(4) one technique, the testimonial, involves having a well-known person appear on behalf of the product being sold. (5) advertisers assume, for example, that if we admire a sports star, we’ll want to eat the cereal he or she endorses. (6) another common propaganda technique, the bandwagon, makes us want to be “one of the gang.” (7) “everybody’s switching to . .” “don’t be left out . . ” and “all across america, people are discovering . . ” are phrases that signal a bandwagon approach. (8) the plain-folks propaganda technique is especially popular on tv.

Read rita dove’s poem "sonnet in primary colors,” then study frida kahlo’s painting self-portrait with monkey and parrot. this is for the woman with one black wing perched over her eyes: lovely frida, erect among parrots, in the stern petticoats of the peasant, who painted herself a present— wildflowers entwining the plaster corset her spine resides in, that flaming pillar— this priestess in the romance of mirrors. each night she lay down in pain and rose to the celluloid butterflies of her beloved dead, lenin and marx and stalin arrayed at the footstead. and rose to her easel, the hundred dogs panting like children along the graveled walks of the garden, diego’s love a skull in the circular window of the thumbprint searing her immutable brow. which statements best describe differences in the style of the two works? the painting pays attention to details of kahlo’s physical appearance, while the poem does not. the poem portrays the painter as serious, while the painting does not. the poem reveals details that explain kahlo’s facial expressions, while the painting does not. the painting uses imagery that tells of kahlo’s connection to nature, while the poem does not.
