P4 Nadia M. , Blanca R.

1. There is two people one the lawyer and the other one is his client. The lawyer is dressed in a barrel instead of a suite.

2. The barrel represents that the lawyer is poor nd doesn't have lots of clients because of the budget cuts.

3. In the cartoon the lawyer is trying to convince his client to pick him to represent her and she's wondering if he'll actually win her case.

4. I think that the artist is trying to say that budget cuts are bad because the lawyers are not going to defend you as good as he's suppose to because he's going to get paid less because he's going to have less clients and i actually do agree with this message.

2 The shirt stands for the poor people that cant afford lawyers so that they are givin one
3.The lawywer has no idea what he is doing and the lady has no idea weather he is a good lawyer or not.
4. We think that the cartoonist message is poor people have to be given a lawyer but not a bads lawyer beacuse they wont know if the person would be guilty or not. so we disagree bcause you have to have a good one to say weather you are guilty or not!

1. The things that i see in this picture is that a poor lady doesn't have money and a free lawyer is going to help her. Also i see a lady,a lawyer,and they are talking.
2. The lady is a symbol because she is the poor so se doesn't have money to pay for a lawyer so the court gave her a lawyer.
3. The thing that is happening in the cartoon is that a poor lady needs a lawyer and they give her a lawyer and he is going to help her.
4. I think the message is that even though you are poor you have the right to a lawyer and all the rights of a rich person!!!

CecilIa A. and Antonio B. Per 4
1. The man's smile seems to be exaggerated. As well as the barrel. And the lady's shirt

2. His smile symbols how badly he wants the lady to trust him && believe him. His barrel is exaggerated in showing how poor they are. The lady's shirt reads "THE POOR" and demonstrates she is representing the unwealthy.

3, The lady is appionted a free lawyer but he is poor both financially and most likely isn't very efficient.

4. The message is that lawyers the poor are given are not good therefore, they do not have a fair trial.

P4 Marcos C. and Ariana C.

1. The wardrobe and the dialogue between both characters.

2. The characters clothes symbolizes that they are both poor and that the lawyer maybe bad. The dialogue symbolizes that the lawyer isn't good and may not help the client that much in her trial.

3. The lady is trying get a lawyer to help her out in her trial, but the lawyer she gets looks like he isn't that good.

4. The cartoonist's message is that poor people would get lawyers that aren't that good and that the lawyer they got wouldn't be so helpful. I don't agree because they will give them bad lawyers and whats the whole point of it if probably they are going to lose the case because the lawyer isn't good enough.

1. The guy wearing a barrel, the lady with the big nose, and the guy and the lady's hands are big.

2. The lady stands for the poor people cause of the shirt she is wearing. And the barrel the guy is wearing stands for that maybe the guy is crazy or something.

3.The lady is poor and the court got her a lawyer that is like some what crazy. And maybe she is thinking if any of the other lawyers back then weared any barrels or anything.

4.Maybe that even though your poor and if they get you a lawyer that they could get you any lawyer they want. That it realluy doesn't matter which one they get you.

P.2 Giselle L. && Areli L.
1.The lawyer seems to be a little exagerated with the costume he is wearing. Also the client is wearing a shirt saying poor.
2.I'm guessing the shirt saying poor stands for the people who don't have enough money for supplies and stuff like that. The symbols on the barrel is that he is also poor as the client is. It won't be fair for the client.
3.The cartoon is about the client being kind of scared about her lawyer. She thinks he's not good enough for him to win her case and she suprised that he is wearing a barrel to court. He tells her that he is a excellent lawyer.
4.The cartoonist message is that as long as you have a lawyer, you have a fair trial. Yes, we do agree with it because if you didn't have a lawyer it would be an unfair trial, which will probaly make you lose the case.

1: -His wardrobe
-the budget cut
-what her shirt says

2: barrel-poorness

3: the lawyer is having a conversation with the defendant reassuring her that he's still good even though they've suffered some losses.

4: the cartoonist's message is if that if the public defender's office suffer losses the lawyers won't be able to do a good job with their client's case. I agree because they if they do suffer losses they have so many clients to attend to and will have little time to help anyone.
