Imperialism In White Man's Burden

156 Words1 Pages
The illustration shows a native being carried by a white soldier because the whites forced the natives to learn their religion, language, politics, and economics. As the whites were in charge of this burden the image shows the non-white man being hauled by the white soldier up a hill (with things on it) instead of a regular pathway to show that it was a struggle for all. This describes imperialism by showing that they just barged into a country and changed their whole lifestyle. In the image towards the right back there appears to be a house; I believe that is where the soldier is taking the native. The native will learn the whites religion, language, and their believes in politics/economics. This relates to the poem, “White Man’s Burden”
