Analysis:
This political cartoon is about the building and making of the Panama Canal. The cartoonist's message on the Panama Canal is that President Teddy Roosevelt is taking out all the Americans who disagree with his plan to build this canal. I can't personally see any other opinions on this cartoon because the cartoonist was very straight forward that President Roosevelt would even "get rid of" his own American Citizens to get what he wants, the Panama Canal. Exaggeration and Irony is used in this political cartoon for many reasons.
Exaggeration is used with the size of President Roosevelt because it is showing how big and powerful he would be when he builds this canal because he is kicking out his own citizens to make this canal happen. Irony is used because it is ironic that President is not taking his people's opinion into consideration, that he only cares about what he wants; this canal being built. This political cartoon agrees with my position on American Imperialism because it shows that the President is willing to do whatever it takes to do what he thinks is best for America.
