The white stripes on his trousers indicate all of the land the United States has taken over within their own continent, while the towels behind President McKinley represent the territories the U.S. has conquered overseas. The towels are resting on top of a flag symbolizing United States foreign policy, so the cartoonist is clearly criticizing the U.S. for neglecting their own policy in order to occupy foreign lands. I like this piece because the cartoonist was able to illustrate his opinion with great symbolism. President McKinley is standing on his tip-toes, so I think that is showing that America is becoming so large that soon he will not be able to reach high enough to measure Uncle Sam's suit once again, showing that he soon may not have the power to rule the nation.]]> 2018-10-05 20:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/2181703/dgfre0mrwpc6/wish/289822504 An analysis of White Man’s Burden 2181703 https://padlet.com/2181703/dgfre0mrwpc6/wish/289824184
  • So, we just started the poem and already our speaker is bossing us around. Take it easy, pal. (Read up on this guy over at our "Speaker" section.)
  • Specifically, he wants us to do some work: "take up," or help out with, "the White Man's burden." Now, a burden is something heavy. If you have to carry home four textbooks from school, that could be a burden. But this could also be something figurative , like a job or a responsibility.
  • In addition to this, the speaker wants us to ship off "the best ye breed." In other words, he's asking for the A-team here. He only wants the very best for this job.
  • Of course, we have to acknowledge now that our speaker's idea of the very best just happens to be a White Man (notice that the poem capitalizes the words specially). So, we're given a clear idea of racial superiority in just the first two lines of the poem.
  • At the same time, the use of the word "breed" in line 2 is telling. Racial categories were considered markers of your inner character during the time that this poem was written. There was a whole "science" behind this idea, which claimed that the way folks looked on the outside could tells us what they were made of on the inside. And guess which category the exclusively white, exclusively male group of "scientists" put at the top of the chain? That's right: white guys.

    This political cartoon: "Ten Thousand Miles From Tip to Tip" (1898) refers to the extent of U.S. domination and expansion (symbolized by a bald eagle) from Puerto Rico to the Philippines, which it contrasts with a map of the United States of 100 years earlier which was much smaller.
