The girls’ doll had touched and lie on the symbol of Nazis, which is the symbol of death and make people feel serious about the War. The artist use transfer as propaganda on using American flag and the symbol of Nazis make people transfer their emotion on as an America, they should help protect the country and fight against the war. This poster was successful during the World War II because it is good for America to encourage people, especially patriots to join the army and buying war bonds to help make the America strong. If this poster is in today’s society, it might not have the same impact as during World War II, it’s because now the world is almost peaceful and the countries become developed, they got enough money to buy the weapons and build the armies. Don’t need the money from civilians to buy war bonds. In today’s society, there is less demand for war bonds and soldiers. So it might not work in today's America.
