    In the poems ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ by Wilfred Owen and ‘Mametz Wood’ by Owen Sheers‚ they both put alarming perspective. This is shown in ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ when it says ‘The old lie’ and in ‘Mametz Wood’ when it says ‘Towards the wood and its nesting machine guns.’ ‘The old lie’ suggests that it is telling the audience that anything good you hear when people advertise war is misleading and is deceptive to the reader. Saying ‘Towards the wood and its nesting machine guns.’ also suggests that

    of Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est” Wilfred Owen’s poem “Dulce et Decorum Est”‚ is a powerful poem with graphical lifelike images on the reality of war. It is blatantly apparent that the author was a soldier who experienced some of the most gruesome images of war. His choice of words‚ diction‚ tone‚ syntax‚ and metaphor’s paint a vivid picture in a brilliant poem. His choice for the poem’s name is ironical in itself. The entire phrase is “Dulce et Decorum Est Pro patria mori”‚ which basically
