When I first saw this graphic, I did not really pick up on anything. I could tell the character was some version of Charlie Brown, he looks sad or angry and very dirty. It seems now that the graphic has something to do with an attack in Paris and the Charlie is supposed to be Charlie Hebdo. I can’t seem to make a connection to why Charlie Brown was used other then the same name of Charlie. This really has no effect on my religion or views. I believe terrorism is something that our world is trying to fix today but it still needs to be worked on. The authors intention, I think, was to put a play on words almost because I don’t believe Charlie Brown was French so in that sense it does not make sense that this is the cartoon being used. I know this picture is supposed to mean something to me and I should have something to say about this topic, but due to the fact I do not really understand what occurred and I did not know who Charlie Hebdo was until right now, there is only so much I can express through this post. I wish I had more to say about this topic, but this picture does not make me feel any certain way. It comes off to be a French version of Charlie Brown, but other then that it does not really speak to me or give me something I could argue or expand on.

Counterintuitive Spring 2024 
taddo, you didn’t request feedback on this post, so my remarks will be brief. First drafts are shredder fodder, as you know. Even the best must be torn down and replaced.
As you revise, separate your remarks into paragraphs. Be sure each paragraph addresses a small topic. You’ve been asked to address three in particular: the cartoon, the combination of the cartoon with the text, the selection of the combined graphic as a header for a composition course blog. Avoid the temptation to begin each paragraph with a clunky, “Now, as for the combination of the cartoon with the text, this is what I believe.” Guide the reader subtly through the progression.
Your self-declared ignorance of the Charlie Hebdo incident can only excuse you from so much, taddo. If all you know is that radical extremists slaughtered a dozen cartoonists and staff of a satirical French magazine in retribution for their publication of crass drawings of the prophet Muhammad and that since then the French, in solidarity with the cartoonists, have been using the slogan “Je Suis Charlie” to express their support for freedom of the press, then you know enough to critique the header graphic and speculate on the motivations of its creation and selection.
I hope that helps.
