In this essay I will be comparing the two poems‚ ‘The Man He Killed’ by Thomas Hardy and ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ by Wilfred Owen. ‘The Man He Killed’ is about a man who was in the war and is thinking about his memories in the war. The main part of his experience in the war that he is reminiscing is the killing that he committed and the majority of the poem is focused on that. Thomas Hardy did not go to war himself but it could be thought that he got the idea from a friends experience in the war. The

faces seem to disappear into the trenches. I try to run from the noise‚ but my mind keeps causing me to re-illustrate the painful memories left behind. The three narratives "Home Soil" by Irene Zabytko‚ "Song of Napalm" by Bruce Weigl‚ and "Dulce et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen all have the same feelings of war and memory‚ although not everyone experiences the same war. Zabytko‚ Weigl‚ and Owen used shifting beats‚ dramatic descriptions‚ and intense‚ painful images‚ to convince us that the horror

Comparing “The Soldier” and “Counter Attack” At the beginning of the century two ideas prevailed about what war was like; it was either heroic or mere butchery.

Unlike Sassoon‚ Brooke never fought at the front line‚ but joined the Mediterranean Navy where he died of a mosquito bite. Rupert Brooke expressed his feelings about

“Heartland” written by Linda Hogan has underlying messages a reader must carefully pay attention to in order to fully understand the poem. Hogan describes “City Poems” as her analysis of city life and how she appreciates it which can seem complex when reading her poem. She begins the poem describing how rare silence in the city can appear to people‚ constant traffic from vehicles and voices of people traveling the streets. Then she understands what the “city poems” other authors write about and how

Et Nox Facta Est Within the writings of the author Victor Hugo‚ I see a theme of what I would compare to a tragedy. There is such heavy emotion put into this work. Throughout the work of Est Nox Facta Est‚ there are many themes of darkness‚ and struggle within the life of whom this is written about‚ wether it is fiction or based off of a real life event. The poem has heavy ties to that of the subject of religion‚ and that of almost a dark and gothic theme. This poem to me seems to be a poem explaining

Although both ’Dulce et Decorum Est’ and ’Who’s for the Game’ were written during the great war‚ both poem had opposing view points. Both Wilfred Owen and Jessie Pope were inspired to write due to the war but Wilfred Owen fought in the western front while Jessie Pope stayed in the comfort of the home front. ’Who’s for the Game’ gave young men false impressions of war while ’Dulce et Decorum Est’ showed readers the grim realities of war.

How do Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon communicate their thoughts and feelings about war in the poems ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ and ‘Base Details’?

“They” by Siegfried Sassoon The poem exists out of two stanzas‚ with a rhyme pattern of ababcc dedeff. The tone of the poem appears to be a little sarcastic and mocking. The poem is a direct conversation between a Bishop and boys (soldiers)‚ it can be seen by the use of the double quotations. I assume for the boys to be soldiers as they know the other soldiers by their names. In line 1-6 the Bishop‚ is telling the boys that when the soldiers return from the war‚ they will not be the same
