ReplyDeletenuclear crisis but however UN was just standing aside did not help Iraq.As source B shows that a kettle,which represent Iraq,was boiled but an old man,which represent UN,was sleeping and relaxing did wake up and turned the fire off.Therefore this shows that UN did not do anything to help Iraq,it just let the nuclear crisis continue going on.

The source is an American cartoon on the United Nations'response to the nuclear crisis in Iran. It tells me that the United Nation was not aware of the nuclear crisis in Iran. As from the cartoon, a dozing old man was representing the United Nation and because he was dwelled in his dreamland, he was totally unaware of the danger of the furious burning kettle.The burning kettle was representing the Iran and the flame and the fire were the effects of the nuclaer crisis.

ReplyDeleteFrom source B, I can tell that the United States is unaware of the nuclear crisis in Iran. This can be seen from the picture that shows a man who is wearing a UN labeled T-shirt is sleeping soundly even though the kettle is boiling over.
ReplyDeleteFrom source B, I also can tell United States is delaying the issue of making peace with Iran. This can be seen from the picture that shows Kofi Annan, the secretary-general of United States, is studying the book titled "peace through procrastination" and falls asleep.
Therefore, the purpose of this source is to criticize the way United States handle the nuclear issue in Iran and to influence people of America to question about the UN's ability to address problems and hopefully to get the UN to modify their policies to solve the problems in Iran efficiently.

Source B is trying to let readers know that the United Nations take the nuclear crisis in Iran as something that is not important. This can be seen in Source B which shows an over-boiled kettle with Iran written on it while a man wearing a UN shirt is asleep.
Source B is trying to let it's readers know that the United Nations do not take the nuclear crisis seriously. This can be seen in Source B which shows a man wearing a UN shirt asleep, while on the table is a cup of coffee this suggests that the UN is relaxed about the issue.

ReplyDeleteThe source shows a kettle with the word Iran that is boiling which represnts the nuclear crisis in Iran. It shows that there would be a war in Iran. I can also infer from the source that the cartoon which is sleeping represents the United Nations' response to the nuclear crisis in Iran. This shows that the Iran war is about to start but no one bothers at all as the cartoon is sleeping and there is a cup of coffee on the table. The people in the United Nations did not care about the war as they were not prepared. In conclusion, the purpose of the source is to make people feel guilty.
From Source B, I can infer that the Un is not aware of the nuclear crisis in Iran. This can be seen from the cartoon that the man with his shirt labelled UN is still sleeping when the kettle printed 'IRAN' on it is boiling.
ReplyDeleteFrom Source B, I also can infer that the US has not made peace with Iran. This can be seen from the cartoon that the man has been reading the book on peace through procasination and has fell asleep.
The purpose of this source is to tell readers that the UN is not serious about making peace with Iran.

Based on source B, I can infer that the UN was unaware of the nuclear crisis in Iran, and are also procrastinating the peace with Iran. This can be seen from source B that shows a kettle which is representing the Iran was boiling and dangerous as it will soon get burn if nobody turn off the fire. However, the cartoon at the side that sat on a chair was sleeping like a log and unaware of the burning kettle. On the table also shows a book of "Peace through procrastination". This tells me that the UN was not helping Iran in facing the nuclear crisis and are procrastinating the peace with Iran, (looking at the tittle of the book as an evidence). Therefore this source shows that Iran was having a trouble but UN was not doing anything to help Iran but was indeed relaxing.

ReplyDeleteThis picture shows that Iran was in a nuclear crisis, as the stove was left on after the water in the kettle which represented Iran was already boiling. Steam coming out of the kettle represented the atomic bombs which were used during world war 2 against the Japanese, signifying that, the results would be a disastrous as what happened to Japan during world war 2 which killed millions of people. The old man who is sleeping represents the UN, was sleeping after drinking coffee when coffee is suppose to keep you awake, to my opinion, the old man is just turning a blind eye to what is happening around him And trying to act nothing have happened around him. Therefore, UN did not do anything to help Iran and allowed the crisis to continue by turning a blind eye to what is really happening.

