Here's what I put:
Boss Tweed was a very powerful and very corrupt individual who has a history of paying his way out of trouble. He is smiling because he doesn't fear being arrested as he's likely to bribe himself out yet again. The title dubs his arrest as another good joke because it will probably never happen. The policeman is joking around with Boss Tweed, even taking off his hat in a friendly manner, which crumbles the barrier between cops and criminals, the two things that are supposed to stay separate. As a minor detail, the extras in the scene are all near Boss Tweed in a way that makes them seem like they're sucking up to him, either afraid of his power or wanting a piece of it. And finally, the role of Justice here is up for interpretation. Because on one hand, she says she'll make them regret this. But on the other, she is staring into the camera as corruption is happening right under her nose.
Please help! This is really confusing @_@
In a paragraph, interpret the message of this Thomas Nast political cartoon, which shows Boss Tweed laughing as he is being arrested while the Shadow of Justice looks on. Be sure to read the captions
carefully and consider what each character in the cartoon might represent. In particular, what is suggested by the words of Sheriff Brennan and the Shadow of Justice?
