The Roosevelt Corollary


This political cartoon set its mindset on the Roosevelt corollary. The message this political cartoon is sending is on a more negative scale. It`s trying to tell us that the Roosevelt corollary is almost like scaring other people with a big cannon, knives and guns. another opinion is that the Roosevelt corollary so strong and the others are not. Some techniques used in this are exaggeration and symbolism. the reason I say exaggeration is because Teddy Roosevelt is ten times bigger than the other. The reason I say symbolism is because of the guns, cannon, knives and size could mean the power of the Roosevelt corollary. So this kind of goes with American Imperialism, but not a lot.
