Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago

Symbols of Liberty:

Torch : The torch is the strongest symbol that Bartholdi incorporated into the Statue. In fact the Statue's real name reflects its true meaning: "Liberty Enlightening the World".

Crown: The statue wears a crown with seven spikes. This represents the 7 seas and 7 continents of the world, re-enforcing the universal concept of liberty.

Tablet: The Statue holds a tablet in her left hand. It is a book of law based on the founding principles of this
nation, a nation based on law.

Writing on the Tablet: The Statue's tablet contains writing on it. This was one of the last changes that Bartholdi made to the Statue. It was originally left blank. Bartholdi placed the date of America's independence on the tablet ( JULY IV MDCCLXXVI ). They are in roman numerals which are symbolic of law.

Windows of the crown: ( 25 ) Represent the heaven's rays of light that shine over the 7 seas and continents.

Shape of the Tablet: Do you know what the tablet's shape is called? It is a keystone. In architecture, a keystone is the stone which keeps the others together. Without it everything would fall apart. The keystone of this nation is the fact that it is based on law. Without law, freedom and democracy would not prevail.

Sandals: The Statue of Liberty actually wears sandals. She is also not standing still. Even though the Statue stands on a pedestal, she is actually walking ahead moving forward. This goddess is lighting the path to freedom through peace, not violence. Her footwear also suggests her stature as a free person.

Robe: The Statue of Liberty wears a free-flowing robe or stola, which powerfully refers to the Roman influence of the goddess "Libertas", which was worshipped by freed slaves.

Broken Chains: Located at the Statue's feet symbolize the freedom that Lady Liberty has. It demonstrates that the Statue is free from slavery and bondage.

Shields: Richard Morris Hunt made some representations in his pedestal design as well. He placed shields on each side of the pedestal symbolizing the states in the Union.

Granite Brick: There are 13 layers of granite that comprise the body of the pedestal. The 13 colonies formed America in 1776.

Compare and Contrast the portrayal of imperialism in the political cartoon and Kipling poem of the same name.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Hello. The image to which the question refers is attached below :

Answer and Explanation:

In Kiping's poem we can see that he is positive in relation to imperialism and thinks that it is right for a country so distant and so different from Europeans to be dominated and enslaved, such as Asian countries for example. This poem is called "The white man's burden" and shows how immerialism was a burden that white men had to bear for the good of humanity.

The cartoon supports this idea by showing how the white man is responsible for carrying the other races to victory. The cartoon shows the white man sacrificing himself and causing the other races to win because of his effort alone, as if the cartoons claimed that without the white man, the other races were doomed to ostracism.
