  • Textual Analysis Of Washington Redskins

    167 Words  | 1 Pages

    In this cartoon about the Washington redskins, the attire of the larger man symbolizes the Washington redskins and reveals the underlying messages of the name. The larger character is completely unaware of the offensive language written all over him and is drawn with a large smile as if he is promoting the other man’s culture. The man’s statement about “honoring” the other one is ironic because he stands there with offensive words all over him, yet he claims to be promoting positivity for the man’s culture. He is a stereotypical American – overweight, crooked teeth, and balding; he looks ridiculous in his attire which barely covers his thighs as his stomach spills over. He is not to be taken seriously and looks unintelligent.

  • The Raiders March Analysis

    746 Words  | 3 Pages

    The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).
