Unit 3 Assessment
1. Perform a rhetorical analysis (focusing on the criteria of your choice) of the U.S. Government film about the Japanese & Japanese-American internment camps in class. I like focusing on the objects in the background of propaganda, and think of all the ways it can affect an audience like I did with The Thrifty Pig film. The first time I watched it I noticed the multiple American flags, the globe in the man’s office. Flags showing that the man giving you this information is like you, an American.

Like, Phillipe Lopate, I think that this single orchestral backing up the film did a better job than any person could narrate. Music can evoke feeling in us, and that’s why this music was designed for especially when it is working with such a powerful documentary as Night and
