Political Cartoon Analysis
This cartoon is about the Roosevelt Corollary. This is shown through Roosevelt standing in between Latin America and The Eastern Hemisphere indicating the Roosevelt Corollary. The cartoonist's message is that Roosevelt is the mighty police man of the Western Hemisphere. This is shown through the police outfit he is wearing along with the police baton. I can only imagine this as the only response to this cartoon because it is what Roosevelt demonstrated himself as. The cartoonist uses labeling and symbolism. Labeling is used in the papers and baton he is holding. Symbolism is used in the baton as well. It is portrayed as Roosevelt's "Big Stick" as he bats away any foreigners saying "get out, anything in my Hemisphere belongs to me".
