Cartoons: Unit 3

            Cartoons began in an unconventional way. They began as a means to make painting easier for artists. However, Cartoons now have different genres that each represent something new, all of which I love. There are political cartoons which use satire to express the dirty little secrets in our current politics. Then, there are marvel cartoons, from X-men, to Wonder Woman, and the Avengers. These cartoons have become a part of growing up; they teach children to be brave, to not let bullies win, and most importantly that women and men can all be extraordinary. Anime takes cartooning it to another level. Anime stories are usually sci-fi related and follow the lives of Anime teenagers. They have the bravery of American cartoon, but also add romance, and heartbreak to the mix. Cartoons now also live on the big screen. There are now television representations of great marvel comics, Anime, and entertaining shows mean to dazzle children such as Tom and Jerry or Little Einsteins. I personally learned English at a very young age from the cartoons on television, and then began to read the physical cartoons until I became lost in the world of literature. Cartoons may not be seen as much, but a world without cartoons would be a grave world for children, and adults like me who still wake up early to watch Marvel comics.
