    Owen vs Henderson

    • 1656 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Wilfred Owen’s protest poem Strange Meeting contrasts harshly with Mary Henderson’s An Incident. While Owen argues the futility of war‚ "a nation’s trek from progress"‚ Henderson likens the soldier’s death on the battlefield to the crucifixion of Christ‚ advocating it as a honourable‚ almost divine sacrifice for the motherland. Henderson recounts an incident where she tends to a wounded soldier‚ displaying a motherly characteristic consistent with other female war poets. The soldier is identified

    Owen Wilson’s poetry is based around the false glory of war and the true brutality of the experiences the soldiers faced while at battle. These ideas and experiences are represented in the poem’s Mental Cases and Disabled effectively as they discuss the physical and mental burdens the soldiers faced returning home from battle through the use of poetic techniques. Mental Cases revolves around the victims of shell shock and their experiences of never truly leaving the war. The use of oxymoron’s‚

    Disabled by Wilfred Owen

    • 585 Words
    • 3 Pages

    It is my intent to analyze Disabled by Wilfred Owen‚ the majority of which focused on a soldier’s present condition rather than the past; the part that did focus on the past were more pessimistic that this portion. The poem seemed realistic and personal as it portrayed an image of one man’s own experience during World War I. Owen wrote about the war because he was a poet and a soldier. I believe that Owen saw the disorder that war created‚ and I noticed that he used irregularities of rhyme in the

    destined to fail. The quality of producing no valuable effect‚ or of coming to nothing; uselessness. The structure of the poem is in balanced stanzas - the tenderness and hopefulness at the beginning; the growing bitterness of the second‚ with its climax. Owen is telling the persona’s story of the death of a comrade as a balance. This has to happen as so many of them died that there still has to be a degree of sanity left in them. "Futility" mourns the sad ironic death of a soldier‚ a young man in a young

    As expressed in the article “A Prayer for the Ganges” by Joshua Hammer‚ the Ganges River is horribly polluted. Many tanneries alongside the Ganges drain toxic chemicals into the river that cause various severe health issues. This source of pollution combined with sewage runoff‚ littering‚ and the placing of dead bodies into the river has become such a problem that in the city of Varanasi “the coliform bacterial count is at least 3‚000 times higher than the standard established as safe”. While Hinduism
