Complete the recap / photo
This _______________ of Richie, a young boy hold____ a gun, is extremely ________.
In the _______________, we can see a quiet, normal-looking suburban street lined with houses, and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
However, the focus of the image is Richie, who doesn’t look any older than_____or ________, sitting on his “Big Wheel” toy, with one arm on the handlebars
and the other _______________ __ _________. I find this surprising, as I have never lived in a community where _____________a
gun is the norm, never mind one where children are _______________to use them.
The juxtaposition of the middle-class s__________ setting and the dangerous weapon in the boy’s hand is very striking.
The __________ on Richie’s face suggests that holding a gun is not something that he finds unusual, exciting or scary.

Productions possiblesa. This document shows the statistics regarding gun crime; specifically the numberof people killed annually due to gun crime in various countries around the world.
There is also a slogan across the centre of the poster, which reads “God Bless America”. We can’t help noticing the slogan in the middle of the poster just above an image of a revolver decorated in the
American flag. There is also a campaign logo in the bottom left-hand corner of the poster to discourage the use of guns in the
United States.
b. The target audience of the poster is the American public. I know this because guns are a bigpart of American culture which is demonstrated by the significantly higher statistic regardingthe number of fatalities due to gun crime in the States compared to anywhere else mentionedon the poster, as well as the obvious use of the American flag printed onto the gun.
c. The campaigner’s goals are to highlight the severity of the matter of gun crime in the UnitedStates in particular. They wish to point out the fact that there are significantly more deathsin America caused by gun crime than there are anywhere else in the world. He or she pointsthis out in order to encourage people to stop resorting to using guns.
d. I believe the message to be effective since it is very simple. A more violent or gory image wouldperhaps be more shocking and effective for many reasons, but as it stands, this image setsout the facts literally. There are no embellishments; just the absolute truth.I therefore believe that it is effective and the message is clearly and concisely communicatedto the target audience.
