The words are sinister and create a feeling of danger and urgency within the viewer. However, even though they’re frightening words, they somehow still radiate hope that things are able to change as long as action is taken. The scene in this poster is meant to evoke a parental instinct within adults to protect all children, even if it’s not their own. In doing this, the artist creates a significant appeal to the parent’s pathos. The children are depicted all alone, left to fend for themselves in the dangerous time of war. Adults, picking up on this fact, would feel compelled to help support the war because of their instinct to protect children. The way they would do this, as advertised in the poster, would be to buy war bonds. This poster, using visual rhetoric, portrays the message that US citizens need to step up and act in support of the war in order to protect their youth, the future of their nation. In the poster, it is already too late. But if the US people act now, they will be able to protect the rest of the children from the Nazi Germany shadow that is slowing encroaching on their nation. They can do this by buying war
