Christopher Columbus Picture Analyisis

The picture that the artist has drawn has a lot of hidden points in it . This picture shows how Columbus found new land and he found other people also known as Native Americans. However, the wording that the artist used is something to look into. He uses the words "weapons of mass destruction" that links from way pack in the 1400's all the way until now. Weapons of mass destruction has been talked about for decades that has been something to fear for the sake of human life as we know it.


By the artist putting those particular words in the illustration, he makes the person watching the illustration not only think about Christopher Columbus finding new land and finding out about Native Americans, but also about the times today and how weapons of mass destruction has been so critical and threatening in everyones life that it is now used in a illustration meant to be humorous and funny. Also in the illustration you can see the attitude that the Native American has toward someone from a different continent. You can relate that to the times today. The United States of America does not let anybody in to the country, and they are not nice about it either. Just like the Native Americans, The U.S. feels that they should not let people in the U.S. who may at one point mean danger. So they're are many conclusions you can draw from this illustration.
