the horse.

Title: Helpless hand The cause that this political cartoon is showing is the cheap wage of children. During industrial revolution, the child labor was very popular between nobles, the exploiters because comparing to adults, children required less wage per work, because economic has grew during industrial revolution and adult was paid more for their work. In this cartoon, the background is sea, and there is an alligator, which is compared to exploiter who is trying to eat up the child on a short stack of money. Next to that, there is an adult who is sitting on long stack of money, and saying how well is the scenery that is he is watching now. Looking at these, this cartoon is showing how children who cost low wage are the target of the exploiters. Also, exploiters eat them up, once they hire them, they don't let go of them. However, the adults, who should be caring for children are too busy for their situation, so they can't give even a tiny concern to children and only looks up, but never looks down where the children are. This is another reason why children's labor was not banned even in developed countries like UK; children were not major, but minor problem to give an attention. In this comic, I used labeling, analogy and symbolism to put more degree of completion. First of all, I have labeled all the factors in this cartoon that is considered as significant. So I mainly labeled the exploiter, child and adult. I also did this because for exploiter, it is an alligator, so there is no way that viewers will think alligator as an alligator, in fact, they will think this is just a comic where alligator is trying to eat child. Therefore, it was very important to put label to alligator. The next technique was analogy, and I used alligator to compare exploiter to the factory owner with evil tendency, because that's what alligators are like between animals. The last technique was symbolism, I made alligator wear gentlemen's hat and expensive necklace to symbolize that exploiters are very rich, it also kind of remind me famous fashion brand Lacoste.

Causes of Industrial Revolution - Machines Rule the World In my political cartoon, the cause that is expressed is mechanization. Because of mechanization, many people are replaced because machines can do the work of 10 men. I am trying to express that a robot can carry ten times the weight a human being can. This can be a good situation but also a bad situation because of mechanization, many people are losing their jobs but at the same time, works are done at a much faster rate. My cartoon tells the story of a man who is trying to lift 100kg but he is struggling but at the same time, a robot can lightly life 1 000kg without any struggle. The audience can see the efficiency in work through my comic of the things machines can do but humans cannot. I think for this cartoon, the techniques I've used are exaggeration and analogy. For exaggeration, I have exaggerated the amount of weight that is put on the robot's back. In real life, a robot would probably not be able to carry that much weight. And for analogy, I have compared between robots and humans. I think humans and robots share many common things and the most common for industrial revolution would be work and jobs.

This political cartoon is about the causes of the Industrial Revolution. It is one of the many aspects of the triangular trade. Slaves in Africa were shipped to the Americas to work on plantations. The ships then returned to Britain with the products from the plantation. This allowed Britain to develop faster than other nations with the continuous products coming in from their colonies (this is an example of mercantilism). The message behind this cartoon is that the British would arrive in the coast of West Africa and claim the land. They would just stick a flag in the land and claim it as theirs ignoring any protests from the people originally living on the land. The British are portrayed by pointing at the flag to show ownership of the land. The Africans are confused as to what they are talking about because they have lived there for generations and suddenly a group of men would walk in, stick a flag in their ground and claim it as theirs, stripping all the freedom from the people previously living there. I chose these things because I want people to understand that behind the Industrial Revolution and the success that came along with it, there are others who have been stripped off their rights and away from their family for that success to happen. The first technique used was symbolism because of the British flag. It may look like just a flag stuck in the ground but it represents much more. It represents Britain conquering over West African countries and capturing people into slavery. The picture also contains irony because behind the African men, there is a pile of food. It is ironic because if the British were to live in the African environment, they would most likely die from starvation or dehydration because they do not have much information about surviving in the wild.

This cartoon shows the cause of the Industrial Revolution which is the development of mechanization. The development of mechanization led to tailors losing jobs as the spinning jenny can produce multiple threads at once and one spinning jenny only requires one person to function. The woman on the right is functioning a spinning jenny. I chose to draw this image because the spinning jenny was one of the inventions that helped boost the development progress of mechanization. On the left, there is a hand weaving. I chose this image because it shows that weaving by hand is much slower. The 'greater than' sign in between these two images shows that mechanization is much more efficient than weaving by hand. From there, it shows that mechanization is much more efficient for agricultural growth. I used symbolization and exaggeration to help my cartoon become more persuasive to the viewer. For symbolization, I selected the spinning jenny to represent inventions and mechanization, while hand-weaving represents the old method of manufacturing clothes. To support the efficiency of mechanization, I used exaggeration to make the image of hand-weaving much smaller while the image of the spinning jenny is much bigger.

