“Disabled” : The human cost of war Wilfred Owen’ s poem “Disabled” was written during his four-month stay at Craiglock- hart Hospital in 1917. The poem eloquently depicts the disassociation and detachment from self and society felt by this solider who has become disabled. Owen uses the term “queer” to show that the soldier’ s losses have made his body alien. These injuries have also removed his social masculinity. As I read the poetry of Wilfred Owen‚ I was often disheartened by his

Anthem Ayn Rand met her expectations‚ and along with everyone else. By writing this speculative fiction she has pointed out how people want others to be in the world‚ but in a more dramatic tense. As Thomas Jefferson said‚ ¨All men are created equal¨. They may be created equal when they are born‚ but some strive to do great things while others wait. We are our own individual.

“Disabled” written by Wilfred Owen is a poem which exposes the misconceptions associated with the nature of war. It reveals how easily war can inflict long lasting effects on an individual and shows that war is something which can’t be underestimated.

He is said to be “legless” and “sewn short at the elbow” and in a “ghastly suit of grey”. Here the imagery is quite melancholic
