Annie Anopheles


      Annie Anopheles is a mosquito with malaria in a cartoon about what to do if you get malaria. In the cartoon there is a family and their son, Timothy gets bitten by Annie Anopheles. Then Timothy starts throwing up and getting other symptoms of malaria so his mother says they should take him to the clinic but his father disagrees and says that the clinic is too far and away and too expensive. When Timothy starts getting worse his mother again says that they should take him to the clinic but his father says no and that he will just give him the old pills they got for when one of them got malaria. Timothy's mother then insisted that they go. When they arrived at the clinic the doctor tested Timothy and when the results showed positive the doctor gave them new pills for Timothy to take. If they didn't go to the clinic to get their son tested and if their son didn't have malaria but took the old pills from his dad Timothy could have been in serious trouble. I think this cartoon is very important because some people wouldn't have known about the dangers of malaria. Do you think this cartoon with help people???

  1. yes I agree with you. I looked at this cartoon and it also said that the cartoon was also made so that people will spray things. I didn't know that they could spray bug prevention inside your home! I wonder how people I Africa feel when they have to go through all these things so they don't get malaria!
