La Marseillaise – French National Anthem

The French National Anthem was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle as a rallying call of the French Revolution.

1. Arise you children of our motherland,
Oh now is here our glorious day!
Over us the bloodstained banner
Of tyranny holds sway!
Of tyranny holds sway!
Oh, do you hear there in our fields
The roar of those fierce fighting men?
Who came right here into our midst
To slaughter sons, wives and kin,
Your country

To arms, oh citizens!
Form up in serried ranks!
March on, march on!
And drench our fields
With their tainted blood!

2. Supreme devotion to our Motherland,
Guides and sustains avenging hands,
Liberty, oh dearest Liberty,
Come fight with your shielding bands,
Come fight with your shielding bands!
Beneath our banner come, oh Victory,
Run at your soul-stirring cry.
Oh come, come see your foes now die,
Witness your pride and our glory.

To arms, oh citizens!
Form up in serried ranks!
March on, march on!
And drench our fields
With their tainted blood!

1. Pictures and songs are used so that everybody can see the pictures and hear the songs. if I was a Revolutionary leader i would do public speaking because i think it would be the easiest and best way to get a message out to the people.

2. the Boston tea party picture is propaganda because they are telling people about the Boston tea party

All pictures and songs are meant to be read and seen. They give you a better view of what they're describing. I do agree that the picture of the boston tea party is a propaganda because that is a famous event that really effected the cause of the revolutionary war.

I agree with you because if you was a revolutionary leader than you can do speaking instead with doing songs and pictures because the people or whoever is listening to you than they will know what you ( the revolution leader) will know what he or she is saying.

1)Pictures, cartoons, and public speeches. Pictures and cartoons are things that both adults and kids love and if you would want to convey the message of revolution, you would want it to happen the best way. Public speeches can often work too. A public speech can not only describe your opinion, it can also describe other peoples opinion too. If I were a revolutionary leader I would choose pictures, cartoons, and public speeches.

2)"Unite or Die". "Unite or die" is a propoganda picture bacause it is a picture that tries to tell us that we should come together or die. It is also a political cartoon.

Jackson.H.Elv2

I agree with everything you talked about. I agree that public speeches are a good way to communicate the idea of a revolution. I agree because people could listen and ask questions about that person's beliefs. I also agree that the poster "Unite or Die" is a propaganda because the people of the 13 colonies wanted to be a nation or country, but the British govrnment wouldn't let them unless they won the war.

I agree with both of your answers because you explain how you believe that they are true which then leads me to believe them as well. You told them very nicely, so I agree with both of your answers becasue you still need pictures and cartoons becasue people will understand better through pictures and funny cartoons.

Bryetra.C

1/10/2013 02:04:45 pm

I agree adults and kids love cartoons.

Cambrea.ST.ELV.3

1/7/2013 11:53:04 pm

P1:If i could pick any idea I would pick slogans and pictures because to me when i see pictures or slogans they can tell me a lot of things in the picture instead of writing essays,letters,or public speaking. The reason is that for example when i see a no bulling sign on the hall in the school and there is pictures of two kids picking on another kid and another kid standing up for him then i now understand why we shouldnt bully and what are the causes and effects aganist them.If i can pick another idea it would be a cartoon because every little kid watches cartoons so if we get the word out from cartoons then kids will understand it more clearly.

P2:I would chose the liberty, equality,and franiety picture to be as a propgrande because its showing us that everbody can have freedom, respect if we treat everybody the same. Another reason is that everybody can have franiety(which means botherhood) if we cared and respect enough for everybody.

1: If i where the revalutionary leader and i had to make a communication that will revolutionize the masses out of songs and pictures of the revolution.
2:Pictures should help because the citizans will pay more attention to the pictuer. Besides if the revolution government payed more attention to the songs than the citizans will not know what the song is about.

Elvington 1/9/13

You did not address the part 2 response.

Jackson.H.Elv2

1/8/2013 12:15:41 am

1) Pictures and songs are being shown because they describe what a revolution was like from perspectives. If I was a revolutionary leader I would send letters, this way only the people who want to start a revolution only know about what I tell them. If I were to communicate in public the enemy might stop me but they can't read other people's letters.
2) I think the picture of the slave revolt is a propaganda because this started a revolution says so the description. This can start a revolution because the slaves want freedom so they fight for liberty and rights. Most revolutions are fought for that... Liberty, freedom, and a voice.

sebastian.c.elv3

1. Picture and song told people that the revalution was going on, so the picture showed them what is and happening in the revalution and the pictures were just signs of trust to know that be ok, song was a way of telling us what the picture ment so they would both get our attention. If I was a revalutionary leader I would do ppublic speaking and make more signs that would tell everyone whats happening.

