Who’s the audience for this poster?

Men & Younger WomenWhat does the message suggest about the audience’s beliefs and values?

That they don’t realize that woman can help, and are showing them through the poster that women are helping us with the war, they are doing their part to help our troops

How accurate are these beliefs about the audience?I think that they are pretty accurate because at this time woman were just starting to become powerful with passing the 19th amendment, so people were just starting to notice them and with them actually helping making supplies for war, people’s views were starting to change for the better

What are the writer/artist’s motives for creating this message? We are at war and want woman to work to help us make weapons to send to the troops that are fighting in the war so that women also are helping our countries with all of the duties of fighting in the world, and to show people that women are also helping, that its not just the men

What emotions does the document use to communicate its message? How is the audience likely to feel?

The emotions the document use to communicate its message is showing pride; nationalism women are working to help the soldiers showing devotion to their nation. The audience will notice that women work hard and are helping the soldiers for war. While the men are doing their part so are the women.

What ethical or moral values does the document use to communicate its message? What relevant values are missing?

Since women can’t fight in the war they can help the country by making goods to support the soldiers.The woman waving to the soldier almost shows that women and soldiers are a team/work together.

What will happen if the audience accepts this message? What about the world?People’s point of view of woman will change and see that they are more competent and that they can help us in the industry and not just be house wives, one countries start to realize this then women will start to become more powerful in the voting world and start to pass laws that they want to pass

What’s your overall impression of this message? this is an energetic poster that advertises to mostly women, but men too. The right colors make women want to look at the poster, which then tells them to learn how to make munitions--> then for the men it says, "These women are doing their bit“

Categorize the poster: argument, persuasion, propaganda? Explain your choice!persuasion - because this poster is trying to persuade women to learn and educate themselves on how to make munitions, it is also persuading men to do their "bit" because the women are doing theirs

The background is dark and the red is bright so it attracts the audience. Contrasting colors.

The writer wanted American support.
