    Compare Owen’s differing presentation of the nightmare in Dulce Et Decorum Est‚ Anthem and The Sentry‚ consider how is it presented and whether the focus is on the subjects or the poet. Owen’s presentation of the First World War in Dulce Et Decorum Est is achieved by direct connotations of the metaphor ‘nightmare’. By doing this‚ he implies that the audience will never be able to relate to the poem and really understand the horrors during WW1. For example‚ ‘till on the haunting flares we turned

    Personal Response to Wilfred Owen One of Wilfred Owen’s poem is Dulce et Decorum est. The title of this poem is roughly translated to: It is honorable and beautiful to die for your country‚ the poem itself basically speaks of how this is a lie. It takes you through a small story at the end of which it explains in gruel poetry the death of a soldier with effective language that helps inspire fear “And watch the white eyes writhing in his face‚ His hanging face‚ like a devil’s sick of sin;” I believe

    identity and deference that was attached to the soldiers. The 25 line broken verse poem presented in a single stanza‚ speaks on behalf of the disrespected‚ mute‚ fallen soldiers who are unable to describe their personal suffering. In contrast‚ Dulce et decorum est by Wilfred Owen was written in 1917 to depict the helplessness of veterans caught in the gruesome horrors of a gas attack. The poem

    reality of  war.  The two texts I am going to refer to‚ to show this are “The long and  the short and the tall” by Wills Hall and "Dulce et decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen.  Wilfred Owen writes his poetry to get over the trauma of the  experience. He has (like many other poets) the burning desire to get  the horror of the war across to other people.  “Dulce et Decorum Est” means “It’s a sweet and honourable thing to die  for your country”. The poem is about a group of men leaving the trenches for

    Short Writing 4 The presentation of war in the poems written by Odin and Alfred Lord Tennyson compared to poems written by Wilfred Owen is vastly different. Both shed vastly different light on the subject of one dying for his country. The main fundamental ideological difference of the two given poems by Odin and Tennyson is that they believe when one dies in war‚ they should be honored and celebrated‚ and it should be considered a glorious death‚ while Wilfred Owen believes a death in war is

    Battle of the Sambre just one week before the war had ended. A telegram from the War Office announcing his death was delivered to his mother’s home as her town’s church bells were ringing in celebration of the end of the war. He wrote the poem dulce et decorum est in 1917. This poem has a strict a‚b‚a‚b‚c‚d‚c‚d pattern. It has roughly 10 syllables per line in iambic pentameter. It has a very strict rhyming pattern and amount of syllables. The strictness is probably related to the strictness that

    contrasting feelings in readers and affects their impression of war in opposite ways. Examples of these differences can be seen in the two poems by Rupert Brook ’The Dead (iii) and ’The Soldier’ and two by Wilfred Owen ’Anthem for Doomed Youth’ and ’Dulce et Decorum Est’. Rupert Brooke writes ’The Dead (iii)’ in an extremely relaxed and romantic mood. Brooke had not experienced war‚ so with this in mind the poem seems very clear and concise. Brooke aims to show us the glory that is brought about by dying
