Blog post #3 Dinner

To drink, coffee will be served something that Hoover notoriously banned agents at the bureau from drnking after 8:15. 

For the main course, baked ham will be cooked and served with deviled eggs and collared greens. Something his mother would always feed him and tell him not to worry about gaining weight because it was solid weight.

For dessert, angel food cake and chocolate cream pie will be served, as Hoover had to give these two foods up to stay in shabe and keep his weightdown while he was in the bureau.

USA WW1 Navy poster campaigns

Propaganda is when the government takes information and displays it throughan exaggerated viewpoint in order to garner backing from their citizens.
Dictionary.com defines propaganda as "information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help orharm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc."
The image on left shows the United States displaying a navy shipman smiling before he leaves to go on the ship as you can tell by his luggage. The government is showing the navy as a kind of vacation and provides an overall happy image with all the warm colors being used in the background. The artist is trying to show that the navy is not a stressful thing, but a place to be happy and to get a new leash on life. The artist is targeting an audience of young men probably late teens to launch themselves into a career. The second image  shows men firing large anti-aircraft like guns with one firing in the background, possibly trying to appeal to the younger crown with the coolness of these guns, but with this image it is not the image itself that is advertising but the text. The Learn...Guns section shows how theyr'e trying to appeal to people and to let people enjoy themselves by working with the"big guns". The artist much like the last one is trying to appeal to they younger crowd or even the poor who need to learn a trade and the artist shows how they can start/further their career by helping the navy. In the last image, this one is the first to use American patriotism to their advantage, showing an angel soaring through the sky holding an American flag as if to say even if they die in the navy, they live on through America. Showing a Navy sailor advertising to an average man about helping America. The artist is trying to get people to make history by joining the navy and adhering to the patriotic side of people. Unlike the other two, this poster is not targeting a specific audience, just any able-bodied American man. 
While I may not like that the federal government used/uses tax dollars to promote propaganda, I would much rather them do this than to take a chance in living in tyranny. During WW1 it was neccesary for the government to make these posters to sway the opinion about the war and try to get men to join the war effort.

Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau Test

The film Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau shows how imperialism can affect the territories that are being taken over by larger countries by providing jobs, and giving this territory a newfound exposure to its culture. In the film it showed Eddie Aikau becoming a lifeguard for the bay he lived near as tourists had started to flood in mostly from the mainland United States. Then, this exposure from all the tourists gave an outlook on surfing to the entire world, causing a massive rise in popularity, and the Eddie Aikau invitational got participants from all over the globe. Lastly, imperialism was the one of the main reasons, the Hawaiins reconstructed the ancient Tahiti canoe as they wanted to prove to everyone that was learning their history and culture that their ancestors were not some happy-go-lucky guys and were actually very smart.

How do you analyze a political cartoon?

How I think to do it
Step 1. Look for identifying traits to see who's in the cartoon, i.e. Trump's hair
Step 2. Look for symbols that could possibly stand for something
Step 3. Check for sarcasm or something similar

How Loc.gov says to analyze political cartoons
It says to look for symbols, exaggerations in physical characteristics, irony, labeling, and analogies.

I basically had the same thing as LOC.gov besides labeling and analogies, so after reviewing this guide I will continue to look at cartoons the same as I always have, but look for labeling and analogies

Examples of political cartoons:

Cuban Conflict

This Spanish Cartoon displays Uncle Sam as a monstrous troll taking Cuba without warning because Uncle Sam needs control and believes they need to help other countries and lead their way












This cartoon about the Phillipine conflict shows how America despite the best effors of the Phillipines have literally put their foot down and will not be moving any time soon, even though they are not wanted.

Phillipine conflict

American Imperialism

This cartoon shows a Hawaiian native holding hands with a Cuban native, embracing the new thought of becoming independent as shown in the bottom text but really they're just being turned over from one nation to  becoming American as shown by the flags that they are carrying.
