     In the image chosen, there is a caricature of a version of Putin as a shirtless and larger man with other exaggerated features. He is holding up a much smaller man by the arms and that man is labeled as “Ukraine” on the back of his jacket. There is a speech bubble coming from Putin that reads “LAST WARNING! STOP THREATENING ME!” The purpose of the exaggeration of Putin’s size and the personification of Ukraine as a tiny man, is to portray the image that Ukraine is the victim in this situation. This shows the dominance of Russia has over Ukraine. It is effective in its purpose because the cartoon is relaying a message of fear or danger, especially by the use of capitalization and exclamation marks.
