Thanks Anthony, I wasn't sure if adding dates was necessary as our comparisons are a bit more in depth, but if you want me to add that I can. I thought of it after I had saved and attached it. Thanks for your input:) Jaime

Hey there Jaime, Well, I tell you what I think that looks great! I really like all the points. If you think it is done I agree.

Anthony

Hi again, That is a great looking diagram:) I will type in some things and you can go back and add anything else that you think is necessary. I probably won't look at it again until later tonight. Jaime

Jaime,

I added the Venn Diagram. I don't know if this is how you are to do it, but let me know if it looks good. I added a few things to the Venn Diagram. Anthony

Hi Jaime, It really doesn't matter to me. How about we use Welcome All since we both did that one and then pick one for the one to compare. I understand what you wrote about Japanese Exclusion so we can use that one also. It doesnt matter to me. I hope this was timely enough.

Anthony

Hi Anthony, We only need to choose two cartoons to complete the Venn Diagram. Which ones would you like to use? I wrote my thoughts about Welcome All and As to the Japanese Exclusion on Wednesday evening. It looks as if you also wrote about a third cartoon, Ching. Let me know the two you want to use. Thanks, Jaime

Welcome to All: The characters in the clouds seem to be saying that with all of the people comes the downside of humanity. The sign describes things that they are escaping or fleeing from, but does not foretell of the new problems they will be faced with. It's like Noah's Ark where they are all coming in pairs. Just like the ark helped escape the flood, this ark is helping it's inhabitants escape to something that promises to be better. The "free" sign does not prepare the passengers for the hardships that may be faced in the "new land." Passengers mainly appear the same ethnicity and are well-dressed with the one exception of a bare-foot passenger. Uncle Sam seems to be reaching to all that want to come aboard.~Jaime

As to Japanese Exclusion: I think this represent the desire to keep Japanese immigrants out, but also anyone that would not pull their own through hardwork and what not. Dressing in this way would help single out who to turn away because Japanese immigrants seem to be the only immigrants agreed to keep out. Some thought Japanese were coming to US to learn defects and weaknesses to report back to Japanese leaders (Source: []) In 1913, California was planning an Alien Land Law which aimed at prohibiting “aliens ineligible for citizenship” from possessing land. The persons in the cartoon seem very down-hearted and tired. ~Jaime

Differences: Appearance of characters. One is welcoming and one is rejecting. ~Jaime

Ching Cartoon:

This cartoon was created during the era of the Gold Rush in California. It is a cartoon showing that the chinese were not wanted in the area so their tea stand was sabotaged. I had to look up on the internet to figure out the meaning of the cartoon and used the website: [].

Welcome to All:

This political cartoon displays immigrants lining up two by two wanting to come to the “safe house”, the USA, represented by the Ark.The sign displays all the great things about the USA compared to other countries and is to put the US citizens a little back in their place saying, “We don’t have it that bad.” I used the website [] to help gain knowledge about the subject and time period.

Similarities and Differences: The similarities of the two is that they take place during the same time period, they both involve immigrants, and also take place in the United States. The differences is that "Welcome to All" welcomes immigrants, while "Ching Cartoon" does the exact opposites and shows how the chinese were not welcomed and sabotaged.
