In Victoria Stewart’s propaganda poster, it shows an image of Old Major being slaughtered by a human with a bloody knife and a gash wound. The words “four legs good, two legs bad”, are on the top and bottom of the poster. She used four strategies for her poster including fear, name calling, glittering generalities and common enemy. Her main strategy in this propaganda poster is fear because the first image readers will see is the dead animal with knife. They will be very scared then they will read the motto and realize the must stay away from the heartless humans. The next strategy Victoria used was glittering generalities, the catchphrase is “four legs good, two legs bad”, although this is not a very complex piece of information the message is much larger then is may seem. The message is all animals or things with four legs are good and humans, a two legged creature, is bad and evil. Common enemy is the next strategy used by Victoria, the faceless human is a representation of all humans. The unknown humans are the real animals that then kill for their own survival. Humans are the enemy. The final strategy was name calling, the motto is “four legs good, two legs bad”, which is direct name call to humans because it is saying thing with two legs is bad. It may not be a direct threat but if readers analysis the posters and all the different elements it is all leading back to the nada human who killed an innocent animal.

 

1) Exposition
“I’d like to inquire about a lot,” the old man said, the effort of his decision evident in his voice. (115)

2) Rising Action
“Please sign here.” Mr. Jerome pushed the document towards him. The old man signed in a shaky hand. (118)

3) Rising Action
During the ensuing year old man Blake made periodic visits to his lot. All the workmen in the cemetery knew him by name. (118)

4) Rising Action
On the other side of the thicket he was surprised to find Mr. Blake stooping over a high, square, white box, intent on fixing something. A bee circled slowly overhead, then dove for it’s target. (119)

5) Climax
Then it was that Mr. Jerome began to understand. The full implications left him aghast. There was no precedent for this in all cemetery history. “How dare you operate a beehive in this cemetery?” (119)

6) Falling Action
“It’s on my property. I purchased it, did I not?” “No business such as this is allowed with this sanctuary.” (119)

7) Falling Action
“Mr. Jerome, I have done you a great service. Your flowers have never been so magnificent or plentiful.” “That’s true,” he was forced to admit. (120)

8) Denouement
The old man straightened and looked at him proudly. “Mr. Jerome, I have reached an important decision: I should like to buy another lot.” (121)
