11- What sorts of feelings do you think the people were supposed to get from these posters? (Think color, expressions, slogans, et cetera.) // They were probably supposed to feel angry, or a passion. The colors display deep emotions. The messages are written so people will feel obliged to do what they say. //
 * The people were supposed to have a nationalistic feeling from all the people together. The red is the color of the Chinese flag, and it gives them spirit in their nation. Red symbolizes boldness, and death to their enemies, they are willing to die for their country. Also the book in the boy's hand symbolizes the education of the Chinese, and they are smart. Since the people have the book to their hearts, they love education, and they want others to follow in their way. ** All of the posters contain the color red. Red correlates with guilt and anger. These were the exact feelings that the posters wanted to feel. They want you to get angry to then fuel the Cultural Revolution with those feelings. Also, many are holding the Mao Thoughts book, this shows that it is okay to rebel because it is being showing as almost a shield or weapon

12. Click on the link called, “Up to the mountains, down to the villages.” The purpose was to send high school teenagers and those in the Red Guard who lived urban areas to be educated so Mao could build the perfect socialist society. These Red Guard students were sent away to cause less disruption within society.

13. Scroll down to the paragraph beginning, “In reality.” Did the Countryside Movement achieve its goals? Why or why not? Many peasants living in the areas resented the arrival of urban youths because they did not believe that they were able to produce the type of labor they were used to. They believed the urban children were a threat to their own survival. Many students also died during this process because they were not used to the harsh life of the peasants. One of the main goals of this relocation process was to get rid of the millions of urban students, while they were attempting to take control of the Red Guards and stop the factional struggle and civil strife. For the most part, I don’t think the Countryside Movement had a positive outcome, as it resulted in much resentment towards the government.
