The propaganda at that time was aimed at was aimed the working class of the U.S. The propaganda was directed to the average person, or people that the government thought would help support the war. My first picture shows a little girl asking her dad to but her a war bond. It trying to imply that every family should go out a get a war bond. That little girl is trying to imply to the world that that buying a war bond is a cute or necessary in order to keep a little girl happy. A father never wants to see his little girl cry so he usually gets her what she wants. The government is trying to imply that everyone has to buy a war bond in order to help the little girl (U.S) in order for it to be happy. So the average person might feel somewhat required to go and buy a war bond to keep the U.S happy. Also the image is trying to show that the little war bond is for a good cause. Little children sometimes try say that they will be good in return for the gift. The reality is that the war bonds weren't doing anything except letting thousand of soldier die for issue that was happening on the other side of the pacific.

War is probably something that this little girl didn't want to promote. But she did and she made it seem like if this was a giant wedding or a happy occasion. But in reality war is this torturous place were one side wins just because they have the better weapons or strategy. But in the process killing thousand s of innocent kids. Also when they die there was no one to give them a proper funeral. They were left there to die in mass graves or were left there for parasites to eat their body.

The cost of war is something that we all sometimes have to pay in order for freedom. But war should never to be the first answer. The wars in this world are happening because no one used diplomacy but instead death. And because of there foolish mistake thousands of people died. War should always be a last resort unless you want to...

    ...  Part B World War 1 made a colossal impact to all aspects of human life around the world, everyone who fought, witnessed, and survived from this catastrophic event was impacted on each to different degrees and consequences. One of the major groups who were affected by World War 1 were the women of Britain, playing a significant role to provide for their family and for the men who fought in the war. With the early rush of volunteers in 1914 and the conscription in 1916 led to a shortage of manpower on Britain’s home front, this then led to women taking up jobs normally done by the men such as farming or bank clerks. This was the start of a major social change as prior to the war a women’s main job was to stay at home to bring up the family and to do domestic work. Both source A and source B show how women’s lives had changed at the home front in Britain during World War 1, source A shows a photograph of women working in a munitions factory, this is an example of how women’s roles changed during this time as a women’s main job was staying at home and not to get their hands dirty. Source B is an image of a type of propaganda which was used during that time to get women involved in the war by taking over jobs normally done by men, such as a munition worker....

  • The War of the Worlds Research Paper

    ...THE WAR OF THE WORLDS Jonathan P. Benitez IV-LopezJaena English-Mrs.Sanchez Introduction The War of the Worlds (1898), a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist's (and his brother's) adventures in London and the countryside around London as Earth is invaded by Martians. Written in 1895–97,[2] it is one of the earliest stories that details a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. The War of the Worlds has two parts, Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. The narrator, a philosophically inclined author, struggles to return to his wife while seeing the Martians lay waste to southern England. Book One (Chapters 14, 16, and 17) imparts the experience of his brother, also unnamed, who describes events in the capital and escapes the Martians by boarding a ship near Tillingham on the coast sixty-five miles northeast of London and is not mentioned again. The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears and prejudices. At the time of publication it was classified as a scientific romance, like his earlier novel The Time Machine. The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never gone...

  • World War 1 DBQ Essay

    ...World War 1 DBQ Prior to the start of World War 1, several countries in Europe were fixated on being the dominant country in Europe, seeking to hold the top position on the social hierarchy among the European nations. After the Age of Imperialism, many Europeans took great pride in their countries’ growth and prosperity. The most powerful countries in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century were becoming wealthier due to the trade from African colonies, while other countries (without income or revenue from colonies) struggled to achieve the same success. A strong sense of militarism in European countries and their root causes from alliances and rivalries contributed to the start of World War One. European countries passionate nationalism and need to show their dominance over other countries were the validation for many of their actions causing WW1. However, the most important underlying cause of World War 1 was militarism in European nations. During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, European countries raced to imperialize Africa for the raw materials needed for Industrialization. Colonies offered their parent country cheap materials, political influence, and affluence. Great Britain, alone, had more than ten times the amount of colonies than Germany before the beginning of WWI (Doc 11). France and Great Britain...

  • Essay- War of the Worlds

    ...How does the director Steven Spielberg, use film techniques to convey one or more themes in his film, War of the Worlds? Steven Spielberg utilizes many techniques, in his film, War of the Worlds, including camera work, actors and sound effects to convey various themes such as family relationships. An initial scene, ‘Eve of the War’, establishes the relationships amongst the family especially around the central character Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) which are built upon in ‘Coming of the Invaders’. ‘Worst of Man’ is a turning point in the story where Ray’s character is developed to reveal the love for his children. In ‘The Fight Begins’, Spielberg uses sound-effects to convey the development in Robbie’s relationship with Ray. ‘Underfoot’ and ‘Earth Under Them’, are some of the closing scenes where the extent of Ray’s relationship with Rachel Ferrier (Dakota Fanning) is realized and his love his emphasized, further developing this theme. ‘Eve of the War’ is one of the first scenes in the film where various camera angles and dialogue are used to establish relationships within the family. The relationship between of Mary-Anne (Miranda Otto) and Ray Ferrier in ‘Eve of the War’ is cleverly shown by using a low angle shot to look up at Mary-Anne while she talks down at Ray imparting that she is the superior in their relationship and also more competent. However the key relationship is...

