A. Study the poster above, then answer these questions.
1. What connections did the three chain countries represented by the letters A, B and D, which the soldier is breaking from the chain, have with Asia?
-Because along with Asia suffering the attack of Japan, the Americans, British, and Dutch also suffered.
2. Why do you think the artist portrayed the countries' connections with Asia as a heavy chain?
-Maybe is showed that these connections were unbreakable, much like a heavy chain in unbreakable... or at least very hard to break because it is so strong.
3. Suggest what the breaking of the chain by the soldier is meant to represent.
-It is showing that Asia is growing to power, and that they are starting to break the bond between the Americans, British, and Dutch.
4. Why do you think the Japanese published the poster with English rather than Japanese lettering?
-Maybe it was meant to appeal to people who spoke English, like America and Britain, rather than the Japanese people.
And a lot of people in those areas spoke English because of the history of British colonialism.
