Answer:

The answer is "The photograph shows fictional film characters, used to 'sell' immunization."

Explanation:

A testimonial is one of the most common and effective advertising techniques. You may notice that the products you've been using are endorsed by either famous celebrities or satisfied customers, giving their feedback about the product. In other cases, some promotional ads use experts' opinions about the product. These are examples of testimonials.

In this case, the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare use Star Wars' characters to sell the idea of immunization.

In 1977, the first installment of Star Wars was released, and it was a certified box office. The irony illustrates that the two characters were not human beings, but they're warning humans regarding immunization. It may sound funny, but people bought it. And it's because of the characters in the poster.

R2D2 and C3P0 were the characters used in the poster who played supporting but remarkable roles in the movie franchise. The creators of the poster took advantage of how famous these two were and cited as likeable sources since many people loved them.

In poetry, repetition helps create a rhythmic pattern as well as emphasize an idea. It can consist of repeating the same word or phrase, sometimes even whole lines. In the passages we are inserted here, we can notice the repetition of a several words and phrases:

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,

By the shining Big-Sea-Water,

Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,

Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.

Dark behind it rose the forest,

Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,

Rose the firs with cones upon them;

Bright before it beat the water,

Beat the clear and sunny water,

Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "The Song of Hiawatha")

We rest.—A dream has power to poison sleep;

We rise.—One wandering thought pollutes the day;

We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;

Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:

(Percy Shelley, "Mutability")

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Read the excerpt from the play A Man's World.

larisa [96]

The literary theme here is that women have a difficult time because nobody takes them seriously, or at least that's what it was like in the first half of the 20th century. Many people believed that women shouldn't be taken seriously and shouldn't have things like voting rights or rights to work or similar things because they were considered to be less serious than men, and that's putting it nicely because many people were not nice to them.
