1. Describe what you see in the picture. Consider color, placement, people and objects, and composition. Everything that you see.
In the picture I see a 'healthy family'. They all look like they are, and have, lived a happy life, they look like they are enjoying themselves. I can see that the 4 children look happy and healthy, which is how it should be. The father looks strong and brave while the mother looks kind and caring, that is what Hitler thinks it should be and sure enough if people saw this poster then they would want to be a part of this too, they would vote for Hitler and that was Hitlers aim.
2. Interpret: Guess about the creator is trying to express through the caption and images. Why is this message being conveyed?
I would guess that the creator was trying to show that if they voted for Hitler this is the life that a German citizen would lead. I would interpret that the message that is trying to be conveyed is that voting for the Nazi party would be better for the Nation, if you voted for this political party then more families is Germany would look like the one in the photograph.
Evaluate: What is the intended purpose of this image? The intended audience? Does the image achieve its purpose?
The intended purpose of this image is to vote for the Nazis because if you do then your family will, in due course, start looking like this one. This poster is not to persuade the Jews to vote for Hitler but for the Germans to, because the family in the picture is supposed to be a German family not a Jewish family, the whole point is that a Jewish family will never look like that, ever. I think that the image does achieve its purpose because if I were a German I would take one look at that poster and say, 'Wow, I wish my family looked like that and I would soon end up voting for the Nazi Party, because Hitler did know how to use propaganda well.
