Animal Farm Propaganda Poster

image

In this poster you can see that there is a confident pig in a wrestling rink with a defeated man, and outside the rink there is an apple and a carton of milk that seems to be the coachs, that are cheering on the pig. As shown above there are many propagandas in this poster. The first technique that is used in the poster is name calling, because the person shown in the picture is described as an enemy, which is stereotyping all people. The second technique used in the poster is glittering generalities, because there is a saying on the top of the poster that reads “The apples and milk are for the pigs to fight the enemy.” This makes us accepting and approving the facts without examining the evidence carefully. The third technique used in the poster is scapegoat, because the poster is blaming the humans without properly investigating the issue. The last technique used in the poster is fear. In the poster, it is shown as though if the pigs were not there, the animals would not be able to survive, and that the humans would come back to take over the farm and the animals, which leads the animals to feel danger.
