  1. Visual Rhetoric Project: “Bosses of the Senate”-By:Dakota Lunsford

  2. Background Information: • Published in 1889 (during the start of the Progressive Era of U.S History. • Political Cartoon • Created by cartoonist Joseph Keeplerwho was known for sharing the growing power of trust.

  3. Audience • The audience would have been average Americans who were not involved in trust. • The cartoon shows how trust ideas got all the way to the government (federal).

  4. Point of View and Intention • The POV of the cartoon is that of an American citizen looking in from the other side. • The intention is to persuade others to stay out of trust. Progressive Presidents were all about breaking up trust!

  5. Techniques • A political cartoon that is set in a congressional gathering. • A sign hangs over the room that says, “This is a Senate of the monopolist, by the monopolist, and for the monopolist.

  6. Techniques Conti. • Monopolist Trust are portrayed as bloated, almost reptilian figures standing over the US Senate. • A sign is over the “peoples entrance” that reads, “closed”.

  7. Rhetorical Triangle • Ethos: The United States senate is portrayed, which is an important part of the government, being “bullied” to vote in a “monopolist” view. • Logos: Seeing what is going on makes some people maybe stop to think, “Wait a minute.” • Pathos isn’t portrayed to a way that is visible to the viewer.
