Fred Smith Discovers Test Question About Bloomberg for Kindergarten Exam

This item was in consideration until the final edit of the pre-test that will be given in Kindergarten this month:

Cartoonists often make a statement through caricature, which is defined as a representation, especially pictorial or literary, in which the subject's distinctive features or peculiarities are deliberately exaggerated to produce a comic or grotesque effect.

Please study these two depictions and write a short essay (approximately 500 words) identifying the subjects. Compare and contrast them in terms of their empathy for children and willingness to listen to other people's viewpoints.  Indicate which one you would rather have for a friend and give reasons for your choice.  You will have 30 minutes to give critical thought to your response.  Write clearly, concisely and correctly.

If you have any time left after completing this task, you may finger paint quietly or start to read your book on Newtonian physics.
