a big guy (capitalism, owner) is holding a little guy (labor), and lots of coins are dropping to bags which are profits from child labor. this cartoon is about capitalism and i think the cartoonist is trying to say while labors including children make money, but most of them for the owners, and they have almost nothing left for themselves. so it is not a really good idea, thinking of labors. the evidence of these in the cartoon is owner is big and is wearing good clothes with many bags of profits, and a labor is small and wearing not such good clothes. maybe the cartoonist could have drew this in color except for the labor, so that people can clearly see that labor is standing out in a sad way, and also i think it would show the poverty of the labors.

goals reflection
one of my goals for this class was improving in socratic seminar, but we only did few seminars this quater so i dont think i improved as much as i expected.
the other goal was to improve my vocab quiz grades. i score pretty good on the second vocab quiz, but on the third one i got a horrible grade. so i didn't really improve as much.

Investment Tip
first i thought "Buy low and sell high" helped me pretty much so i bought silver stock and sold it next turn when it costed $18. but in the next turn it went up till $30. i could't really tell which on would rise or fall. so i din't think it was safe way. so the tip "you must spend money to make money" made me buy all of the morgan stock. but then you said not to pull all the eggs in one basket, so i sold one of the stock, and bought the railroad stock which all of the prices went up and i made lots of money. so i think "dont pull all your eggs in one basket" really helped me the most
