Aim: How does Orwell criticize society through Boxer and Benjamin?

With a partner, discuss and write about 2 images. Consider the message, the audience, the perspective, the bias, and the persuasive technique. How should you respond as a Tech student? How should the intended audience respond? Why?




The intended audience for the first image could be unhealthy eaters or people unaware of soda’s health risks. There isn’t a bias, but is mostly informing them about the health concerns. It uses a “fear tactic” to get people to avoid drinking soda.

The Facebook ad is satirical. It plays on old war-era posters. By posting to social media, people think they are contributing to something greater and making an impact while they are not.

The PETA ad uses pathos. It plays with your emotions by telling you that eating meat will kill animals. The bias would be against meat industries.

The last one shows soldiers shows American soldiers murdering babies. This is to influence the North Korean people into being against the American government. 



We were also given a scenario and asked what we would do if we were presented with this situation.
