The issue of this political cartoon is the fight to annex Hawaii. The message of this cartoon is that America is doing everything they can to annex Hawaii and overthrow Queen Liliuokalini. Some might think of this move by America as a negative thing. They might think that because if Hawaii already said no to annexation, America should just accept that. Some techniques used in this cartoon are symbolism an exaggeration. The cartoon symbolizes Queen Liliuokalni being overthrown because no queen wants to sit in a spiked throne. The spiked throne is a sign of exaggeration because no throne would be made with spikes sticking out of it. This cartoon supports my idea in no Anti-Imperialism because it shows that America is serious when they say that they are going to get Hawaii, whether Queen Liliuokalni likes it or not
