The issue of this political cartoon is Uncle Sam reading a file. While the queen of Hawaii is sitting on her throne in Hawaii. The cartoonist message is Uncle Sam reading what the file says which is meant for Hawaii. Uncle Sam is trying to get Hawaii as he did for the Philippines. Other people might think that the queen of Hawaii is waiting to hear a deal. Or that she is peacefully at home not knowing what Uncle Sam is doing. The cartoonist used labeling by labeling what the file is and the stuff around the pictures. He also used symbolism by showing America and Hawaii. This cartoon doesn't support my view on American Imperialism. This is because Uncle Sam is trying ton get Hawaii forcefully than asking for the land.
