of your description of the cartoon, interpret the relevant elements. 1) The woman is dressed very "basic". She looks plain and has no jewelleries on which tells us that she probably belongs to the middle class or below. Her expression seems like she is unsure if she should buy the cake-mix or not. 2) The cake-box it self represents the american dream with the typical life every one longs for. It's supposed to be an instruction on how to achieve the American dream. 3) The caption "just add money" is meant ironically. The saying "just add..." normally means that by adding a certain something, your recipe will turn out good no matter what you do. It's a type of rescue for your dish. With this caption the cartoonist wants to say that as long as you have money, you'll be able to reach the American dream. b) Use your interpretation of the elements of the cartoon to state its central message. The problem that is presented in the cartoon is about the american dream. The American dream is often presented as something that is easily reachable by working hard enough. But the cartoonist's opinion shows that this what so called "dream" is only for the ones who can afford it. If you have money, you have unlimited possibilities to make your dreams come true. But without money, you cannot achieve the typical American dream lifestyle.