  • War of the Worlds Novel Essay

    ...Nathan Hoffman Period 3 5/21/13 Ms. Wolf War of the Worlds: Men to mice “Fear makes us feel our humanity” , Benjamin Disraeli. The novel War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells (1898) follows the story of a man and his brother in England during an Alien invasion . In 2005 Steven Spielberg made the film War of the Worlds based off of the book. In his version we follow one man in modern America during an Alien Invasion. As a divorced father he’s trying to desperately reach Boston to reunite his kids with their mother as humanity is being destroyed and made into an inferior race. Spielberg made the change to modern times for the modern audience and decided to change the protagonist so the viewer may be more attached to the story. Through the use of sound and editing Spielberg translates the theme of mankind as a lesser species to the silver screen and to the audience in his rendition of War of the Worlds . In the scene where the Tripod comes out of the ground Spielberg uses the sounds of the Alien to demonstrate the loudness of the more advanced species invading our quiet world. As the tripod rises from the ground the sound effects of the Alien technology establishes how advanced and sophisticated they are as the people watch in awe. The dusty quite vehicles in the background pale in comparison to this giant metal humming from the tripod. Our...

  • War of the Worlds Analysis Essay

    ...War of the Worlds A New Jersey crane operator and hopeless father, Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise), has his weekend with his kids interrupted by alien invaders who have come to destroy Earth and its inhabitants. We follow the Ferrier family as they struggle to survive the extermination attempt as they herd along the east coast. Along the way their relationships are tested as they learn more and more about each other, and mankind. Accompanying Cruise on the screen is a very impressive Dakota Fanning as Ray's 10 year old daughter, Justin Chatwin is his typical teenage son, and Tim Robbins plays a paranoid survivor that the family bunks up with for a few nights. Over all the acting is suffice, like I said; Fanning takes the cake in her role, where everyone else pulls off the performances needed. However I am not telling you to see this movie because of the acting. It is the special effects, sound effects, action, and mainly the techniques used by Spielberg to tell the story is what you will enjoy. The entire film is from the one family's point of view. This works great because the audience is more able to attach themselves to the characters. Unlike Independence Day, which had several "main" characters and just as many story lines, the audience had to settle as more of an omniscient observer than a participant. This also contributes to the pacing of the movie. War of the Worlds stays well...

  • Essay about The Martian Effect. the War of the Worlds Broadcast

    ...the dial on the Chase&Sandborn coffee ads found themselves, stunned, listening to what seemed like a live report of an alien invasion occurring in Grover’s Mill, New Jersey. The ‘live report’ was actually part of the Mercury Theatre on the Air’s fictional Halloween broadcast, the War of the Worlds. Howard Koch’s radio adaption of H.G Wells’s 1898 novel resulted in chaos. People all over the country began fleeing cities; calling loved ones, and flooding churches and police stations. The reaction forced audiences and networks alike to realize that “when the circumstances are right the media can create panic and other effects that are unpredictable, disruptive, and wide-ranging.” In my essay I will discuss the three major reasons why the radio dramatization War of the Worlds broadcast resulted in a nationwide panic: first the fear of foreign invasion was a realistic concern in 1938; secondly the show’s manipulation of sound blurred the line between fiction and reality in a way that had never been done before; lastly newspapers across the country printed stories that exaggerated the hysteria in an attempt to tarnish radio’s reputation as a serious and reliable media outlet. The War of the Worlds aired during a period of political turmoil and paranoia in America. Fears of foreign invasion and anxieties toward technological advancements governed people’s reaction to the broadcast. In the...

  • Differences between H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" novel and 1953 film Essay

    ... ENG 3c Culminating Assignment The War of the Worlds: Book and movie adaptation comparison By Magaidh Gordon Part A: Summary Text: The War of the Worlds (1898), a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist's (and his brother's) adventures in Surrey and London as Earth is invaded by aliens. Written in 1895, it is one of the earliest stories that details a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. Despite its age, this book is still a widely-enjoyed classic, and has inspired nearly 50 movies, 6 Broadway productions, and 2 musicals (one of which I personally own) in its time! The War of the Worlds presents itself as a factual account of the Martian invasion. The narrator is a middle-class scientific journalist somewhat reminiscent of Doctor Kemp in The Invisible Man, with characteristics similar to Wells' at the time of writing. The reader learns very little about the background of the narrator or indeed of anyone else in the novel; characterization is unimportant. In fact, none of the principal characters are named The War of the Worlds has two parts, Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. Part 1: The Coming of the Martians The first book begins with the narrative in an astronomical observatory at Ottershaw where...
