Roosevelt Corollary-1

Analysis Paragraph: 
This issue is about Roosevelt Corollary. This is represented, with Roosevelt and the "Big Stick." The cartoonist's message on this issue, is that Roosevelt is taking advantage of the "Big Stick," and controlling the whole world. This is expressed with Roosevelt and his size and the "Big Stick being whipped all around the world. I can imagine a persons opinion in this time frame be, Roosevelt is helping these states because the "Big Stick" is used to intervene with Latin America. The cartoonist uses exaggeration. Exaggeration is shown, by how big Roosevelt is and how small the states are. The cartoonist is also using symbolism. Symbolism is used, by the "Big Stick" which represents the right to intervene with Latin America if necessary. This cartoon supports my opinion on American Imperialism, because this cartoon shows how the U.S. takes advantage of their powers to control/govern other states.
