Duck and Cover
Overt: Duck and cover when there has been signal of a bomb in the area. This was just an informational video. Even though they don't give information on the atomic bomb itself, they're just trying to give you an way to best protect yourself.
Destination Earth
Overt: Petroleum oil plays a very major part in American everyday life. With oil and competition you can make anything happen.

"Eat Less Bread"
1. Eat less Bread.
2. Overconsumption of bread is taking money away from the war.Soldiers will want to get the war over quickly so they can return home to a good, hearty meal made in a homely kitchen. Also it is implying that women are supposed to stay in the kitchen.
3. Because the covert message has really nothing to do with bread, that's why it's at the end and smaller.

"Clampdown" The Clash
1. "Clampdown" is a song directed toward Germans in the time of Hitler. "Blue-eyed man" Hitler thought of the perfect person as blue-eyed and blonde hair. It also mentions and makes references to Jews several times throughout the song.
2.They mumbled through the first stanza, because it was like the exposition (unnecessary information). It was up-paced and rock, reminded me of a rebel song.
3. Persuasion- They don't want to work for the "Clampdown" because of several reasons. "You're working for the clmapdown/ So you got someone to boss around/ It makes you feel big now... You made your first kill." Working for the "Clampdown" turns you into an oppressive monster.

Analyzing Quote
656. The vulgar crowd is always taken in by appearances, and the world consists chiefly of the vulgar.
NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI (1469-1527), The Prince, 1513.
Definition of vulgar (www.dictionary.com)- characterized by ignorance of or lack of good breeding or taste.
Niccolo Machiavelli is saying that ignorant people can always be appealed to through visuals, and since most of the people in the world are ignorant they can be easily conquered. We see an example of this with Hitler and the Germans he appealed to their senses and was able to fully turn them on their fellow man just because of his race. He used the star of David and other symbols to mark Jews visually so that people would know who they were and to discriminate against them. I don't quite know to classify this as because there's basis to this; it's just, people are ignorant, there's a lot of ignorant people, and this is how you appeal to them.
