When I look at this graphic I don’t really see much connections besides the graphic being Charlie Brown, which has the same name as Charlie Hebdo. However I do see that in the graphic Charlie Brown is is frowning which can be used to express the artists anger and sadness towards the attacks in Paris.
At first I could only see the connection of Charlie Brown and Charlie Hebdo having the same first name. After I actually looked at the image however I do notice that Charlie Brown isn’t the young, cheerful and carefree character that I grew up watching, instead he looks older, meaner and as if he hates the world and everything in it. This depiction of Charlie Brown shows a Charlie Brown that has grown up and experienced some hard times in his life and has realized that life isn’t all happy and perfect as it was when he was a child. Now he sees that life when you get older is full of hardships and that the world we live in is full of chaos and tragedy.
The artist used this version to express that the world we live in can even change a universal symbol of happiness and innocence such as Charlie Brown into someone filled with anger and resentment. The artist also used the graphic to express his own feelings of anger towards the recent events in Paris. The artist obviously has some feeling of anger towards the recent shootings at the Charlie Hebdo headquarters and is expressing that through this image.
Now the designer and instructor who had the image placed with the saying Je Suis Charlie had different intentions. They were intending to express that we as people have the freedom of speech and freedom of expression. The saying is used to say that the people at Charlie Hebdo where just exercising their right, even though some people might have found them to be offensive.

Go ahead and copy that new text into your original post, Hashmeesh. This course is all about rewriting, so you might as well start right away. Thank you for the additional effort. With luck, I’ll see you again this evening. If Rowan cancels classes though (they will make their decision by 3pm today), go to the blog at class time to see an update.