2. The 'Dont Tread On Me' picture is propaganda because it shows us that if people got in their way, step on them and they will face the consequences.

Part 1: The pictures and songs were used to convey a revolution because they wanted to make better laws and rules for people. Also wanted to have a reason and evidence to make a revolution.

Part 2: The picture that I chose was the last photo because it a picture of a group of people trying to harm a person.My evidence to support my answer is in the poem i says,"To slaughter sons, wives and kin" and that means they want to harm a person for know reason. So the picture that i pick it the same as the poem because they want to harm someone that did not do anything to you.

1) The pictures and songs were used to convey a revolution because they wanted to show you what it was like from there perspective.If i was a revolutionary leader i would give a speech because it is the easiest from of way to spread something or a idea.

2) I think that The Repeal, of the Funeral Procession of Miss Americ-Stamp is a propaganda because they are standing in what they believe in.

part 1-Pictures and songs are shown because they describe what a revolution was like from the people point of view. the way to communicate will be music because i like rythme and its an easy way to express it.

part 2-Haitian Revolution Begins with a Slave Revolt should be a propaganda because people are being harmed and it COULD be because of a rumor or false information.

sebastian.c.elv3

1/8/2013 06:04:31 am

P1. I believe they used songs and pictures because people would rather want to listen to a song instead of a speech because it is more interesting. If I was a revolutionary leader I would use slogans and pictures because the pictures can be in more than one place at a time and more people can see them.

P2. I chose the "UNITE OR DIE'' picture as propaganda because it means that you need to join the cause or die trying.

Part 1 Response – Pictures and songs were used because that was the only way to get the word out. Pictures help people remember what they are fighting for and songs were catchy. If I was a revolutionary leader the best way of communicating the idea of revolution to the masses would be cartoons because it would catch younger peoples’ attention and maybe that would get more and more people to start trying to fight for their country.
Part 2 Response – I think the picture about the Haitian Revolution is considered propaganda because it shows the slaves that fighting was okay and something they could do and should do when back then it really wasn’t okay for them to fight back.

Ana.lop.elv3

1/8/2013 08:13:18 am

1. I would pick the form of communicating the idea of revolution the the people by using slogans and pictures. I would chose the pictures and slogans get the picture across the people better and faster. They would see the picture and have a visual of fighting for their freedom ,also seeing that other people have this idea and seeing that they might not be alone. This will make people see that their lives might be better with this revolution. The slogan is usually catchy so people will remember it and will kept it at the back of their minds. Thus, making the people change their minds on what they think of what is the right thing and what should be.

2. I picked the picture entitled “ unite or die” to consider it propaganda. I consider it propaganda because it shows a slogan powerful to make the people to think about what side they are on and implying some war to happen. It also encourages people to speak their mind and unite to fight together to have this freedom, that they so desperately want to win over. It also shows all of the states which means that the person who made it wants to untie so they can fight a common enemy.

1/9/2013 05:14:59 am

1) i think that pictures and other things were to express like their feelings and how they feel about it and some more people will agree to it and then it leads to revolution. I would choose the speech because that's here most things work and people might also hear you so then they might agree with u and help you win the revolution.

2) i think that the Hidalgo picture is a propaganda because it looks like people are trying to get together and help fight because i see some weapons and more things and looks like people are in a revolution too.

Part 1 Response~
The message from these pictures and the French National Anthem showed how the people were in grief because of the war and how that bloody fight had occurred and how they just wanted freedom and if not that much then liberty. If I was a revolutionary leader I would do a public speech to at least touch the heart of the people to show them how much I want change just as much as they do. I would also put up pictures of the wars and while they are being displayed, play sad music to show the people who were suffering anguish.

