Representation

1) List the people, places and groups represented in the poster. E.g. men, women, teenagers etc.

In the poster I could see 7 teenagers, 3 girls and 4 boys, all in a group. In the background of the poster it looks like they are in an urban area supposedly in their neighbourhood.

2) Are there any stereotypes you can identify?

In the poster, the stereotypes I  can identify is that they are possibly in gang related activities. This is because on the far right, you could see a male holding a bat. People would also think they are in gang related activities because of the clothes they are wearing.

3) What is the preferred reading of this poster?

The preferred reading of this poster is that teenagers know days hold weapons that may be a harm to others. Also, it doesn't only have to be teenage boys that are in gang activities it could also be girls.

4) What is the oppositional reading of this poster?

The oppositional reading of this poster is that they are just a group of friends hanging out doing regular teenage stuff. And because they live in a tough neighbourhood the audience might think he's holding a bat for protection against other teenagers.
