Roosevelt Corollary

This cartoon is on the Roosevelt Corollary situation. The cartoonist message is that the US used force and to get what they wanted or to protect the northern hemisphere. I can see people having a negative and positive sentences because either they believe America too much power or they should not of use force, or that the Americans did the right thing on protecting their hemisphere. The cartoonist used an exaggeration and symbolism to make this cartoon persuasive. It uses exaggeration because it exaggerated the size of the gun that Roosevelt is using to protect the hammock or in the picture the Republic of Santo Domingo. It uses symbolism because it’s showing America or yet Roosevelt symbolizing America and the King representing Europe. This cartoon support my opinion once again because it shows America having a lot of power over Europe

Spanish-American War

This political cartoon about the issue of the Spanish-American war. Cartoon this message on this issue is that America just protected the Cubans and that American she stayed on their land and protected them. I can see people having many different opinions on this one thing that we should not have protected the Cubans another being that we should done more. The techniques used in this cartoon to make it persuasive for symbolism and analogy. Symbolism is used with flag meaning America protected the Cubans and the lady represent Cuba. Analogy because the woman is the woman is being compared to the Cubans or rather after she’s basically she is the Cubans weak and helpless. Cartoon supports my opinion imperialism because its saying once again how much power we had and I believe we have too much.

Annexation of Hawaii

This cartoon is about the annexation of Hawaii. The cartoonist’s message on we stole all of the queen’s power. I can imagine other people having a negative opinion towards this because they believed that it was unfair to Hawaii. The techniques that cartoon is used to make this cartoon persuasive was an analogy and symbolism. Analogy was used because they’re comparing sandwiches to power. Symbolism is used because the Queen can no longer to get what she wants where to get anything. This cartoon supports my opinion on American imperialism because it takes it to next it’s saying it’s an extreme and it takes away her power, which I do not think is a good plan.

Open Door Policy

This cartoon is about the open door policy. The cartoonist's message is that America blocked the door even though they opened it, and they put the open door policy in place. I can imagine people having negative opinions to this because they say America shouldn’t have even though they said they wouldn’t or say that a lot to make sure this wouldn’t happen they didn’t anyways they shouldn’t have a monopoly over China. Make used in this cartoon is exaggeration and symbolism. Exaggeration because they’re showing Uncle Sam as larger than the other ones and they’re exaggerating his size to show his power. Symbolism because the key symbolizes the open door policy because it’s the key to open the door. This cartoon supports my position  on American imperialism because it shows once again how much power are we had over other countries.

Panama Canal

This political cartoon is about the issue of the Panama Canal. The cartoonist message on this is that we just came in Panama just dug are canal. I can imagine people having a negative neutral and positive opinion on this. I can see multiple views on this because some people like the idea of a canal in some people don’t some people just they’re not bothered by it or they don’t have an opinion towards it. The techniques used to make this cartoon persuasive was symbolism and exaggeration. Symbolism because they’re saying that we just came in and just cut panama half with a shovel Jamaica now. I played exaggeration is used because the man taking out the canal is larger than the land so they’re exaggerating his size to show his power and he’s also taller than the guy standing on the ledge. This cartoon supports my position on American imperialism face cause its showing how much power America had a place that we had too much power.

Open Door Policy

This cartoon is about the open door policy. The cartoonist’s message on this is that everybody took advantage of China and without even consulting him or her. I can imagine people having multiple opinions on this such as that it was unfair, and that one would be that we didn’t need the Chinese opinion. The cartoonist used analogy and symbolism in this cartoon to make it persuasive. Analogy was used to compare the pie to China’s recourses. Symbolism was used because everyone got a piece of pie or China’s recourses without China’s say. This cartoon supports my opinion because once again America and everyone else had too much power and it was unfair.

Purchase of Alaska

This cartoon is about the Purchase of Alaska. The cartoonist’s message on this issue was that it was a burden. The cartoonist used symbolism and labeling to make this cartoon more persuasive.  Symbolism was use to symbolize that Alaska was just an iceberg with no value. Labeling was used to label Russian American, treaty, and 7,000,000. This cartoon supports my opinion on imperialism because it shows Alaska as a useless burden.

Purchase of Alaska

 This political cartoon is about the purchase of Alaska. I believe the cartoonist message on this issue is that it is not a good plan. I can imagine people taking this as a good thing because it’s expanding our country and I can also see people think taking this neutrally. The cartoonist used symbolism and labeling in this cartoon. Symbolism is in this cartoon because Uncle Sam is larger than the other people and Uncle Sam is a symbol for the United States, so they’re saying that the United States is large in power. Labeling is used because in the fabric there is different words with different problems on them and then all his stripes are different States. This cartoon supports my position on American, because I do not think it was a good idea to buy Alaska.
