Race For The Prize

             The theme of the song is to illustrate the risks taken in the space race. We can understand that it is about the space race when the song repeatedly talks about the two scientists. Directly when it states, "upwards to the vanguard." We have evidence from the song that it is talking about the universe beyond our atmosphere. The sing portrays the importance ff the space race by repeating, "Theirs is to win, if it kills them, They're just humans, with wives and children." This proves the risks that were taken during the space race, and that the astronauts were knowingly risking all that they had. The theme of the song was tied to the ultimate goal of reaching space.

Patrick Henry

“Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?"

Patrick Henry uses the ad bacalum fallacy to create fear in the minds of American’s to serve a purposeful meaning. He uses this fear that he has created as a way of convincing his citizens that he is right and the cause is a legitimate one. It is a fallacy because he makes it seems like the British are the ones urging this to happen when really it is just his mind churning. His thoughts are fearful, and the Americans are driven by their fear of suppression into thoughts of Revolution.

Fallacy is so effective because most people are not paying attention to the manipulation going on when they are speaking. They are clinging to the words, and not looking for the falsehoods or misjudgments in a speech, but instead looking for what they want to hear. This is what makes a fallacy so effective, and why these speeches were so convincing.

Duck and Cover

Overt: This message was to let all citizens know that America was ready for an attack and what to do if it happened. Duck and Cover.
Covert: To let the citizens know that America always had their back and their was no challenge that they could not face. They wanted to not cause panic by educing this message, and to re insure citizens that America was always watching out for them.
I think this was propaganda because it had a covert message using plain folk. They used the life of everyday Americans to demonstrate an overt message whilst re installing a covert message of America is a shield of protection.

Destination Earth

Overt Message: Tyranny is bad, and it blatantly states that when the explorer character says it. Also it says that competition and oil are good, and that the United States is the best country in the world.
Covert: USA has a much higher standard of living, communism is bad, socialism is bad, and we know all of this when the explorer is going through his list of things that were great about America.
This was propaganda because it has a distinct covert message that communism is bad, and America is the best.

The Clash

This song is about Nazi Germany, and we know this because they talk about the blue-eyed man, Jews, and using the statement young believers.
The vocals get louder and softer when singing about the good and bad moments the song is describing.
This song is a form of propaganda saying how unreasonable the Nazi's were.

Propoganda

1. The overt message is to eat less bread, and we know this because it is in bold red. It stands out because of the black background and the contrast makes the message overt.
2. To eat less to have our troops eat more is the covert message. We know this because it says the kitchen is the key to victory, and you have to think about the message it is saying making it covert.
3. The overt says a simple thing, and the covert message adds a second level to it.

Four quotes, J-L

520. Nothing changes more consistently than the past. The past that influences our lives [is] not what
actually happened but what [we] believe happened. GERALD W. JOHNSON (1890-1980), Heroes and
Hero-Worship, 1943
This quote uses a direct form of persuasion to make us believe that the past is the most changed article in our society.  This quote relates to 1984 because they use their technology to alter the past into whatever we desire it to be, and because of that they gain control of a society. Johnson used direct words to make us believe what he was saying to be a fact, not a theory. Johnson recognizes a flaw in society that everyone can relate to one way or another, and exploits it using direct language and a firm tone. This quote is very persuasive because it makes us believe that what he is saying is completely correct due to the direct language he has chosen.
