By: Samuel Galan
Format
This propaganda is in the form of a poster.
Intended Audience
The audience is american civilians who need to keep quiet about the war, because spies may be hearing
Propaganda technique
The technique used here is fear. They show the consequence of talking loosely to persuade people to keep quiet

The poster features a sinking boat and above the words above saying "loose lips sink ships" suggesting that talking loosely might have grave consequences like this.
Key words
We see word like sink witch give the audience a sick feeling and stresses the grave situation of war

The purpose is to scare people to not spread rumors to avoid trouble
Effectiveness
I think this would have worked well because of the rising concern with the war and the Nazis
