The Spanish-American War-1

Analysis Paragraph:
The issue of this political cartoon is the Spanish-American War. This is the issue, because on the side of the cartoon there is a map of the Philippine Islands, and the side-note is telling us this is the takeover of the Philippines. The cartoonist's message is that the Spanish-American War was a horrible war. This message is shown because of all the dead citizens from the war. This message is also shown by the sword in the lady's hand which represents unbalanced justice with the treatment given to the citizens. I can imagine another person's opinion at that time frame say, that the Spanish-American War was necessary because the U.S. had to break the harsh treatment from Spain and Cuba. The cartoonist uses labeling. Labeling is shown with the map and the sword that says justice but is showing how unbalanced justice is. The cartoonist is also using exaggeration. Exaggeration is shown by the ways the citizens were killed, and possibly over exaggerating the skin color of the citizens. This cartoon supports my opinion on American Imperialism, because the cartoon is basically representing the effects of the U.S. getting involved with other peoples problems.
