This political cartoon is about the Panama
Canal. The message of this cartoon is that Roosevelt’s plans are taking over
the country of Panama. Others might say the opposite of this. They could say
that that Roosevelt is just doing what he needs to do and making the Panama Canal.
This cartoonist used mostly symbolism. We see symbolism by Roosevelt shoveling
away the citizens of Panama as if they were dirt. This cartoonist also used
exaggeration by making Roosevelt much bigger than the people of Panama. This
cartoon shows imperialism because it has America gaining influence and
territory.
