Analogy: In this whole cartoon, the situation of African American students during the desegregation era is compared to the plight of children trying to outrun a mob. With this comparison, the cartoonist highlights the vulnerability of the integrating students, as well as emphasizing the danger that they faced.
Exaggeration: The size of the mob is exaggerated to make it clear just how fearsome and intimidating the enemies of desegregation could be.
