    From the source,I can learn that the IRA are trying to obtain peace. In the cartoon,it says that "IRA rebels threaten more bombs". This tells us that the IRA is trying its best to stop people from threatening to put more bombs. From the source,it shows a man catching a bird stating peace. This tells us that the continuity IRA is doing its job and implementing peace in the country. If the IRA thinks that there is any suspicious people with bombs around,they will do their job and catch those people. From the source, I can see the guy wearing a spectacles with chaos scenes on it. I can infer that the IRA is seeing chaotic scenes in the country and catching people with dangerous moves in the country. This source tells us that the IRA is very efficient in doing its job and they are doing their best to implement peace in the country.

    The cartoonish is trying to say that IRA do not want to have peace and never thought of having peace with other countries. This can be seen from source A, a IRA man is strangling a duck that is in his hands and the duck represents 'peace'.
    Source A is also telling me that IRA still wants to fight and will not give in to other countries easily. This can be seen from source A that 'IRA rebels threaten more bombs'.
    Therefore, the purpose of this source is to let other countries to be angry with IRA as IRA do not want to have peace and at the same time continue to persuade IRA to have peace with them .

    This source shows a picture of a IRA solider trying to struggle a bird, which is named "peace". This source says that IRA is killing peace but they claim they are fighting for peace. This can be proved by the solder with IRA badge trying to kill a bird named "peace". It also says that IRA is intending on more peace destroying activities in future. it can be proved from the quote" IRA rebels threaten more bombs". The intention of this source is show to the world that IRA is on the bad side and they are trying destroying peace but they claim to be fighting for peace.

    Answer:
    From source A, i can see that IRA are trying to create more problems.
    These can be supported by the picture from the source which shows the IRA is killing the bird with a 'peace' word. This can be said by that they are trying to destroy the peace of the country.
    The other evidence which can supported is that in the source, there is a sentence which says 'IRA rebels threaten more bombs'. This can also said that IRA is wanting to make more trouble.
    So from this source, i can learn that IRA like to created trouble and like to threaten more bombs.

    From source A, i can learn that IRA are very heartless and ruthless. This can be seen in source A that a continunity of IRA man was seen to be strangling a bird, trying to kill it. I can also learn from source A that the IRA carried a hatred for peace, meaning IRA does not wants peace in their country. It can be seen in source A that a continunity of IRA is strangling the 'PEACE' bird. The purpose of the source is to tell us how violent were the IRA in persisting not to have peace in their country. It is also to encourage us not to be like th IRA, who were so ruthless and does not accept peace and harmony in their country.

    I can tell form this source that Irish is trying to do away with the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the IRA is not welcomed in Ireland.

    The picture shows an IRA community member holding a bird of peace by the neck, strangling it. This tell me that the IRA is crushing peace in Ireland, implying that IRA do not want peace in Ireland, wants to cause more trouble there. Hence it critise the IRA, not wanting them to be wlecomed in Ireland.

    The picture also says'IRA rebels threaten more bombs' This tells me that those that are against the IRA is going to cause trouble if the IRA do not stop what they are doing. Therefore it tells me that the Irish do not like what the IRA is doing, wants to get rid of the IRA, do not want them in Ireland at all.

    In conclusion, the source tell me that the Irish people despise the the IRA, do not want them on their land at all. Hence, the IRA is not wlecomed at all.

    From source A, I can learn that IRA does not want to have peace. This can be represented by the solider, which represents IRA, strangling a duck, which represents ‘peace’. But, even though the IRA does not want to have peace, they state that they want to have peace. This can be represented by the following line that states “IRA rebels threaten more bombs”. This is obviously a lie as they do not want to have peace.
    Thus, the purpose of this source is to encourage viewers to oppose the IRA as they do not want to have peace but lied to others just to make them believe that they want to have peace.

