WWI Poster Analysis
1. Propaganda is artwork made to unite people against a common enemy
2. information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.

3. Set 6 Images 1-3 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-7jsJa5YaWrSWpZS3B6c3BJRjg/view)
4.
1st image: this picture shows a mother holding her babies, while they are crying. The poster says on the side "Must children die and mothers plead in vain?" At the bottom it is promoting people to buy liberty bonds, so the US could save these poor mothers from the grasp of Germany. The women in this picture is holding one of her arms up, maybe to surrender or shield her family from something. She is also surrounded by trash and pots all around her as if her house was ransacked.
2nd Image: This image is also promoting liberty bonds, saying "For you- they are giving their lives over there for them- you must give every cent you can spare." The picture shows a women covered in the american flag pointing across the ocean at a war torn area with bombs going off. She seems to resemble the Statue of Liberty sitting just off the cost. The women is holding her hand out to the US, as if she is asking for more war bonds.
3rd Image: This image shows a dead soldier holding his rifle with the text "His liberty bond paid in full" at the top and bottom of the poster. At the bottom there is a paragraph talking about this boys last sacrifice to his country, and how we need more liberty bonds to have enough people to take his place when he falls.
5.
1st image: the intent of this message is to get people to buy war bonds by trying to make people have empathy for the poor people in Europe, who need to be freed by US forces.
2nd Image: This image again asks for war bonds, showing Europe in war, with the women looking sad as if we are going to lose the fight. This is also using guilt or empathy to try and get people to buy war bonds
3rd Images: The intent of this image was to have people buy war bonds, so we would have enough money to train soldiers to take his place in the fight.
6.
1st image: The artist assumes that the people will feel bad for this women, and that they are likely in a family so they can have empathy for this women
2nd Image: This artist assumes that the people know of the horrible things happening in Europe, and that people will feel bad for the soldiers and buy war bonds
3rd Image: The artist is assuming that the people seeing this will read the bottom paragraph and know that the US needs their money to keep fighting the war. The people are also supposed to feel bad, seeing this dead soldier laying on the ground, fighting for his country.
7. I don't like the idea of the government spending tax money, to try and convince people to donate money. The government put the US into the war that the citizens might not even want to fight in, already using their tax dollars for the war.
8. The government thought it was necessary to make these posters, because they knew the impact the war would have on the US's economy, and that they didn't have enough money to fight the war.
