The picture above is one that was drawn by Bejamin Franklin and shows a great distinction between form and content. The content of the picture is a message that says the colonies that existed at the time were too seperate and needed to join together as one. The colonies at the time we separated and he was saying if they didn't join together it was going to end in people dying, which is what happened during the civil war. The form of the picture is a political cartoon that he posted in the Pennsylvania Gazette. The cartoon is how Benjamin Franklin decided it was the best way to convey his message.
