"Dohiyi Mir." : Speak Softly, And Carry A Big Corollary. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Feb. 2016.
Analysis:
This political cartoon is about the Roosevelt Corollary. The cartoonist's message on the issue is that President Teddy Roosevelt is making the Monroe Doctrine bigger and more powerful by adding the Roosevelt Corollary. The cartoon is pretty straight froward and the message is pretty clear, that President Roosevelt is trying to take control of the Western Hemisphere. Some techniques that the cartoonist uses in this cartoon are analogy and exaggeration.
An analogy was used because it is comparing Roosevelt to a police man for the western hemisphere. While he isn't an actual police officer, he is just taking more control than he should. Exaggeration is used because the size of President Roosevelt is much larger than what he would be in real life. This cartoon does not match my position on American Imperialism. It shows that President Roosevelt is taking way to much control to get what he wants, more land.
