This poster is trying to persuade the citizen that in order to win the war they must not say anything. The government is saying that if citizens tell information to their enemies they will loose the war. If your lips are sealed no one will know anything and they believe that is the key to winning the war.

AnimeGhoul8863:

im running out of time only have 2 mins and 30 secs

Shadow:

There are three types of appeals: Logos - the logical appeal Pathos - the emotional appeal Ethos - the moral appeal Logos appeals to someones rationality. You should donate to the Humane Society because it is more cost effective to have us get strays off the streets, than having them cause car accidents. Pathos appeals to the emotions of the reader. You should donate to the Human Society because.... *Depict images of dogs in poor conditions, sad faces, sick, hurt, etc Ethos appeals to the morals of the reader. You should donate to the Humane Society because it's the right thing to do.

AnimeGhoul8863:

so is my answer right

AnimeGhoul8863:

i have like 1 min left

Shadow:

They use logos: Essentially, 'talking will undermine the war effort' which is a logic based appeal. Spreading information = consequence Pathos is used as well, since the character depicted in the background looks like an evil man. Thus morality compels me to combat that evil.

AnimeGhoul8863:

so yes or no simple 1 word answer

Shadow:

Paraphrase what I wrote, you are missing the appeals part.

AnimeGhoul8863:

im srry not trying to be rude but i really need a direct

Shadow:

So, no

AnimeGhoul8863:

what do i put i really need the answer now

AnimeGhoul8863:

PLEASE MY TIMER IS ALMOST UP

Shadow:

They used the logos appeal since they laid out a consequence of not staying silent. They used pathos appeal since they depicted an evil man on the poster, playing on the viewers morality.
