something else

Potter’s head. This is a SYMBOL of
greed in continually making more books
and movies.

Caricature
►Make something larger or
bigger than it really is to
point out negative qualities
►Example-George Bush often
caricaturized to look like a
monkey with large ears

20. Exaggeration Example
The security worker’s job is exaggerated
by having him take the man’s freedom
(symbolized by the word written out)

21. Caricature Example
George Bush’s features are exaggerated-big ears
Osama’s beard is exaggerated-very long

22. Make an Analogy/Comparison
Tabloid Photographers are compared to the
flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz, doing
the work of the “evil witches”-the tabloids

Labeled)

society?
 Who is the intended target? How do you
know?

29. Now, Create Your Own!
►Choose a current issue/topic
►Think of opposing view-main
figure/leader of what you refuted
►What symbol could be used?
►How could you caricaturize a
stereotypical one?
