This propaganda is aimed at women during World War II. It is saying that the women need to work the jobs that men would normally be working, because the men are at war. Being as their was a huge jolt of patriotism because of Pearl Harbor and the other horrors of World War II, this piece of propaganda seems pretty reasonable. Women working in factories and other jobs of that sort was unheard of until now, but being as the biggest, most violent war of all time was going on, I'm sure women found this socially acceptable. The phrase is catchy and I'm sure that it did help get some women to work, because tons of women were working during World War II.
Thesis statement stuff is up, sorry it took me so long
ReplyDeleteThis is my paragraph. I will also bring a copy in to class.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between the Party chocolate and the Inner Party chocolate is apparent. But the only people who seem to know about the difference are the ones who are a part of the Inner Party. The Party people have no idea what is happening to them and they do not even know that it is happening. “ It appeared that here had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it” (Orwell 51). The Party people are just going along with what they have been told. They do not think that just the day before it had all been different. The higher power controlling them is the manipulator in the society. Later in the story, Winston consumes some of the old chocolate from his childhood and realizes the true difference. “Even before he had taken it he know by the smell that is was very unusual chocolate. It was dark and shiny, and was wrapped in silver paper. Chocolate normally was dull brown crumbly stuff that tasted, […]. But at some time or another he had tasted chocolate like the piece she had given him”(Orwell 101). Julia received the chocolate off the black market and that is the only way to get this kind. The Party chocolate is just a substitute for the real chocolate that the Inner Party keeps hidden and does not share. The chocolate is just another example of a higher power controlling the ways of the lower Party.
