My Response to Elena's blog number 6

I liked your blog this week because it is a good continuation of what we did with propaganda in class this past week. I feel like the picture you found is very similar to the one we saw in class with Uncle Sam reaching over towards Cuba and the Caribbean from the U.S. The eagle, much like Uncle Sam is a very well known symbol for the US, and the way that it is preying upon Latin America with the same kind of greed, and negative atmosphere that is shown is very similar to the picture with Uncle Sam. I don't really know if there is significance behind the bird standing in Africa versus the US or Latin America, but the general symbolism is very similar. I think there may also be a connection between the eyes, and the way that Uncle Sam looks greedy versus the eagle looking borderline evil with the read, squinting, evil eyes. Both images show the US intervention in a negative light and I just felt like connecting the two images, and that's all I really have to say about that.
