Wilfred Owen expresses his not so pleasant experiences of war through his poetry. He shows us the portrayal of the suffering and pity that the leaders had put their young soldiers in to by sending them off to war. His poem “the parable of the old man and the young’ is a biblical illusion of the story of Abraham and the poem ‘disabled’ illustrates to us both the mental and physical consequences of going to war. Owen adapts a biblical story to better suit a story which demonstrates to us the pointlessness