From source B, I can infer that the United Nation does not care about the nuclear crisis in Iran. This can be seen in source B that the man, which represent UN, is sleeping soundly even though the kettle, which represents Iran, is burning with fire. I can also infer from source B that the United Nation does not bother interfering the nuclear crisis in Iran. This can be seen in source B that the man, representing UN, is sleeping and does not bother to off the fire while the water in the kettle has boiled. The purpose of this source is to show the readers how the UN treated the issue on the nuclear crisis in Iran and encourage readers to feel angry as the UN does not treat this issue seriously.
I can infer fom source B that the United Nations is ignorant of the ongoing nuclear crisis in Iran. This can be supported by the bearded man sleeping soundly with the UN shirt even though the kettle, labelled Iran, is boiling vigorously.
ReplyDeleteI can also infer from source B that the United Nations are not fully willing to make peace with Iran. This can be supported by the bearded man, who was reading a book called 'peace through procrastination', but fell asleep as a result.
The purpose of this cartoon is to let viewers know that the UN is unable resolve the nuclear crisis going on in Iran.

This source tells me that the United Nations do not want to care about the nuclear crisis in Iran. This can be supported by the picture in source B which shows that a man, wearing a shirt which has a "United Nation" on it, can still sleep soundly even though the ketttle, which represents Iran, is burning hot.
ReplyDeleteThis source also tells me that the United Nation do not want to help Iran. This can be supported by the picture in source B which shows that the kettle was placed on the table rather than on the stand which can cool it down.
The purpose of this source is to let the people in Iran to feel anger towards the United nations and let the people in United Nations to feel shameful about themselves as they didnt lend a helping hand when other country is in trouble.

ReplyDeletethe source tells me that the UN is unaware of the nuclear crisis in iran as the picture showed that the man which represent UN was showed by the shirt is sleeping while the kettle shown iran which represent iran is boiling, and in danger by the nuclear crisis.
the source also showed that the UN did not take the crisis to heart as the man in the picture is still enjoying a cup of coffee when iran is in danger.
This source tells me that the United Nations is not response to the nuclear crisis in Iran. As the picture shows that the kettle is representing Iran which is boiled. But the man which represent the UN is fall asleep and a cup of coffee shows that the man do not care about the kettle whether is boiled. So this picture is trying to tell the reader that the United Nations is not really help the Iran to solve the nuclear crisis.

ReplyDeleteFrom this source,i can tell that the United Nations cant be bothered about the Nuclear crisis in Iran, as I can see that the character representing the UN is sleeping.Other then that,I can also tell from this source that Iran's crisis is also very serious as the keetle is burning and the steam that comes out look more like it has just been bombed. The prurpose of this source is arouse American viewer's anger as it shows how inefficient and how the UN treat this matter as the are not bothered about the nuclear crisis
Source B shows that the United Nations were unaware of the Iran's nuclear crisis. As the picture, shows that the man representing the United Nation, was sleeping and wasn't there to help them at all.
ReplyDeleteSource B also shows me that the United Nations are unwilliing to make peace with Iran as the picture shows a similar man, who is used to represent the United Nation s, falling asleep upon reading a book entitled "peace through procrastination" therefore, he thinks that by procrastinating, he might be able to resolve the conflict without much effort put in to help.
In conclusion, the artist wants to bring across his unhappiness on the way the United Nations are responding to help the Iran.

The source tells me that the United Nation known as UN was not bothered to the crisis happened in Iran. This can be supported from the source given, a man representing the UN is sleeping soundly while the kettle is boiling continuosly.Also it explains that he is too tired to switch the kettle off until he was sound asleep and wasnt aware of the sound made by the boiling kettle. It also explains that the UN was neglecting his friend which needs his help in solving the problem faced. This can be supported by the picture given showing the UN sleeping probably after reading a book which he might read during his free time. so in all i think that the problem faced by the Iran was not important to UN and he find as if it was nothing, can be supported by the picture shown.
ReplyDeleteFrom Source B, I can infer that the United Nations was unaware of Iran's situation in crisis and as a result, did not respond to Iran's cry for help. This can be supported in the picture in Source B, where it shows an old man which is Kofi Annan, the security-general of the United States with a shirt that says "UN" falling asleep while the kettle which is labelled "Iran" is boiling over. I can also infer that The United Nations are delaying to make peace with Iran. This can be shown by the picture in Source B, where it shows the old man, Kofi Annan studying halway and falling asleep with a book labelled "Peace through Procastination".
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of this source is to critisize the way the United Nations handle this nuclear issue from Iran and to tell the world how snobbish the UN government can be when handling such important governmental issues, such as in this case, the nuclear problem in Iran. And hopefully, this source will encourage the United Nation to mend their ways and clear the problem in Iran as well as other governmental problems the UN face.

