Example The cartoon "Trapped in an online world" by Christina Bernazzani, which was published in The Daily London Herald on 10 April 2018, shows a man sitting in a golden bird cage. The cartoon focuses on a man sitting in the middle of a large, golden bird cage. He is sitting on a swing that is attached to the top of the cage. His feet are dangling in the air. On the left you can see that the door of the cage is wide open. But the man does not seem to notice that. He is holding a computer and is staring at it. The cage is so big that it makes the man look the size of a little bird. This exaggeration implies a comparison between the man and a bird that is kept as a pet. Both are trapped in a cage. But the door of this cage is wide open. The man could escape and be free, but he is too focused on his computer to notice. Thus, the cage seems to be a symbol for his addiction to the internet that he also cannot escape. The cartoonist thereby criticises that people spend so much time online that they forget to live in the real world and are trapped in an online world. The cartoon is convincing because it uses several stylistic devices that emphasize its critical message. The message itself is very convincing because it addresses everyone on a personal level. The cartoon therefore has a great effect on people as it makes them question the amount of time they invest in an online world that does not really exist. Trapped in an online world
