What is the overt message in this ad? How do we know this? What is the covert message in this ad? How do we know that? How is this propaganda (include and be specific about how it uses the specific types of propaganda we have read about)? Explain.
The overt message is that oil has many valuable uses. The cartoon showed the different ways that oil can be used, such as making tires, roads, or gasoline. The covert message we should appreciate the economy of America and to not try and be like a communist society, like Mars was at the beginning of the short film. This is propaganda because of the vast differences between the overt and covert messages. The propaganda technique they used was transfer because they used the hatred of communism that most people have to make the audience side against the communist society that had been established on Mars.
