I think that the recognition and emphasis of the patriotism of this ad is vital. Especially considering the time that it was published. I also like that you pointed out that this is your Jo Generic American boy, but I think that it would be valuable to your anaysis if you also considered what he is wearing, the fact that he is crying becuase he isn't getting what he wants, and that he is used to getting nice things for Christmas. All of this pulling together would show that this was a rich kid pouting for not getting what he wants. Discussing money and status beyond his race would help you out, Emily Solishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872420749384240187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898217793567551337.post-30799762749296540052015-01-29T19:41:23.926-06:002015-01-29T19:41:23.926-06:00I think the ad is from roadmaster.

I think it's very much along the lines of "you're not important enough, there's a war going on kid" attitude. Interesting about question of who's the voice behind the ad... Who better to break the news but Santa. No one hates Santa... i think you're on the right track!

This post card is probably being being sent by an older brother or father figure that supports the sell of bicycles with The Cleveland Welding Co and by supporting this bicycle company you support the cause just as much as they do. They want you to know that Santa is very understanding when he makes you realize why you can't have a bicycle for Christmas, instead you should support the making of war materials. They don't want you to forget the Roadmaster company when the war is over either that should be the first thing on your mind.Breanna Reyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420479152096724699noreply@blogger.com
