Hey Larisa! A WWII poster sounds like a really good idea for the essay. I don’t know if you’ve chosen a poster yet, but I would recommend really looking into the culture of the time period. What were people afraid of? What sort of ideals were celebrated? What sort of ideals were frowned upon? That way you can see how the poster caters to the specific ideologies of the time and you can see if kairos is at work in the poster.
