Political Cartoon Analysis
This cartoon is focused on the Open Door Policy. This is shown through the open doors to China. The cartoonist's message is China is very wanted and America is the only one with the key and America is the only one that will decide what to do with China. This is clear through how the cartoonist depicts Uncle Sam, standing in front of the door to China, standing over the other countries. Some people may believe that America only made it better to deal with China. This cartoonist uses exaggeration and symbolism. Exaggeration is used through the height of Uncle Sam compared to the other countries. Symbolism is used in the key that is in Uncle Sam's hand. Some other symbolism is used in background. You can see the tree on the right and the beautiful scenery behind the door represents resources and new markets. This cartoon agrees with me because I feel that America took control of China too much, mostly because we had proposed the Open Door Policy.
