**Propaganda Poster - Sylvia & Eunice**

Sylvia Jung  Our poster has Mao holding a letter on one right hand and holding a child on the other. He is also with some other students. The students are his followers. The boy has his own copy of a red book and the young girl is supporting China. From this poster, everyone is happy. Mao and the students are all smiling. The background of this poster is at a factory. In this poster, Mao is a father like figure. With him caring for the children and the society, he "does" his best to make China the best. Since he makes himself a father like figure, he also tries to make himself the hero. By spreading his idea and everyone applying/ owning a red book, this shows that he is creating himself as the core of the society. Just my Mao standing in front of a factory and having a scroll (letter) with him shows that he is "caring" for his job. 

Eunice Jang Our propaganda poster has Mao Zedong and three children with the industrialized buildings at the background. By placing Mao in the middle of the poster, it shows that Mao is the most important and powerful one. Also the bright light around Mao is again emphasizing his importance. In Mao's right hand, he is holding an letter, symbolizing his devotion to country and how much he cares about China. In his left hand, he is holding a boy. This emphasizes Mao's father-like position and how he is opened to all Chinese. In Mao's right and left side, there are two children. Each of them are holding a flag and a book. By holding a Chinese flag, it symbolizes the Chinese's loyal and nationalism and by holding a book, the Little Red Book, it again symbolizes people's devotion to Mao. The fact that those are children who are holding a flag and a book, means that even a little child shows his/her loyal to Mao and the China. Also as everyone, including Mao Zedong, is laughing in the poster, it represents that everyone in China is happy under the control of Mao. In the background there are numerous industrialized buildings. These show China's the Cultural Revolution and how much China is developed, rich and powerful.
