In the cartoon “The Root of Evil” you will see a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit not facing us and, on the back, we see the name Cruz on it.
Then you see the prisoner with his feet stuck in the ground like he was a tree growing with roots coming out of his feet. In the roots, we see descriptive words about the prisoner. When looking at the sky it is all grey clouds like it is about to rain on the prisoner.
The first thing that catches the people’s eyes when looking at the cartoon is the person that is not facing the people wearing an orange jumpsuit with the name Cruz on the back and the person has his hands behind his back. The people looking at the cartoon can infer that the person in the picture is going to prison or is in prison right now. The person in the cartoon is to be Nikolas Cruz. Cruz confessed to killing seventeen people and injuring much more during a school shooting in Parkland, Florida on February fourteenth. He is possibly facing the death penalty the court is still
undecided.
Next, the people will notice that Cruz’s feet are stuck in the ground like he was growing they’re like a tree and under him in the ground is Cruz’s roots. The roots describe Cruz and what maybe caused him to do a school shooting. When looking at the bottom of the cartoon the first words that catch the people eyes is the word “mental illness.” Teachers and the school district believes that Cruz has some type of mental illness that caused him to commit a school shooting. People believe that his mental illness caused many things and that is why it is at the top of the roots. For example, he was detached from everybody he liked to sit alone and if somebody bumped into him he would get angry at them. Cruz did not like to be bothered. One of the branches says’s “Disturbing Internet Posts.” This means that he would post pictures of the guns he buys or talk about killing people. Th people of Florida want to know why the police did not catch this.
The last thing the people will notice in the cartoon is the grey clouds like it is about to rain on Cruz. The grey clouds represent the sadness and hurt Cruz put not only on Florida but on the United States. Students across the country are tariffed that their school will be for a school shooting. Since Cruz committed the school shooting there have been more threats to a lot of school across the country. With people bringing weapons or posting or calling into school with a treat about “shooting up the school.” A lot of schools are taking this series now. Evan the police are taking threats more series now. Taking the people in for questioning or if they see something suspicious they act on it.
As can be seen, Ramirez cartoon “The Root of Evil” is revealed what not only cartoonist sees in Cruz but the people all Florida. The cartoon is to believe what the people believe the reason why Cruz set fire on that February day. Cruz is presumed to have an unstable life growing up, which might have caused him to become the way he is now. He was disruptive in school making bad grades, posting disturbing photos on social media. The shooting that happened in Florida could have been stopped if the authority happened to pay attention to the signs that were presented.
