Panama Canal

This political cartoon is on the topic of the Panama Canal. This is obvious for the words "Panama Canal Project" are written on a box that the elephant is carring upon his back. the Message is that Roosvelt backs the idea of the canal. You can infer this because Uncle Sam in the back says "the right man is behind it" meaning that because the president is behind it must be right. A new therory could be that Roosevelt is forcing it. I can see this other therory because Roosevelt appears to be pushing the elephant down the hill. Some of the techniques this cartoonsit used are exaggeration and analogy. the exaggeration comes true because Roosevelt didn't actually push an elephant to get the Panama Canal Project going. An anology is present because they are comparing the Project to the elephant. This sides with my opinion because it gives a negitive connotaion on imperialism.

Annexation of Hawaii

This political cartoon is on the Annextion of Hawaii. You can tell because Hawaii is around countries also taken by America. The message involving this cartoon must have been that America had their hands full when they annexed Hawaii. This is shown as Uncle Sam carring two children with two more pulling on other things and making a mess. Another opinion could be this cartoon is based of the Spanish-American War. This could be a theory because each child repersents countries taken by America durring the war or after. This cartoon shows irony, labelng, and an analogy. The irony in this picture is that with many children they should be a little calm but instead they are wild and angery. In this cartoon labeling occurs on each of the children for each of the countries they repersent. The analogy in this particular cartoon is the countries to whiny children or cry babies. This Cartoon is in favor of my opinion against imperialism. It is in favor becaus it disses on the desicion to annex Hawaii.

Spanish-American War

This political cartoon is on the Spanish-American War. In this picture what gives it away that it is a political cartoon that the section that Roosevelt is the carribean or the territories we earn from the war. The cartoonist message is that Rooseveltt dragged along alot of debt and tacx trains to those few countries; this is taking literally inthe cartoon beccause it shows him pulling a train of ships. A person could also see this as a punishment to those few countries for somedisaster. this consperecy can be justified by the example of it is those few countries he is around and he is seen upset. The author of this perticular cartoon seems to have used labeling and some exaggeration. labeling  can be seen on each of the ends of the ships for differennt reasons he asked for money, the stick he is carring is also labeled "big stick", and finally the region he is in is label the carribean. Using ccommon since we can tell that roosevelt is not accutally that tall and that he did ot really drag a train of ships around so this is exaggeration.  This cartoon does support my opinion because it makes imperialism appeal bad.

Spanish-American War

This Political Cartoon is on the spainish American war. In the picture it shows dogs with Army and Navy written on them chasing after a man with a hat with spain on it. this cartoonist message is against the well being of imperialism. You can tell that they are against the war and imperialismbecause there is no kindness or explination why mckinley is doing this but instead it shows him just cutting the dogs loose. This cartoon can be interpreted as spain deserving the dogs chasing after him. In this cartoon labeling and symbolism. The dogs and the hat are both labelng and symbolism they are in fact labeled what they are suppose to repersent or symbolise. This cartoon also contains an analogy; the cartoonist seems to have compared the united states army to a wild dog. this work is allied with my position on imperialism.

Panama Canal

This cartoon is on the Panama Canal. Teddy Roosevelt is clearly seen caarring a bag with millions for a canal, it symbolies the amount of money for the building of the canal.  The cartoonist seems to be against the idea of imperialism. I say this because we can see Teddy Roosevelt holding back Columbia. Another person could imagine this still negative, but america stealing the money. The cartoonist used labeling as a technique. the bag roosevelt carried is labeled money for a canal. There is also irony present you would expect columbia to help get America the land, but instead America had to hold columbia back to get that land. This cartoon is against my idea of my view of imperialsim.

Open Door Policy

This political cartoon is on the Open Door Policy. The cartoonist message is that the island of the philippines was only one step that got them closer to the open door policy and creating a better relationship with China. I can tell this because the philipines is under Uncle Sam's foot and there are wanted signs for every thing Uncle Sam is carring. Another could see this cartoon as america over powering china. You could say this because America could dump all this equipment onto china and not help. This artist used exageration.  Uncle Sam did not really step on the philippines and carry supplies to china. The cartoonist also used labeling she labeled the countries and the tags of what he brought. This cartoon is pro-imperialism this cartoon is in no way making fun of or hating in imperialism and is against my opinion.

Roosevelt Corallary

This political is on the topic of the topic of the Roosevelt Corollary and the Monroe Doctrine. The cartoon has Monroe Doctrine written in bold letters in the center of the cartoon that can be obviously seen unless you aare blind. The cartoonist seems to be against the doctrine. The cartoonist shows an american soldier making faces at the men on the otherside of the fence. Others can see it as the soldier is gaurding the people from getting in as a positive. the cartoonist uses symbolism becuse we see the police men as the european countries being kept out of the countries. We also can see labeling because the fence is labeled monroe doctrine. There is also exaggeration; there was no actual fence keeping the countries out. This cartoon is for my opinion on imperialism because it is anti-imperialism; you can tell because it is making fun of what was seriously going on.
