The issue that the cartoon is about is the Roosevelt Corollary. The message of this cartoon is that Roosevelt is a grand superhero who is protecting Latin America from the Europeans. People may have the idea of thinking that Roosevelt is a bit over controlling, but he did this to protect the people of Latin America. The cartoonist uses exaggeration and an analogy. The cartoonist obviously exaggerated Roosevelt’s size to make him appear grand. The analogy in this cartoon is comparing Roosevelt to a policeman. Roosevelt made the Roosevelt Corollary to make people act as policemen, who make sure that the Europeans don’t come near the Latin Americans. This cartoon supports my opinion by showing that when we imperialize a nation, we are able to protect them and keep them safe.
