Me being such an idiot, interpreted the cartoon toatally wrong, well i sort of got it, but all my friends interpretaton were different, I jus i cant think right :( anyways this is what i wrote, it was worth 20 marks on my exam, what do you think my teacher will give me for it?
This is what I wrote :
This political cartoon comments of the contributions Canada made in the war effort during world war two. Canada contributed not just military but also through its industries and money. Canada supplied over 70% of the total fund spent on war during World War Two. Furthermore, Canada supplied Europe with several war materials through its industries which produces materials such as ammunitions and equipment. Though Canada is perceived to be a small, inferior, weak country as displayed by its small size in comparison to the huge German soldier, the cartoon is attempting to depict Canada's immense courage and perseverence, despite the hopelessness of the situation when faced by such a great opponent. It is trying to show that Canada has given its all, and has put forth everything it can to help the war effort in order to prove itself capable. Though Canada is a small country, its contributions at that time were actually quite significant.