ReplyDeleteThe source above shows that Iran is trying to create a nuclear crisis secretly while United Nations are not watching. But however, the United Nations is not unaware of the actions of the iran is just that United Nation is not worried about the situation. This can be supported from the above source as The boling kettle representing Iran is smoking with clouds representing nuclear actions but the kettle itself is overly hot causing fire below. This shows that iran itself is not able to support it's own people but they are trying to create more trouble against the United Nations.
This source also tells me that the United Nations is not unaware of the situation of Iran. This can be supported fromt he above source as although the guy sleeping representing United nations is sleeping, but by judging at the table, there lies a book name "Peace through procastination" and a cup of coffee. This cup of coffee is the main key of this source. As we all know that coffee contain caffeine that allows one person to stay awake. But in this source, the guy representing united nations is just taking a short break as the pictures only show one "Z" sign.
The purpose of this source is to tell us that eventhough iran is trying to create trouble to the UN, but the UN is not worried of iran's actions as iran itself is not able to support it's own. The cartoonist is also trying to tell us that the UN is a lot stronger in terms of economic and military than Iran. Therefore, making it's audience to feel negative to Iran.
from source B, i can infer that the united states will not aware of the nuclear crisis in iran. this can be shown in source B, where a man is sleeping even though the kettle that has the word iran is boiling over brim.
ReplyDeletesource B also tells me that untied states did not take the iran nuclear crisis as a serious matter. this can be shown form source B, where the man wearing the shirt with the UN word, not only fall asleep, but still, drinking coffee. the purpose of this source is to let the readers know that the united states were not treating nuclear crisis as a serious matter and wanting to let people fell guilty.
From the source above, it shows me that Iran is having a nuclear crisis and the united nation is unaware of it. I can tell it because the picture shows a kettle with the word "Iran" is boiling and the man with a UN logo shirt is sleeping and doesn't seem to know that the kettle is boiling. In conclusion, I think the cartoonist is trying to tell people that the united nation is unaware of the nuclear crisis in Iran. Name: Lim Pei Han. Class: 5N1(6)
ReplyDeleteThe source tells me that the United Nations is the United Nations who did not even bother to help the Iran who is having nuclear crisis. This can be seen from the picture which shows a man representing the UN who was sleeping soundly even though the kettle is boiling. The kettle represents the Iran who is urgently calling the UN to help them solve the nuclear crisis. This can be seen from the picture which shows the kettle boiling with fire on it. This shows that the Iran desperately need the UN help and they cant wait any longer. Therefore, it can be seen that the UN do not want to help them although the Iran desperately calling the UN for help.

ReplyDeleteThe source tells me that United Nations was unaware of Iran's situation in crisis. This can be supported by the picture which shows Iran as a kettle boiling with fire on it. The United Nations did not take the Iran nuclear crisis as a serious matter. This can be supported by the picture which shows a man sleeping soundly even though the kettle was boiling profusely. The purpose of this source is to tell us that even though Iran is trying to create trouble to the United Nations, but the United Nations is not worried of Iran's actions as Iran itself is not able to support it's own. Therefore, making the audience feel a negative thought for Iran.
This source tells me that the Iran were having the nuclear crisis and trying to get help from the United Nation(UN) which did not bother to know what is actually going on to Iran.
ReplyDeleteThis can be seen in this source, where the man in this cartoon represents the UN and the kettle represents the Iran.
The man were sleeping soundly and do not even heard that the kettle were shaking meaning the water is fully boiled.
This shows that Iran were struggling to face the crisis and even get the help from the UN, which are supposed to give the Iran a help in order for the nuclear crisis to settle.
But in this source, the book which the UN is reading is even closed. The book shows how the peace are suppose to be handle. This proved that the UN purposely ignored the Iran request for help

This source tells me that the UN wasn’t aware of the crisis in Iran. It tells me that the guy who is sleeping soundly and does not care about the crisis is the UN. He does not realize about the kettle which is on fire. I could see that the UN does not help the Iraq. The kettle represents the Iran and they are asking desperately for their help.
ReplyDeleteSource B is trying to let us know that the UN does not take the nuclear crisis seriously. The purpose of this text is telling me that the UN is not ready to help the Iran to clear the crisis.
Hazyrah (07) 5N2
From Source B, I can tell that the United Nations (UN) is not interested about helping Iran on the nuclear crisis. This can be seen from Source B, the kettle stating ‘IRAN’ is boiling and on fire but the man with the shirt stating ‘UN’ is sleeping soundly.
ReplyDeleteAlso from Source B, I can tell that the UN is delaying the issue of making peace with Iran. This can be seen from Source B, the UN was reading the book titled ‘peace through procrastination’, but eventually fell asleep.
Hence, the purpose of this source is to criticize on the way the United Nations handled the nuclear crisis in Iran, influencing the American’s to question UN’s ability to solve problems and eventually hope that the UN would solve the problem with Iran effectively.