    From source A , i can infer that the IRA does not want peace as a man from IRA is strangling a dove which represents peace . From the source , i can also infer that those people who rebels the IRA would be dealt with by the IRA . This could be supported by the quote in source A which said , "IRA rebels threaten more bombs." From the source , i can also infer that the IRA do not want peace as those people who rebels the IRA decisions would result in more bombings and the IRA are creating more troubles . This could also be supported by the quote saying " IRA rebels threaten more bombs ." The source also tells that IRA thinks that what they do are correct. This can be supported by the man's shirt with a logo stating " continuity IRA." The purpose of the source is to tell people that the IRA do not want peace and will deal with those peacemakers .

    Source A shows a man trying to kill a dove. In the source,i think the man represents the IRA and the dove represents peace. I think the cartoonist thinks that IRA is very cruel and they are taking away peace. This is shown in the picture as the cartoonist draws a picture of a cold-hearted man killing a dove without any expression on his face,just like how IRA had destroyed peace without any feeling. There is a note at the bottom left hand corner of the source that says'"IRA rebels threaten more bombs". I can infer that people who does not supports IRA could not stand IRA "killing" peace. The rebels think that using peaceful ways to stop the IRA does not work as the IRA is using aggression and destroying peace. Therefore the rebels could only use weapon like bombs that will cause a lot of damages, to stop IRA from taking away more peace.

    I think the cartoonist is trying justify for the rebels.It is because,from the source i can see the cartoonist does not support IRA as he is showing the bad side of IRA. However,he is trying to defend for the rebels. It is shown in the source that IRA is the side who is aggressive and the rebels are the side that wants peace. On the contrary,the picture also tells that the rebles are using the aggressive way to stop the IRA when they are the one who wanted peace. This would cause more conflict rather than gaining peace between the IRA and the rebels. However, the cartoonist had justified for the rebels by showing that it is because of the aggression used by IRA that forced the rebels to have no choice but to use the unpeaceful way.

    All in all, I think the cartoonist does not supports the IRA and the cartoonist thinks that the IRA is cruel and had taken away peace that people deserved. The cartoonist also wanted to use this picture to tell people over the world that IRA is cruel and aggressive because they destroy peace. Also, the cartoonist wanted to justify for the rebels that the rebels are forced to be aggressive to stop the IRA. Lastly,I learnt that there is a conflict beween the IRA and the rebels of IRA that had taken away peace.

    From the source, I can infer that the IRA wants to disrupts peace. This can be supported from source A, where an enormous IRA guy strangling a duck, which the word "peace" is written on it. I can also infer that the IRA still want to continue to disrupt other countries peaceful daily lives by bombing. This can be supported by source A, where it states that 'IRA rebels threaten more bomb'. The purpose of this source is to let everyone know the IRA's true colours and go against them.

    From source A, its tells us that the IRA does not want to have peace and accept peace with other countries. This can be seen from th source that the IRA is trying to strangle a bird with th word peace on it.
    Also, source A is also trying to tell us that the IRA is trying to hurt more people around them and also being very violent. This can be seen from the source which says ' IRA rebels treaten more bombs'.
    The purpose of this source is to tell us that IRA is very scary and violent and they treatens to hurt and creates trouble towards other people. Also, they are unwillingly to accept peace.

    From the source above, I can clearly see that the IRA is not promoting peace. Instead, they are trying to create more trouble by using terrorism. This can be supported as the source above shows that a soldier name with IRA is strangling a dove which represents peace.
    Another obvious thing is the IRA is going to threaten the country with more bombing activities. This can be supported from the source as it clearly stated, "IRA rebels threaten more bombs".
    The purpose of this source is to convince us that how violent and ruthless the IRA are. The cartoonist is also trying to tell us to think negatively of the IRA and let us believe that the IRA is going to use "PEACE" as an excuse to create more terrorising activities.

    From the source,we can learn that IRA does not intend to attain peace.we can see that from a man dressing as a soldier with a badge labeled "continuity IRA". He is trying to strangle a bird that represents peace. At a corner,there is a message that says "IRA rebels threaten more bombs". which tells us the IRA intends to take a step further into destroying peace. The cartoonist might be a british as the cartoon is trying to telling us how cruel and ruthless the IRA is.

    Source A tells me that IRA is not into peace as they were described trying to kill the 'peace bird' with a straight look on their face. I inferred that it was because they think they are right in doing it.
    From the source, i can also infer that they are going to do more such acts as they are going to bomb whoever is going against them.

