Analysis Paragraph:
This issue is about the Roosevelt Corollary. This is represented by Roosevelt and his two "Big Sticks." The cartoonist's message, is that Roosevelt is the king of the world, by inappropriately using his powers.This is expressed by Roosevelt and his two "Big Sticks" of the new and diplomat. I can imagine a persons opinion at that time frame say, Roosevelt is winging the two sticks to see if it lands in South America or somewhere else. The cartoonist is using analogy. Analogy is being used while explaining the new and diplomaty people. Diplomat people/states can deal with people in a sensitive and effective way, while new people/states are new and can't develop that easily. The cartoonist is also using exaggeration. Exaggeration is being used with the size of Roosevelt compared to all the other states. This supports my opinion on American Imperialism, because this cartoon is showing how selfish Roosevelt is in taking advantage the "Big Stick."
