Cartoons on the brain

On the topic of the political cartoon:

Maddie did some research, as Nina mentioned, on animals that kill or banish the weak members of their species. No animal in particular seemed to match the specific description, but Maddie found that spiders will eat anything caught in their webs, including other spiders. This sparked Maddie's idea for a smaller spider caught in a web, surrounded by others of his kind. The small spider represents Mack, the opposition to Yertle, as well a the opposition towards Hitler's fascist nation.

Nina's idea of a hive of faceless worker bees being, in a way, brainwashed by their queen is a solid one.

Erik had the idea of a turtle burping in Hitler's face. Sometimes we idolize and worship him. <- Uhmmm Erik? Maddie wrote "sometimes we wonder about him." We worship. We idolize. In the extreme. Now Nina is correcting this blog post! (Her statement may or may not have been edited)

Mr. Blauer suggested a twist on the stack of turtles from the book. A stack of people, holding Hitler at the top. Each person in the stack represents some sort of freedom or idea that fascist nations such as Hitler's regime stand against. Maddie has so far created a sketch for this idea.
