3. Assuming we don’t all know who Uncle Sam is, he was created as propaganda persuading people to enlist in the American military during the first World War. My chosen image was created long after and shows Uncle Sam in a different light.

4. What is the purpose of the visual? This image was created as anti-war propaganda during the time of the Indo- Chinese War. But it’s purpose surpasses it’s time and can still be seen as anti-war propaganda today. It’s seen as this because he appears unhappy compared to the pro-war counterpart created to recruit soldiers.

5. Who is the intended audience? The intended audience of this photo is American citizens. More than that, it is any person affected by war.

6. Is the purpose changed any when the words are removed? The purpose remains the same even with the words removed. This is because Uncle Sam still seems unhappy and appears to want OUT of the war based on his body language.

7. Is the purpose changed any when Uncle Sam is removed? The purpose is completely changed. It can now refer to wanting out of anything. Perhaps the red, white, and blue imply that this is a political image.

8. How does the artist use pathos? The artist pulls at your emotions because Sam is reaching out to you and this makes you feel sorry for him because he seems upset.

9. How does the artist use logos? The artist appeals to the audience logically by wrapping Uncle Sam in bandages, dressing him in ripped clothes, which shows the negative affects of war on a person.

10. How does the artist use ethos? Ethos is only represented by one thing in this image; Uncle Sam. This builds credibility because the original image of Uncle Sam was taken up by the Federal Government as a national symbol, and here he appears again in a negative tone.
