Do the job HE left behind”

The ad I chose is a 1943 20th century war poster made by R.G. (Robert George) Harris. I really like the meaning and history behind this ad as it commits to an important message and movement that is still present in today’s society.

    identify the signifiers and the signified.

    What is the linguistic message?
    What are the non-coded iconic messages?
    What are the coded iconic messages?
    Identify the denotative and connotative aspects.
    Are the signs icons, indexes, or symbols? Explain why.
    Consider the cultural codes being conveyed in the advertisement.
    Do you observe polysemic signs, myths, or naturalization?
