Propaganda is like when there is a bad situation going on in the world and people share made up images, or images not from that situation to make people feel bad about the issue and cause them to show sympathy, and then they'll receive help from people around the world.
According to Merriam-Webster "propaganda" is "ideas or statements that are often false or exaggerated and that are spread in order to help a cause, a political leader, a government, etc."
These images are examples of propaganda
When looking at the first image, I am drawn to the big yellow word "ENLIST" and then next I look at the big red word on the bottom "YOU?". There's also a man looking out of a window, and looking down at an army walking by with an American flag flying above them. I think the words 'enlist' and 'you' are in bold colors, while the other words kind of blend into the background, because the artist wants the viewer to think about enlisting themselves. I think the man by looking down at the soldiers represents the viewer contemplating about joining the army.
When looking at the second image, I first see the big yellow words "Rivets are Bayonets Drive them home". Then there is a man who appears to doing yard work, and is kind of bent over, In the background there is a shadow of a soldier, holding a bayonet, and in the same crouched position. I think the shadow behind represents the man in the front. Like he was the soldier, but since he had a bayonet he was able to come home. It seems like this poster is an advertisement to fund bayonets for the army.
When look at the third and final image, I notice the big yellow and white words "OUR BOYS NEED SOX KNIT YOUR BIT". Then above that is a basket of yarn and knitting needles, as well as the words "American Red Cross". This looks like the Red Cross is asking for people to knit socks for the army. I think the artist of this chose words that rhymed to catch the viewers attention, so that they will actually knit some socks for the army.
