money re-doing parts of the road that are already good.**
 * 1. The first policy is that we could do is pave only some parts of the road and not spend a lot of

__Advantages-__ This policy would save money from doing only some parts of the road and not re- paving the whole road. This would also make the road safer for people traveling on it because the road would have less bumps and potholes and would be easier to drive on. This option would also allow cars to last longer because less damage would be done to the car by cracks and potholes on the road.

__Disadvantages-__ A few disadvantages would be, that some other people on the road that did not get their part of the road paved would not be satisfied. Other policies would be consierable to them. Also some parts of the road that did not get paved could still be potentialy dangerous and they can wear away faster over the next years.

__Conflicts/Controversies-__ The only conflict that we see is having to pay the cost of paving it and it may take some time before we even pave the road. Some people could also get mad because we didn't pave their part of the road.

less costly, and it can lost a long time.**
 * 2. Another policy is that we could use something like ultracrete which is quick, easier to use,

__Advantages-__ This is probably the best choice for fixing a road. It is quick easy and reliable for a long time. It costs less and it takes 2 minutes to fix one pot hole. After you pour it, the ultracrete is ready for immediate trafficing. This saves time and money for the town.

__Disadvantages-__ The only disadvantages to this policy is that it does not completely smooth out the road, it only fills the potholes not the cracks. Then we would have to use another material to cover the rest of the road and using two materials could be more time-consuming.

__Conflicts/Controversies-__ The whole road wouldn't be fixed only the potholes and grooves in the road would be fixed and some people may continue to complain because the road will still be bad and unsafe to drive on.


 * 3. Another alternative policy is to not do anything and leave the road(s) the way they are.**

__Advantages-__ Save money and keep it for something else instead of using it on roads which really don't need fixing. Also save time because the roads could take a while to pave and they are not a major priority right now.

__Disadvantages-__ The road will stay there and remain unfixed. This could help cause accidents and create damage to cars that drive on this road.

__Conflicts/Controversies-__ Some of the conflicts and contraversies would be that having no paving done could risk injury and damage to your car. Also this would alow the road to continue to get progresivly worse.



​ ** Political Cartoon 1 Questions ** We can identify the car, many road detour and construction signs, and a very bumpy road. **2. What background knowledge can help you understand the cartoon? the cartoon?** Some backround knowledge that I can apply to this cartoon is that there is limited funding for roads everywhere. That the first scene is the same as the last scene. Humor is used in the cartoon. The cartoonist overall message is that once you get through a road that is being worked on, another road will be waiting for you. Yes, because ther is minimal funding for roads in most towns/states across the nation. The symbols I can identify in the picture is the car and the pothole Some background knowledge is that potholes can damage cars Humor is used because the man is calling pothole patrol and that his car is in a pothole I could not identify the persuasive techniques The cartoonist overall message is that roads are bad and if left unfixed they will cause damage to cars I agree with the cartoonist message that is the roads go unfixed they will damage cars
