A Modern King Canute

The issue of this political cartoon is the annexation of Hawaii. The message the cartoon is trying to say is that America should stop being dominant. Some others, like me however, would say that America has the right to act dominate if they are being challenged. Some techniques used in this cartoon are symbolism and exaggeration. The king in the cartoon symbolizes America and the king’s exaggerated size represents America’s power. This cartoon does not support my opinion about going against Anti-Imperialism. However, America needs to have some sort of force against foreign countries in order to stay the country they are today.