Part 2 Response~
The French National Anthem was a propaganda because in the song it’s taking you back to the war of blood, sadness, and distress because it would tell them to march on and on and to drench their fields with tainted blood. It was giving you information of how violently they fought for their country.

part 1-pictures,songs,and posters were used to convey the message of revolution by people singing songs to get people to do somethings,show pictures of the important people which who they should obey,etc.if I was a revolutionary leader I would do an idea of my own beause it would give me time to think about it ,what would be the best decision for me,etc.
part 2-the "Unite or Die" picture because it would maybe tell people to respect others or they will die,etc.

reb.c.elv2

1/10/2013 04:53:27 am

1) Pictures and songs were used to convey a revolution because people wanted to express their feelings and emotions about the British government, freedom and liberty. They also used pictures and songs because most people during that time didn’t have an education or the skills to read or write. They wanted everyone to see or hear about their work so others could express their feelings about the British too. I think that a public speech would be the best way of communicating the idea of a revolution because people could listen to what you think and why you think that way. You can also answer any questions people have about your idea of a revolution.
2) I think that the picture with the snake broken up into parts with the initials of the states and “Unite or Die” on it is propaganda. I think that it is propaganda because each part stands for a colony. At that time the 13 colonies wanted to become 1 nation and the British government wouldn’t let them, so the colonies said that if they didn’t become a nation, they would die trying and there would be no ore 13 colonies.

Avery.H.elv3

1/10/2013 05:13:10 am

#1 Pictures and songs were used to convey the message of revolution because, well just like with me people can remember it better if they see a picture vs. a speech or article. If I was a leader I would do pictures and slogans along with a speech, because the picture don't say a lot by them selves but people can remember them better.
#2 The French national anthem is propaganda because it is telling you about how sad and bad that time was.

kyle huneycutt

1/10/2013 06:01:39 am

The images and songs help give a mental image of what there describeing . Also to help you understand what there talking about .

I think that the one that said Dont Tread on me would be a propaganda.

Jalen.Nix.elv.3

1/10/2013 06:15:16 am

1.They used these posters to get the people seeing all the things they believed was right. This got most Americans to think that the British never did anything right. If I showed propoganda it would be in pictures and slogans because this would get my point across and all the people would be able to see it.
2. The propaganda I picked was the "Unite or die" propaganda. The reason this is propaganda is because they will not positivly die but they want them to join the revoltionand that what ended up happening.

Faith.a. elv 3

1/10/2013 06:48:15 am

1.The pictures and songs were used to get the message out about the revolution because, if some people didn't really understand what was happening in the revolution or who was in it they could hear the songs or look at the pictures to get it. If i were a revolutionary leader then i would publicly speak about it because then you could tell everyone what happened why your doing it, what propose you had to make of what it became.

2. I picked Liberty,Equality,Fraternity because, its showing that the french think that they have a fair amount of liberty and that they think they should be able to win the war. This is a form of propaganda because they are showing that every french men should be on there side not want the other nation to win that they are the winners or should be.

carolina.h.elv2

1/10/2013 07:00:36 am

Part 1 Response - The purpose of the pictures and songs is for they can be seen and hear, to know what is or what was happening. If I was a revolutionary leader I would do is music...songs. The songs will be very catchy and who does not like music. I will make it be played every where and make even more people care about their country.

Part 2 Response - The Slave Riot may be considered propaganda. This picture is based on misleading nature, it shows how the slaves wants there freedom. Also is showing the slaves point of view of wanting their freedom.

i agree with number one because songs are very catchy and would get stuck into peoples heads and they would repeat it over and over again.

1) Pictures and songs were used so that everyone could see, hear, and understand the messages in them. I believe the best thing to use is cartoons. They're easy to read and understand, and they're also entertaining.
2) The Haiti Revolution is propaganda. It shows a man being treated like an animal, chained up and on his knees, begging. He asks if he is or is not a man and a brother, because people treat him like he is not one.

Part 1 Response - Pictures and songs were use to help convey ( make an idea, ect. known or understandable to someone) so that if you were listening to a revolutionary leader, you would have images and rhythm to help you have a better understanding on what the leader is trying to say and explain to you. If I was a revolutionary leader, I would help the people listening to me understand more by giving them a nicely, prepared speech and show them nicely shown images on what I was trying to reach out and tell them.

Part 2 Response - Every picture or song speak out to me, but one I can really understand and relate to is, " Haitian Revolution Begins With a Slave Revolt". For starters, propaganda is information, misleading nature used to promote or publicize a political cause or point of view. I think the image I just named fit this meaning (of propaganda) because it's practically is saying like if someone is treating you unfairly by your opinion or beliefs then I believe you should rebel against that person or group and try to overthrow them. In this picture, it shows Haitian Slaves standing against their masters and giving them the painfulness they had given them.

