ETERNAL VIGILANCE

Eric: As you can see, the picture in the background is an example of propaganda. The word “Go ahead, please “TAKE DAY OFF!” means that if they work less , they are helping the enemies to win the war. I know this as the British is an example.They actually work less and end up losing to the Japanese.They even had a party before that as they were to complacent that they would win.Therefore,the Japanese were making strategies and working hard.So this propaganda is referring to the Japanese being proud that the British took their day off.

Eric :This news may be a form of propaganda too. As you have watched just now, Singaporeans will belief that they are well protected by the defenses like the cannons around the coast and the protection from the war ships like the prince of whales. But who knows, they are still defeated. The British make the Singapore in the war believe that the Singapore is invincible like a impregnable fortress, so when the Japanese struck the Singapore was totally unprepared.

Chapter 4 Pg 44 (Para4) 

“I was the probate judge , for a change ; Dill led Jem away and crammed him beneath the steps , poking him with the brush-broom”

What does the word probate tells of the judge ?
Well i feel thats it tell me that the judge had to officially approve something which i could infer that he was  a fair judge .

Why does Dill have to cram Jem beneath the steps ? Are they hiding something ?
Dill was poking Jem with the brush-broom , why did he do it ?

1) Pg 9 , line 27 -33

… ” Once the town was terrorized by a series of morbid nocturnal events : people’s chickens and household pets were found mutilated ; although the cuprit was Crazy Addie , who eventually drowned himself in Barker’s Eddy, people still looked at the Radley Place, unwilling to discard their initial suspicions. ”

Personally for me , i felt this is the development of the plot of Radley Place . This is to make a bad impression of Boo Radley . But why did they unwilling to discard their initial suspicions ? Please give your opinion of this sentence .

Will be editing more

Purpose of the propaganda – This propaganda wanted to influence the readers that the Japanese are also capable of ruling the countries or cities like how the Europeans does .

Explaination – They wanted people in Asian to know of their power to bring countries in Asian together and rule it well too . There were many people cheering for the Japanese too  . They might have supported the Japanese actions .

Evidence – From the picture , we can see many countries holding their country flags  and walking towards the Japanese . This tells us that many countries are alright working with the Japanese .  The propaganda also shows one representive of thailand shaking hand with the Japanese . They must have some kind of good relationship in order for them to shake hands with each other .  

Link back - I know from this that the Japanese could be trying to improve their standing in the British mind as they made the propaganda look as if they had the support of many Asian countries .
