The message of this propaganda is to enlist for war today. The intended audience for this propaganda are grown men. Techniques that were used were visual appeals. This propaganda poster makes me feel like i want to enlist today for war. This poster shows that if all your buddies are in war, then why don't you join right away with them. Its meant for grown men because women at the time didn't go in war they just stayed home and worked.

  1. Good analysis. I wonder why the poster says "Line up, boys!" I think you are right that it is about the buddies - that it will be fun to go with your friends. I wonder if that's also why they say 'boys'.
