4a: I see right away the big red cross that is in the corner of the picture. My eye is drawn to the lady and child since they are bright compared to the drab and gray background. The background is dark with I'm assuming the 4 horsemen or something similar in the background maybe the 3 on horseback represent the axis powers during WW1. While the lady and child are brightly colored and are shown with the lady having her hand out. 

   5a: The artist was trying to show off a sense of dread with this image but also hopeful with the woman and child.

6a: The target audience was women. 

 4b: I see right away the lady in white with the diploma. That is what I'm drawn too, I also notice that the door says opportunity on it. I'm drawn mostly to the lady though which was the author's intention. 

5b: The message this ad is trying to show is that becoming a nurse will give you a bright (all white clothing) future along with opportunity's as well.  

6b: The ideal target for this ad is young women. 

 4c: I see right away the lady working as an operator. My eyes are drawn to the troops in the background of the picture because I noticed the horse and the gray hats worn by the troops. 

5c: The artist was hoping people would feel a sense of helping out with the war effort since they were some females helping over there at the time and they wanted people to feel the need to join the YWCA and help out. 

6c:  I believe the target audience is men because they want them to help out the women who are over there helping out because if they have to then the men should too. 

7:   It depends what the subject matter is and what the intention is. Rallying citizens around during war time is good but like making an campaign against like a group of people isn't good.

8:  The government needed to keep American's interested in the war because while at first it was just a European conflict they eventually were going to be in it.
