Using a cultural artifact and a part of our reading and relate them

*there is 2 separate ones, so 1 page each*

1. Describe your cultural artifact. Tell us the story of where it came from and how audiences received it.
2. Contextualize it in relation to the days reading, the unit, the course theme. How does it serve as a context for our reading? How does our reading serve as a context for it?
3. Close read the artifact itself. Tell us what you take it to mean and what you learned (and what we might learn) about the history of American imperialism from it.
