1. I have heard the word propaganda before and have probably heard it on membean, but I do not remember the definition. If I had to guess, I would think it is a topic or issue that has been brought to the focus of a large audience.

Propaganda- information, ideas, or rumors widely spread to help or hurt a person, group, movement, ect.
4-6. The wording is persuasive; all very big and bold in font as well. The man in the first poster is in a naval uniform and smiling and "A wonderful opportunity for YOU" makes it seem like joining the navy is a benefit for the people in it rather than a sacrifice for our country. The art is less detailed and more cartoon like to make it more appealing by looking the part of an advertisement. The second poster uses less common wording so people may not fully understand what is being said, but is intrigued regardless. The picture shows power by having men stand around watching a giant cannon/gun shoot off. The art, while still fairly cartoon-like, is a little more detailed than the first. The third poster is most painting-like it appears the artist spent lots of time on it gaining appreciation from the viewers. It also shows a well dressed man being persuaded/convinced/guilted into joining the Navy by a sailor and an angel-like woman with a flag which seems to be showing the idea of it being our duty as Americans to defend our country. The facial expressions of the three people in the image all express very different emotions towards/about going into the navy. The business man- seriousness or pride; the sailor- concern or sternness; the angel- worry, fear, longing. The color choice in all three is bright and grabs the attention of viewers, as it should, being an advertisement or recruitment poster. The artists' assumptions of their audience is probably focused towards young men by attracting them with the smile, tank/guns, and patriotism.
7. I don't think we need to waste money on advertisements when they could be brought up in other ways such as the news, magazines, or other ways.
