Here are the questions I have to answer
1. Name the cartoonist and give the date of publication of the cartoon.
The Cartoonist goes by Tom Scott but his actual name is Thomas Scott.
The date it was published was from 2007 July 2005.
Source - Image and Information
2. Name the two people and identify the techniques the cartoonist uses to show which is which.
One the right side of the image is Sam Morgan holding the sign and on the left hand side is the person who bought Trademe for seven million, David Kirk.
The Cartoonist let us tells which is which by the speech bubbles and the signs they are holding out for example the person on the left has the sale contract.
3. Describe the technique the cartoonist uses to show one person is speaking and one is thinking
The Technique the artist uses is ending each speech bubble with a different shape. For example the shape in the image is one with a pointy end commonly meaning he is speaking and the other one with multiple small bubbles going towards the character means he's speaking.
4. Give Sam's age at this time. Explain how he made his idea successful.
Sam was 23 years old when he founded trade me. He made his idea successful by having his parents help him invest his business.
5. Discuss an impact Trade Me has had on you or someone you know.
No one that I know of had used Trade Me before.
6. Web Search: Find the Tremain cartoon that featured the same event as the Tom Scott cartoon, and explain how it is different.
Tremain's cartoon is after Tom scott's cartoon where Sam Morgan sells his business to Fairfax for $70mil. This cartoon shows the son's father is reading a newspaper about how Sam's father got $47mil from the Trade Me deal.
