The themes or ideas or emotions depicted by these three sources are completely different from each other. The themes depicted by propaganda poster and the pro-war songs are somewhat similar but the anti-war songs portrays a completely different emotion. The propaganda posters of the First World War are based on the theme of anti-German feeling. All the posters have shown Germans as monsters and uncivilized people who needs to be stopped from coming into America and therefore, the war is justified. The poster named ‘Destroy this Mad Brute’ shows an ape carrying women in arms that represents America and the Monster is Germany. And the word enlists shows that the army needs more people to stop this.
