The Provocative Gesture
By: Mack
The Provocative Gesture is one that expresses an emotion such as anger or strength using different poses. These were used in eras such as in World War II for propaganda posters especially to show that women were strong enough to work in factories. This was an encouragement to women to show how powerful they were in getting their points across. Provocative gestures were also used to promote gay marriages in the United States as well. To provoke an audience is to give them a kind of stimulus or incite to do something hence why the term provocative gesture came to be because it sends a stimulus to the audience it was appealing to through these such posters

The whole purpose of a propaganda poster was to try to in courage people to fight for their country, and with a gesture like this it almost seems that the poster is only getting the message straight to yourself.

With cutting up the snake, the message is that the states wouldn't survive if they all separated. They need to come together as one, as a whole, to stay alive.