Hum09 – Industrial Revolutions - Sidney Hong – Cause - 1

During the industrial revolution, the commercial revolution erupted from the development of machinery and the advancement of technology. The Crusades opened up the riches of the East to Western Europe, and during this period America was discovered. This is when the European nations began to acquire rich colonies there and elsewhere. New trade routes were also opened which allowed more opportunities to increase the exports. With a higher demand of exports elsewhere larger ships were built, and flourishing cities began to develop with such a large demand of goods. The opinion conveyed in this cartoon is that England is exporting quite a lot and is over powering almost 'eating up' the competition as it exports large amounts of goods all over Europe and America. With a higher demand of goods, competition arose and it reminded me of the phrase 'it’s a dog eat dog world' where each nation is only interested in the wealth of their own country. I chose the fish because I thought it might be interesting to take that phrase and transfer it into a trade context with the seas surrounding. There are many styles that were used, exaggeration, symbolism, and labeling. I used exaggeration of each nation’s size. The fishes sizes are also exaggerated quite a fair bit; I did this to show the wealth difference in each country. The fish symbolize the exports of other countries into America and the difference in quantity each one is exporting; I did this to show the difference in the amount of trade between England and other countries. I then identified each countries fish/trade or exports to America to help prove my point in the great difference between all the different countries.

Political Cartoon: Causes

This cartoon has a man standing in the middle of the road, with a bunch of bags full of money around him. He is almost covered by the bags of money. In the background there are multiple factories that have smoke coming out of them. The title is "Success" because the man may think he has achieved wealthiness and hapiness, but he doesn't realize the damage he's done to the environment and to his factory worker's lives. The workers are probably living in poverty because of the low salary. This is about one of the main causes of the industrial revolution. It is about the money the employers made when employing children/adults to work at their factories. This cartoon shows that money was and still is a cause of labor by putting the man in the foreground surrounded by money. The man is smiling and has a bunch of factories with smoke coming out of them behind him. In this cartoon I used 3 techniques to make the viewers think about this cartoon, labeling, symbolism and exaggeration. On the bags there are dollar signs on them, signifying that there is money inside the bags, without that on the bags we could think that they are bags of potatoes. I exaggerated on the amount of bags of money the man has, but this is just to emphasize on how much money they made. The amount of factories in the background also shows how many the man has around the country, except that here they are all in a small area, to really show how much he owns and how little his employees own. The money bags are also a symbol of the money. There isn't anything about his employees in this cartoon, which is something I decided to do to try and get the viewers thinking.

“Replaced”

This cartoon is about mechanization, and how it change people's lives by leaving them unemployed. During the Industrial Revolution, factories and companies started to use machinery, which replaced most of the workers because the machines only needed a few people for maintenance. In the cartoon, a reader would see the "boss" looking at a clipboard, angry at the worker in the chair. The worker is also young; to emphasize the amount of child labor there was in the factories. The clipboard the boss is holding is like a report on how the worker has done, and he is disappointed by it. I used exaggeration by enlarging the boss and shrinking the worker, and I also used a caption at the bottom instead of a speech bubble.

Political Cartoon 1 - Cause: Turkeef Jerky

The cause shown in this political cartoon is about cross-breeding during the Industrial Revolution. Cross-breeding was introduced by Thomas Cook and Robert Bakewell. Through the method of cross-breeding, Britain turned into a surplus, with the New Leicester specie. Cross-breeding was introduced to enhance the crops or animals, such as improving the quality of the meat and more produce of the same crop. Cross-breeding also allows the animal to mature faster and survive longer in harsh environments. Although cross-breeding do have many benefits, there are also disadvantages. Since the technology is still being explored and extended on every day, cross-breeding may also bring unwanted traits and diseases towards the animal. The message being conveyed in the cartoon is that cross-breeding brings many effects towards our lifestyle, especially because food is related to cross-breeding as well. Cross-breeding allows the quality of meat to be of higher quality and nutrition; the turkey would be juicier than normal, which could be processed into an alternative for beef jerky. The positive effects of cross-breeding may overwhelm the disadvantages because of how cross-breeding turned Britain to a larger exporter in food. I think the risk is worth taking because there could more chances of getting positive results then negative results as there were many who witnessed the success of this technology, Britain for example. We should consider cross-breeding a relevantly good choice to improve our agriculture. If we are in dire of food materials, we can obtain more through the process of cross-breeding. There are two women who are talking to each other; the woman is asking if her friend would like to try the new turkey jerky. The other woman introduces the turkey jerky in an exaggerated way. There is the logo of the food store, a turkey and laboratory gloves. I chose this scene because I wanted to try to create a cartoon that is related to the topic but also incorporate modern elements. The McDonalds logo to represent a popular chain brand and the turkey as a substitute for beef, and the gloves would represent science and technology. I wanted these three items to present how technology and science corporate with each other to produce cross-breeding. The turkey basically represents the product outcome of the cross-breed between turkey and beef, creating a juicy lean meat. I also placed the label to show what product the shop specializes and the "mmm" sign to show how the new cross-breed animal can also turn into something consumable. I have used the label, symbolism and exaggeration to persuade my viewer. I labeled the name of the shop to clearly show what product the shop specializes in. I used symbolism to give out hints to the viewer and let the viewer analyze the symbols to see what the main message of the cartoon is. I think this technique is good to use as the viewers have some time to figure out what the symbols stand for and slowly find out what the cartoon is about. I wanted to use exaggeration because I want to really create an impact or strong effect upon my viewers about cross-breeding. I want to show the viewer’s how cross-breeding can completely change our normal lifestyles, offering new species and more nutritional products and more. I feel that all of these techniques combine together to create some confusion to allow the viewer analyze the cartoon, each object or item at a time, until the last moment where he or she found what the meaning of the cartoon is.