    Source A tells me that IRA is not into peace as they were described trying to kill the 'peace bird'.
    The source also tells me that they are not going to stop as they have a banner saying 'IRA rebels threaten more bombs'. I gathered that IRA is threatened by more bombs. But they wont stop because they are against peace.

    From source A, the cartoon is trying to say that the IRA is trying to destroy peace and do not wish to have peace with other countries . This can be seen by a IRA person struggling a "peace" bird . Source A also tells me that those people who does not support IRA could not torelate such acts . This can be proved by a small note at the left bottom corner saying that "IRA rebels threaten more bombs " The purpose is to tell people how violent and heartless they are amd don't ever test their limit.

    In source A, I can learn that the cartoonist is trying to tell us that he felt unsecure as the country is not in peace due to the threatening of IRA. Source A also tells me the people are aware that IRA is harmful to them as they will caused more bombs, I know this from the extremely bottom left of the picture shows a small note and stated,"IRA REBELS THREATEN MORE BOMBS". The purpose of this picture is to convince the others to believe that how melicious IRA is and to be unite together with all faith and dedication in order to keep the country safe and sound without others attack.

    I can learn IRA from this source that they didn't want peace. Can support from the source A that the IRA solider is holding a chicken with the words peace and want to kill it. They say want peace but in the end they didn't do it and put there "IRA REBELS THREATEN MORE BOMBS". The IRA threaten the people not to have peace if not there will be more bombs.

    It shows that IRA do not want to have peace and also don't want to have peace with other countries.It is because it shows that the IRA soldier is trying to kill a duck named "peace".It also shows the soldier wearing a tag on his shirt saying"continuity IRA".The IRA is trying to be very violent towards the public.It is because the is a signboard saying"IRA rebels threaten more bombs".The purpose of the cartoon is to prove the public that the IRA is a violent and threatening terrorist.

  23. The cartoonist is trying to say that the IRA do not wish to have peace. This can be evident by the following soldier in the cartoon representing the IRA, strangling a duck which represents peace. This means that the IRA clearly shows what they are capable of, which is killing in what they do not wish to have which is peace around them.
    It also shows a poster,‘IRA Rebels Threaten More Bombs’. This means that the IRA will not show mercy to people who are stubborn and do not wish to listen to them and the people that wish to have peace. The IRA would even threaten the people by using bombs. Using bombs would only mean that the IRA would kill people that would not follow the IRA rules and wishes.

    In source A, it can be seen that the man which represents the IRA, is strangling the dove which represents Peace. This shows that the IRA does not support Peace and does not want peace to be carried out in their country. Also as seen from the man's glasses, there is a reflection of chaos, this means that they does not what peace and still wants to create more trouble.Source A also at the side, there is a piece of paper, writing "IRA Rebels Threaten More Bombs." This menas that the IRA would not give in to any country that does not follow their rule and would use violence to solve their problem.

    I can learn that the IRA is destroying peace instead of improving the situation in the country. This can be seen in Source A which shows a cartoon of an IRA officer strangling the bird labelled 'PEACE'. This means that the main objective of the IRA is to prevent any peace that can be brought about in the country from occurring. I can also learn that the IRA would just kill everyone blindly. This can be seen in source A which shows an IRA officer who is wearing a spectacles with massive fire while killing 'peace'. This means that even though sometimes the IRA is holding on or carrying out a good thing, namely the peacefulness of the country, he still thinks of it as an devastating bombing which he needs to destroy. Therefore, peace will still be ruined eventually. The purpose of this source is to discourage the readers from supporting the IRA as it is impossible for the IRA to maintain peace in the country due to the favour of using violence blindly.

    I can learn from the source that IRA instead of building peace they killed the peace instead. This can be proven from the source , where a man which represent IRA trying to strangle the bird which is named peace. I can also learn that , IRA thinks that by fighting against another country will bring peace but in fact it only brings more troubles. This can be proven by the words ," IRA rebels threatened more bombs."
    The purpose of this source is to encourage the general public to not support IRA ways of bringing peace because it brings war instead of peace.