1. Pictures and song make the express a person's view of something depending on the subject so.. the leaders used that to their advantage by making songs and pictures to motivate people. Also, I would choose slogans and pictures. Take World war 2 for example we were in late stages of the Great Depression and we had a war on our hands, and these posters/pictures were being posted every where to motivate people to help. So from the Great Depression to defeating the Nazi's and Japan, that is why I would choose slogans/pictures.
2. I pick the ''Hilgago' because one man is holding a torch which indicates to me he wants to start some kind fire and in the background it looks like people holding weapons and are in some kind of brawl.

1. Pictures and songs were used to show what was happening during the revolution and was a easy way to tell the people. If i was a revolutionary leader I would use pictures and slogans to get my point across. A slogan should be something that catches the eye and pictures most people enjoy looking at them.

2. The don't tread on me is not talking about a snake but the tea party groups and the difference between them.

1. They used pictures and songs to represent a revolution because they might have wanted to express how they felt about new england through any type of music or picture expressing their anger.I think that making a cartoon is the best idea , I think that because making a cartoon about another person or foe; is taunting them.

2.i think that the "Haitian revolution begins with a slave revolt" picture is definitely propaganda to the slaves encouraging them to not be controlled or mimicked by the British. Therefore, the revolt begins starting the revolution with the slaves attacking.

1) Using songs and pictures is a creative way to display propaganda.It catches people's attention; therefore, making more people join the cause that the propaganda supports. If I was a revolutionary leader, I would use slogans, pictures, and cartoons to support my cause and organization.Ben Franklin's "Unit or Die" cartoon caused the thirteen states under British rule to join forces abd fight back. Slogans are quite catchy, making it hard for others to forget it. Pictures catch people's attention; they like creativness.
2) The "Unite or Die" political cartoon is clearly an example of propaganda. It supports a political point of view. Franklin explained that if the thirteen states under British control did not fight back, they would soon be a part of British territory. Which would mean that their patriotism would soon die.

1. I think that the best way to communicate with the masses and the ideas for the revolution would be to have a speech because then people will think of you as a good leader and that they will pick your side when voting for what needed to be fixed. Another reason I picked to write a speech is so that when you get up there to the podium you will have backup if you get stuck. Also writing a speech is to make the adience believe that you are going to make their country better and yo can do that by having a speech because then you will have a better idea of what the people want and what they have.
2. I feel that the picture about the snake that said Unite or Die because it tells us that we should be together and agree on anything or to die and be alone. This picture shows that we are one and if we don't stick together as one then we will die.

part 1:If i were to convey a message to my people I would do it in a public appearance so that people could see how i look and feel how i feel when im talking to them about whats going on at the time.
Part 2:I think the picture of the man with his hands bound could be used for propaganda because the man in the picture has no freedom and i think that all men should have the freedom to do what ever they want that dose'nt hurt others

1. The pictures and song were used to get their point of view acrossed. I would use speeches to get my point of view acrossed as a revalotionary leader.

2.Unit or die because the states needed to come together befor they crumbeled.

1.Pictures and songs were used to create and sustain an image or memory in your head. Therefore, it will make it easier to remember since you have a song or picture. If I was a revolutionary leader, I would use public speeches, songs, pictures, and slogans. From a public speech you can easily talk to large groups of people so that they are all aware of the change. Songs and slogans can be very repetitive and catchy, making it much easier for some person to remember a mental picture. With pictures, you can show your opinion and automatically create an image for someone, so they don't have to do it on their own. This way you can control exactly what you see too.

2.“Unite or Die” is a good representation of propaganda. The creator thought that each state needed to come together or to die trying.

1) Pictures and songs are often used to convey ideas, in this case a revolution. I believe songs and pictures are used to convey this revolution because in this time, many of the colonists were somewhat illiterate. Hearing music and seeing pictures made the ideas easy for them to acess and understand because they could'nt read very well. If I was a leader during a revolution, I would spread my ideas through cartoons, pictures and slogans, and music. I think these means of idea delivery would be best because most people already pay attention to some form of all three.

2) I believe the "unite or die" picture is considered propaganda. I think it is very clearly propaganda because it basically states, if the colonies don't unite against Britain, everyone will go down together. regardless of if you joined in or not. That is very biased towards the colonists.