The political cartoon shown above shows one of the causes of the Industrial Revolution, specifically, it

is about the advances in industry, and about the new Arkwright spinning frame. This political cartoon

shows how the newer and more industrial centered and mass producing spinning frame is going to

take over the simple spinning wheels in the Domestic System. It forewarns how the new industry will

crush the domestic system, and how it would later force the people who weave in their homes out of

business. This can also be related to the Luddites, because of the new spinning frame, the Luddites ban

together to take revenge on the machines. It won't matter who operates the machines anymore,

whether they are good at weaving or not, but it does make a difference to the professional weavers

who cannot work their profession for money. Factory made products are usually cheaper, and this

would drive the home weavers and producers of the spinning wheel out of business. This would have

negative effects on the people, and the society, and run some business out of business; however, the

factory owners who use the Arkwright spinning frame still run the business to get even richer than

they are, extending the gap between the rich and the poor.

In this political cartoon of mine, I am expressing that I oppose to the idea of the changes made in

industry, the advancement, and that in my opinion, the mass producing machines are evil. In my

cartoon, I try to show how I think that the new and more industrial machines are going to destroy and

kill the simple spinning wheel, and the Domestic System. I tried to show that it should not be that the

industry, specifically the Arkwright spinning frame, should be in usage, as it would mean bankruptcy

and run other small businesses and home weavers out of business. By showing that the Arkwright

spinning frame is evil, I try to show that the spinning wheel will cause so much harm, pain, and cause

many more consequence to people that use the simple spinning frame at home, especially the

professionals, small spinning businesses, and the producers of the simple spinning frame. I try to show

that the change and advancement in the Arkwright spinning frame and in industry as bad, and not

worth the lives of many people it destroyed, just for rich people to get richer.

In this cartoon, the viewer should see the Arkwright spinning frame is very large, and that it is

dropping onto the very small simple spinning frame. There are captions, in the picture, so that the

view would understand that the monstrously exaggerated machine at the top of the sheet is the

Arkwright spinning frame, while the small spinning wheel at the bottom of the page is labeled so that

the viewer would know that it is the hand/single man powered spinning wheel. Both the spinning

frame and the spinning wheel have faces on them, in order for the viewer to see that the Arkwright

spinning frame is "evil", while the spinning wheel is 'innocent'. There is also an arrow pointing

downwards from the Arkwright spinning frame to the spinning wheel, in order to show that the

Arkwright spinning frame is going to crush the spinning wheel when it lands, and the Arkwright

spinning frame has an evil face, in order to show that it is intending to crush the spinning wheel.

Factory owners using the Arkwright spinning frame want to run the small businesses and home

weavers out of business, so they would be forced to buy the factories products.

I attempted to incorporate a few techniques mentioned in class when drawing my political cartoon.

The techniques I tried incorporating are exaggeration, labeling, symbolism, and irony. With

exaggeration, I tried to exaggerate the size of both the spinning frame, and the spinning wheel. I made

the spinning frame huge, to show how it can produce more, and the power and strength. And the

spinning wheel small, to show the fragility of the product, the amount it makes, and the power it has

(which is not a lot). This works with the labeling as well, so that you can see the power of the

production of both spinning machines/tools.) the symbolism I tried to symbolism in the political

cartoon with the drag lines and the arrow pointing from the spinning frame to the spinning wheel, to

symbolize the spinning frame is purposely wanting to crush the spinning wheel. Lastly, I tried to show

irony by showing that the spinning has eyes, and even glasses, yet, the labeling/caption says that te

spinning wheel never saw the Arkwright spinning wheel falling. The people in the domestic system,

and professional small time spinners never saw the change that would destroy their financial life, and

their lives in general.
