3. Poster 1- This poser shows how the US was not eager to join the war, and that everyone needs to realize that The United States needs to fight back. While looking at this poster, I see a women wearing an American flag sleeping on a fancy chair. She is holding some type of document. It makes me feel like America is lazy, and needs to "Wake Up."

    Poster 2- This poster is porting Germany as a large animal that has just killed a women. It is trying to persuade you to join the US Army. It is on our soil. It is trying to scare Americans into wanting to fight back, and not letting Germany walk all over us.

    Poster 3- This poster is trying to persuade you that "Liberty bonds" help you beat Germany (shown as a barbaric- warlike creature) and support the American soldiers. The creature in shown with bloody fingers looking across a sea. (Maybe the Atlantic.) The "German" looks ready to kill. Maybe for people that can not go to war, this is their opportunity to help.

4. I do not think that the US government should spend money on posters to try and get people to join the war. They should be using that money in the war. If the people aren't notified of what is going on, how will the people join the army over a poster? They really need to keep the world informed without people finding out about the war situation through posters.

5. I believe that the government had to because communication was slim. They had to scare people into believing that the war was coming, and they do not need to wait to take action.
