Audience: 

For my poster I would like to inform my audience because one thing that I noticed when I was researching was that the issues I was coming across were ones that I knew of but didn’t associate with suburbia because of the propaganda surrounding suburbia and the American dream. 

    I could also like to criticize propaganda and also criticize the issues that suburbia perpetuates which would then make my audience the government which doesn’t fix this issue and the people who remain ignorant.
