I would categorize this poster as persuasive because it is trying to persuade the audience to do more for their country by asking them if they are really doing all they can to help.]]> 2020-10-16 12:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835319512 "85 million Americans hold war bonds" https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835320134 Bridget- Argument

This poster shows a man clenching his fist of money up at the statue of liberty. This poster was created in 1945 and is part of the "world war poster collection".]]> 2020-10-16 12:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835320134 Nadine-Persuasion bradleyn1 https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835320217 "I Want You"
This is persuasion because the you is underlined to emphasize how much they want you to join the war. This is a very patriotic poster and would be most effective for patriotic people. I chose this poster because Uncle Sam is an American staple to persuade people to join the war so I thought it would be an interesting one to do.

Lawrence Wilbur, 1944

Persuasion. 
It is to convince women at home to get a job during the war. Sitting around isn’t going to make the war go by faster. “Longing won't bring him back sooner”
This was A very important message at the time. The workforce was made up mostly of young and middle age men, which also happened to be the ones drafted in WWII. The only people around that could do the jobs that needed to be done were the women. 
I picked this poster because I have always been so inspired by women during WWII. They were not allowed to do men's jobs during this time and the fact that they all stepped up and kept things running smoothly is incredible.

This poster is meant to drive more men to work and help. This persuasive poster shows that everybody’s help was needed. There are only men in this poster because women didn’t work very much then and, the war materials were not going to make themself so targeting men may have worked better. Encouragement and persuasion 100% I also believe they are trying to guilt-trip you in a way so you feel more obligated to work. Victories cant happen if there are no materials, so stating that factory victories will make the workers feel more obligated and willing to work.

This was an important message to be delivered to the audience of women and girls because it was printed at a time late in the war when many of the nation’s men between the ages of 21 to 45 were being drafted to fight overseas. Since men of this age had made up a very large percentage of the workforce, governments and corporations alike were in desperate need of more workers to keep up with the production of essential war materials such as machinery pieces, guns, and other supplies like food and blankets. Women were being asked to join the workforce out of necessity, but this propaganda poster does an excellent job of demonstrating how this effort was presented to women. This message was a clever advertising strategy because it appealed to a common emotion experienced by its target demographic. Women were scared, lonely, and unsure of the future, and working war jobs would help them to both occupy their minds and contribute to the war effort.

The Manpower Commission’s motives for creating this message were to encourage more women to join the workforce, specifically the sector of the workforce responsible for producing materials for the war. The commission might have personally benefited from the audience’s acceptance of the message by increasing their own profit and also overall rates of wartime production, which would have been beneficial to several parties, including the audience and soldiers fighting abroad.]]> 2020-10-16 12:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835324720 Holly https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835328285 https://americanhistory.si.edu/victory/8713107a.gif
" Labor management committees issued series of posters that addressed plant issues. Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, for example, encouraged women to participate fully in production."

When I came across this poster I chose it right away because it is such a well known poster. Yet I've never took the time to analyze it, or really look at it. So I'm sure some other people haven't either, which is why I thought it was a great one to do. The poster is meant to empower women, to encourage them to work. This is persuasion because not many women worked at this time, and the purpose of the poster is to get more women in the work force, it is encouragement. They picked a great image for the poster, a very strong, and independent woman. That can do everything that a man can do. Getting in there and being a full fledged member of society. ]]> 2020-10-16 12:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835328285 Heidi - Persuasion https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835330308 It is persuading people to grow and can their own food. I picked this poster because it was different from the others, it was happier looking.

I chose this poster because I liked the way the colours of the jars contrasted against the pale background.]]> 2020-10-16 12:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835331412 Dylan [Persuasion] https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835331579 I would say this poster is a persuasion, showing that Britain helps its allies, and its allies help it. The unity between Soviet aircraft and British ships shows that both complement each other.

Using their loved ones who are fighting in the war as a way to persuade them to help out too.]]> 2020-10-16 12:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835332480 Josh - Persuasion https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835332685 https://americanhistory.si.edu/victory/9110321b.gif

I would say persuasion because if they don't support the war it could happen and they are trying to show people what will happen if they don't listen.

I picked this one because I like the art and think it is a good way to use persuasion to make people support the war.

I picked because I really like old world war propaganda  posters. This poster is like this because it is meant to draw people in and get them to signup for the army.

The reason I think it is persuasion is because the government paid this guy to create posters for recruiting men into the war. This poster made them feel obligated or special which was really affect and made them enlist. They did this easily because of the countries color's in the poster and directness of it. The reason I chose this poster was because we looked at it in last years history class and the teacher informed us of how effective and important it was.]]> 2020-10-16 12:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835353033 Alex King (Persuasion) kinga28 https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835362250
           "IT CAN HAPPEN 
                       HERE!"
Fear has always been a great incentive. The poster attempts to incorporate destruction with your home, thus inflicting the fear of the thought of a destroyed home into your brain to encourage you to enroll. It does a great job of linking not joining the army with the reason that your house could get the snot pounded out of it.

I picked it because it uses fear as a driving factor and every single day we make decisions based on fear.]]> 2020-10-16 12:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/robicheausm/mrfcr5qe6poekdj4/wish/835362250
