Comparison of poems 'Refugee Blues' and 'You Will Be Hearing from Us Shortly'
The poem 'Refugee Blues' is written by W.H. Auden, an Anglo-American poet. 'You Will Be Hearing from Us Shortly' is written by U.A. Fanthorpe. Both the poems discuss about the prejudice and discrimination through the use of tone and language. W.H.Auden particularly deals with topics about moral and political issues.
'Refugee Blues' deals with the abuse of human rights experienced not only by the German Jews, but by other Jews and refugees anywhere. It is a moving poem on war, its consequences and also on discrimination. The poem 'You Will Be Hearing from Us Shortly' conjures up an image of a malign interviewer looking down in disgust at the unfortunate interviewee. It is also an address to someone, exemplified by the use of the second person pronoun 'You'.
Discuss the ways in which Wilfred Owen vividly conveys disability and death in ‘Miners‘and ‘Disabled‘
Wilfred Owen was an English poet, who was born on the 18th March 1893. He got in to the army in 1917 after working as a teacher, however, he didn’t spend a long time there; 4 months only. He never forgot this experience. His work was strongly influenced by a poet Siegfried Sassoon. War had got a lot of effects on the people who got in it. Disability was one of them, and so was death of course. These were used as themes for many of the poems he had produced.
‘Miners’ and ‘Disabled’ were both written during the period of WW1. They share the reality of war and the effects of it on humans, both psychological and physical. ‘Miners’ is Owen’s respond on a colliery disaster, which caused a big shock to him and made him very disappointed. Many men and even young boys were killed there and he wanted to convey the truth to the ordinary people; not to forget. This is shown in ‘But they won’t dream of us’ as no one is going to remember what actually happened on that bloody day. However, the dead bodies are going to be transformed into
