The main visuals in this picture would be that the "giant" or large man is wearing a banner that has the word Capitalism on it and the smaller man has a tag saying labor on him. There is also a large bag with the words "Profits from child labor" on it. I think that the issue in this cartoon is that the boss (giant) is squeezing the money out of the working man and making his own money from it. I think that the cartoonist is showing his dislike for capitalism by making it look evil in the sense that the big people will take everything from the little people in order for the big people to get what they want. I can see the artists opinion in this because the big man is taking all of the money from the working man and he probably has done this quite a lot because he has about two sacks full of money and he looks rather wealthy. Maybe it could be less blurry and more clearer so that the viewer can actually understand what the cartoon is of.

Feedback- Revise my goals!
My feedback post on my goals from two weeks or so back consisted of getting my writing skills to improve and the second goal was to improve my vocabulary. I still want to accomplish these goals but maybe in a newer direction than before. I want to improve my writing skills but mostly in fictional pieces because I have trouble with showing vs. telling and with that my vocabulary with grow by itself. I also would like to be able to have a more deep view on things and not think inside the box as I normally do. These new goals are probably my goals for now maybe later on I will either accomplish them or have more goals but for now I'm going to try and set these ones out.

Stock Market 1870's
I thought that the tip "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket" best fit me because I didnt invest all my money on one company I went ahead and put my "eggs" or money all different types of stock and decided buy all the shares for this company thinking that it will gain me more money, I went ahead and decided to take about two shares of stock from the different companies, only fate could have told what was going to happen. I found this to be a good game and was a very interesting way to know how to handle stock markets. It was almost like real life!
